Hey!! I’m Echoes of a Dystopia, I write original music for games, mainly focused on atmosphere-heavy projects. Most of my work leans into horror, dark ambient, liminal spaces, psychological tension, surreal environments, and emotional narrative-driven games. I’m less interested in “background music” and more in making music that feels like part of the world itself. I’ve worked with indie developers on released projects and I’m currently looking to take on more game work. Things I offer: • In-game music • Main menu themes • Trailer / reveal music • Loop-ready gameplay tracks • Adaptive / layered music • Ambient worldbuilding and tension scoring •...

I don’t know why but I couldn’t stop shaking. Even with the wool blanket coiled around my body tightly. It smelled sterile and flat like a hospital. I wrung the stuffed animal they gave me in my pale hands. The bear’s patrol uniform was already wrinkling with every flex of my digits. The ever present ticking of the solitary clock, made my head pound. Every now and again I could almost hear muffled voices from behind the two-way mirror. The hanging light above me hummed like a faulty fridge, I wasn’t sure why these normally permissible sounds couldn’t leave my focus.  Without any warning something knocked softly from the other side of the plain door. It opened slowly like whoever...

Hello\~ 32/non-binary here! Went on a date with the husband and decided to try on my gothic lolita inspired outfit for it! The black blouse piece was from vampirefreaks and the dress part was from a local thrift store. 🦇

The sound of a door slamming shut tore me out of my dreams. My heart pounded as I leapt to my feet. My hazy vision settled on Ethan’s mom trudging in with two gallons of milk from the morning delivery.  I grumbled as I chastised myself for startling so easily. I plopped back into the couch. Ethan’s snoring stirred a steady ire within. I tossed a pillow at him which only earned an annoyed mumble from him. The glow from the morning flooded through the windows. I tried in vain to sleep in but I gave up and reached for the remote instead and switched it to FOX. The morning cartoons were on which seemed to be enough to wake Ethan as he groggily watched the screen. The Warners chased the s...

Sorry to bore you with talk about anything but the weather, but my weekend felt rather odd. You see I've been hearing a lot about how Pokémon cards are popular and the idea of holding the intricate icon of consumerism in my palm moved me to the point that I folded yesterday. And so I choose to go to my mall, because why not? Live alone, occupation deniable, must be worth something, right? Not so wrong.. but I'm not so sure about those Pokémon cards anymore. At least the ways I'd get mixed up in them. Nah. I show up, buy my toothbrush ever so casually - my pearly whites don't quite sparkle but I'm no fool without a glamorous smile. Last one got old. Apparently th...

\*Truthfully this had been the last way I expected to spend my free time today. Even less than facing another feud within my own conscience. Yet I couldn't find a reason to disagree on the plan to do so, especially with the fervid noise that came from my greatest allies'—and friends—excitement. Not that I wanted to—or could for that matter. Between Tabatha's impatient moaning, and Roberto's urgent ushering there was no room to oppose. Illyana and Rahne had both been packing the back of our mandated X-Jeep that we acquired by means less-than-permited by faculty but with higher moral grounds than stealing. We had enough to last us what would feel like forever if need...

While at a vegetarian restaurant (Keiai Vegan & Vegetarian Chinese Food) I noticed a booklet listing similar restaurants in the Hiroshima/Western Honshu region. Apparently there is an official effort to compile such a list and the following pdf is the result: [https://wwwtb.mlit.go.jp/chugoku/content/000347179.pdf](https://wwwtb.mlit.go.jp/chugoku/content/000347179.pdf) (Keiai is the first in the list) There's one for Muslim-friendly restaurants as well [https://wwwtb.mlit.go.jp/chugoku/content/000161672.pdf](https://wwwtb.mlit.go.jp/chugoku/content/000161672.pdf) \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Here are a few vegetarian restaurants I encountered during my recent trip that I thought ...

