i'm not currently using any additional languages in my work. but i am indeed engaging in language learning in my personal life. it will surely become involved in my work also, in the future. but not in a way that would hinder your understanding of it, as an english speaker

How did you end up playing drums in the Scary Pockets video? I loved the song and you were great. Just curious why they wanted you on drums since you're not known as a drummer specifically

they emailed me and asked if i wanted to do a thing. and i said sure, but only if i'm on drums. and they said "sure, we'll banish our drummer for a while" which was nice of them. in a band setting, i'm by far the most comfortable on drums

bar chord or barre chord? why?

i have no idea. i usually forget that it's "barre" but then when i remember, i realize it's better to say that, because "bar" means other things in music. or you could say "barred" and get the best of both worlds. now it's "bar" and it's a verb, which makes sense, because it's something you do

is there a better way to tell someone on the anniversary of their vaginal cannon launch that you're glad they exist and that you wish to honor and celebrate them as a person and hope they have a generally good time that doesn't come off as a rote phrase? besides the things you do to help those wishes become a reality

as people get older, sometimes they prefer to completely ignore their birthday because it is a reminder of their age. so i think it's actually better to show gratitude at a completely different time, unrelated to that day

how did you design the cities in some of your recent videos like "perfect." and "2 friends on the beach"? The details and geometry of buildings and the city layout look so true-to-life that I really can't tell if you're using pre-made models or doing it all from scratch. If you're using pre-made models, could you tell me where they're from? Thanks!

i made them myself but they are based on real-world places. that's what makes the difference. if you try to make something up, you'll end up with that weird digital desert that you always start in by default. when i started using real places as reference, then it all got better
