Today I started my new job and, if anyone was curious, I am now working at CD Projekt Red as a programmer in the Witcher 4 team.

(Yes, I am primarily a game programmer, not a musician, though my recent activity here might have been misleading...)

A very interesting video about silent era film makeup. More in depth than the usual Tiktoks on the topic that are circulating around the net.

I wonder why people who use AI generated images do not colour correct the piss filter. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard? Or are the images we see on the net already colour corrected?

So like, Chopin Competition is a big thing in Poland, so I started checking out the livestream and I got hooked. It lends itself surprisingly well to live streaming. I really like the interviews with the performers, because you can see it's a bunch of young music nerds who are having their great day and I can't help but smile seeing that. Oh, and it lends itself well to listening while programming, so that's a nice bonus.

I got myself one of those big fat 34 inch curved super panoramic displays for my new WFH setup and:
- they are not that expensive, I got an Iiyama 3440x1440 180 Hz for around €320 without even shopping around and there are some for around €210
- you get used to them quickly and they are damn comfortable, in some ways better than 2 regular displays
- they work great with laptops, no need to think how to connect 2 displays to one HDMI port

Overall, I highly recommend it.

My new workplace seems to have a much more reasonable approach to after hours work. Maybe I'll be more willing to publish stuff if I don't have to clear the legality of it every time.

Youtube premiere of my latest song Moments Between The Past And The Future is up https://youtu.be/yRk-AQnnGCc

I would appreciate if you would give it a listen.
