Pandemic social distancing diary thread

[Vlantis]

Did you make this?

Yeah, with magazines, scissors, and a glue stick. You can find more of my collages in the art thread (and the cover of the Soul Engine IDMf release), although some have had better scans since then (think I may have posted them further up in this thread.) Had a showing planned… cancelled, of course.

Some even feature naked ladies and stuff!!!

Not only did he make it, but knowing what I do of Vlant, he probably slept with the woman he made it for.

Haha! Not this one. Hey now, there have only been five!!

Tried to scan the big one last night, but something came apart right at the end and fucked it all up, so I need to repair it. Spent a damn hour scanning it, too.

Speaking of collages, my friend is in town on his way to Colorado. Just got married. I promised him a year ago I’d make him a collage, soooooo that’s what I’m doing now.

Isolation has an upside to me.
I get to sport my Covashion without concern over work requirements!

Cheers,

This reminds me of a game called Samorost. I don’t know if you ever played that.

I’ve definitely been rocking my PJ’s and lounge shirt every day.

HEY EVERYBODY THERE’S STILL TIME TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR BB114 SO C’MON IN, DOWNLOAD THE SAMPLES AND LAY DOWN SOME TRACKS!!! BUT ACT QUICKLY, WE NEED SUBMISSIONS BEFORE THE END OF TODAY, EVEN IF IT’S JUST THROWN TOGETHER WE’LL TAKE IT AND WE NEED TWO MORE SUBMISSIONS!!!

BB114 makes u dream

Rule #1 Make it trippy man. Like actually weird and maybe a bit disturbing. Rule #2 “autotune” the guy doing the dmt review at some point in your track. Doesn’t have to be literally autotune, just have it be pitched shifted to be melodic… i think Reaper has a free autotune plugin you can download tho. rule #3 create some kind of drone/noise ambience that is featured throughout a good portion of your track. smaples: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rb1RLYBrkCaNX44la6oW02rgDm-GRI-z/view?u…

Nope. Tell them to hire me.

“Ceremonial Offering”

[Vlantis]

New scan 9f “Memory Machine.”

I need to buy more frames. I’m almost out.

[IO_Madness]

Those are some cool collages, Vlantis!

[Vlantis]

Have the afternoon off because a machine is down in the plant, still gotta work tonight, though.

I finally set up my entertainment center after moving. Gonna celebrate with some PSVR and some 3D headphones I got but never used.

(Don’t lose track of time. Don’t lose track of time. Don’t lose track of time…)

EDIT: Oh joy, X USB error message! Fuck it after two hours, I don’t have the time nor the inclination to work that shit out. Back to playing games the old fashioned way!

[Vlantis]

Hey, because I know you all care, I got my PSVR working!..just in time for bed. Work tomorrow…always work.

[nose]

I got my PSVR working

PSVR is pretty good stuff m8, have you tried Resident Evil VII with it? I found it particularly impressive!

[Vlantis]

No, that would give me a heart attack.

I mainly play Rez, Thumper, and Wipeout on it. Got some more stuff, but those are my go-to’s.

Again, I got super limited internet where I am and am hoarding my mad money, something new for me for a while. I got Everest for five bucks but never tried it. That was an early one that I always wanted to check out.

[Vlantis]

Somebody backed into my car while I was parked at my second job and totally fucked up my passenger door (it doesn’t open, but the car can drive and my custom sound system remains intact). He apologized profusely, the cops were called, info was exchanged.

I sure hope he’s covered. I ain’t paying for ANY of this. Good thing tomorrow’s the one day I have some time between jobs. Called my buddy at the car place who deals with insurance. All good.

What fun. Oh…so much fun. I’d rather be talking to the new girl at work who speaks Japanese.

[IO_Madness]

urgh, sorry to hear that, hope they’re able to cover it.

[Vlantis]

Should be fine, just a pain in the ass. Showed up at work and used some time I have to take the rest of the day off.

There’s a shooter at large (some college kid shot his roommate and hasn’t been caught), so my second job’s cancelled. I am now about to eat breakfast.

It happens around campus. A gal I dated for a bit lives around there and we heard gunshots fairly often. Mostly wannabes firing into the air, I’m assuming. The victim will probably have quite a story if he lives.

More car shit in a bit.

[Vlantis]

Got shit worked out. I pay for none of it. Car’s in the shop in two weeks.

I really like your collages…I know it might sound like I’m being sarcastic but the irony is that I’m not. I like your eye and how you mix random pictures together to create an entirely new image.

It really is interesting. I like this kind of art because it is an effective medium for communicating an alternative perspective…

I should start drawing again…but in the past they were kind of hellish and ridiculous…I’ve done some abstract stuff recently but i dont know i just wasnt in the mood and ive had to deal with real life stuff that I just cant avoid…and sometimes i just feel like the wubba Lubba dub dub isnt a valid excuse.
