Values systems driving design decisions. Taking only the fun classes in college. Children as an ideal audience for storytelling. A job fair for monsters. Black people being friends with metaphors for black people. Only wanting to go to school after it's unavailable to you. Never going to museums where you live because that's what tourists do. Paying to do manual labor to entertain your infant son. Insisting on talking to babies even though they don't understand you. Not knowing who Arcade Fire is. Knowing who Arcade Fire is. Spraying guitar samples into the DAW just to fill space. Going up to strangers talking in a bar to tell them their conversation is boring. Tweeting with as much context resiliency as possible. Hearing an instrumental in the 90s and wondering about it for the rest of your life. The saddest accordion solo. A laughing baby indicating lack of cruelty. Library/production music that is just as avant garde as your personal work. Corporate contexts appropriating music that was popular 10 years ago. When the retro discount kicks in for production music. Absorbing your friend's shoegaze album into your video game. Reinventing General MIDI for your alternate timeline's soundtrack. Picking a name for your combination pinball parlor and print shop. The timeline of pinball speed. The timeline of pinball interactivity. Analog video games frustrating the speed running scene. Video game sound effects in the reality that never invented the speaker. Switching around the pneumatic tubes on your brother's Call of Duty sound setup. Sneaking into an amusement park to play the calliope. Calliope MIDI playback as an online service. Robotic percussion as an online service. Sleep studies are take-home tests now. Stopping breathing 25 times per hour. Acclimating to your Darth Vader mask. Never living to regret your bad decisions. Not being sure how to pronounce your own name.
