The pocket operator synths are great! They get pretty good volume despite being the size of a calculator, and you can chain them together and sync them that way. Sound variety is impressive and quality is great. The Robot and the Arcade in particular work great together with the Arcade handling the backing track and the Robot doing the melody live. Definitely going to be making music with these! Here's the link for those interested: https://teenage.engineering/products/po I honestly love that they're metal. It feels like it's somehow more intimate with the hardware without a case? I don't know how else to put it, hopefully that makes sense. Doing okay today. A lot of anxiety lately because we're heading towards a psych evaluation for the autism diagnosis and as much as it'll help, anything psychiatry is is terrifying to us thanks to bad past experiences. We keep worrying about it. It'll probably go fine and be alright, but there are one or two things we're nervous about because of the good ol' fear of judgement. Otherwise pretty alright. Did some Vim customizing and tried some plugins; vim-airline is nice. Think we're keeping that one. Kind of in a weird mental state again with things not feeling real. It'll pass, just have to keep doing things and moving forward. Definitely not going out for a walk like this though. I don't want to feel like I'm teleporting every block or two because the memories aren't being stored or something. It's trippy and scary and uncomfortable. So home we stay. Maybe we'll work on music some more. That's always fun.