Have you ever played undertale or any rpg before? Well i have and i gotta say this might be an overpowered CT (depending on if you use it). Abilities: 1. Respawn: You get 3 lives inbetween sleep (the sleep has to be at least an hour long) and if you die you lose a life and go back to right after you woke up. 2. Level up/Attributes: like in every RPG you can level up and have a set amount of attributes you can choose to level up (or get leveled up automatically). If you gain enough EXP you level up but if you cant decide then you can hold onto your lvl points for 24 hours before they are automatically chosen at random for you. Some of these attributes might increase your damage resis...

First of all, I want to make it clear that activism and making voice themselves are definitely not problematic things. They are fundamental for making better society. Also, ideologies I will mention below are not bad things by themselves. However, there are people who are doing it in totally wrong ways. I will take some examples I witnessed. 1. Some radical vegans. I don’t **** people for being vegan. I know that a lot of vegans and vegetarians are people who are just doing what they think it is good for society and themselves, without forcing others to follow them. Their beliefs should be respected, and it is unjust to discriminate them. However, I found out that some people are not lik...

**The results are in for Match 1. The winner is…** One way or another, everything was coated in a shade of red. Blood mingled with highlights until everything in that wretched place was indistinguishable. Two ferocious hunters, stumbling around on the brink of death, trudged through the ever-growing piles of rubble to find their mark. Their ears rang, their heads spun, their eyes watered. Their bodies just barely held on, engines spinning until they broke themselves apart under their own continued existence. “Hahhh--- Hahhh--- I may not be- hahhh- able to see you… but I can *hear* you… I can ***smell*** you…” Tracy panted, the sharp scraping of her knife echoing through the h...

I was looking for this specific tool for quite a while now. Searched for it in ingco flagship store, it was sold out and the price was less than 9k then I saw it available in this store but the price is just ridiculous. I way better off buying from dewalt for that price

A lot of hygiene advice tends to focus on the basics like showering regularly, brushing teeth, and washing hands. But I’m more curious about the smaller, less obvious habits that people don’t usually think about, things that seem minor or easy to ignore, but actually have a noticeable impact on cleanliness, odor, skin health, or overall well-being over time. For instance, I’ve noticed how often items that touch our bodies daily get overlooked, like phones, pillowcases, earbuds, or even things like keyboards and steering wheels. They don’t always *look* dirty, so they’re easy to forget about, but they can quietly collect oils, sweat, and bacteria. Another example is properly dryin...

**Carb cycling beats keto for sustainable weight loss because it keeps your metabolism flexible, preserves muscle mass, and lets you eat carbs on training days so you actually stick with it. Keto works faster in the first two weeks due to water loss, but long-term fat loss results at the 6-month mark are nearly identical, and dropout rates on keto sit around 60-70%. Carb cycling gives you the metabolic benefits of low-carb eating without the hormonal crashes, thyroid slowdown, or social isolation that make keto unsustainable for most people.** People picking between these two diets are comparing them like iPhone versus Android. One has to be "the best." I spent 15 years watching c...

I have been struggling for years to get some bare spots to fill in. This year I went all in got an aerator some compost to top dress. And bought ryan knorr seed (i know i can buy it direct from his distributor now). I am so pleased with the germination rate of his kbg rye blend compared to the scotts and penningtons i have been getting from the big box stores. Im confident its the quality of his seed because the power company had to dig a few holes in my yard after I ordered seed and I got some of the Pennsylvania blend to top those as full seeding those areas wasn't in my calculations for the overseed. I did all the work in the same day and the big box seed isn't even trying for...

I have a $200 adidas gift card from a warranty on some cleats. I probably won’t get new boots for now, and want to settle on some Adidas shoes. I am getting far more into running because I am in the process of enlisting in the US Air Force so getting my 1.5 mile fitness and time down is priority. Grey/dark colorways are heavily preferred. I just need 1 shoe that can handle my everyday running that has plenty of padding and is good for that 2-5 mile runs. My only experience is my 2 pairs of Nike winflo 11’s that I got at the outlet store for $50/ea. they have decent padding but less in the front, and I think I am more of a midfoot/forefoot striker. If it helps, I may be going to fleet f...
