Iron Cthulhu Apocalypse

Best game I've played for audiobook listening has got to be any form of Tetris with the gravity shut off. Tetr.io has this inbuilt on "Zen Mode" with "Sub Zero Gravity" as an option, plus you can customize backgrounds and blocks. Ballistic.NG can be alright when slowed down, too. I've noticed, though, that when any game gets fast, I inevitably quit paying attention to the audiobook, just like when anything complicated happens. Still, without doing anything at all, its too easy to fall asleep. Very slow, near-thoughtless, constantly dopamine inducing games work best, with Tetris being the one where I'm least likely to wander from the story.

A few things:

I've requested all my albums be removed from Spotify. Since I deal with an aggregator that refuses to communicate with me for weeks, who knows if that will happen. But if you listen on Spotify, expect them to be gone eventually. See previous community post for details.

Recent US policy (Big Beautiful Bill) will probably sky-rocket my health insurance costs. I'm going to have figure it out but, for now, I'm focused on getting ICA (and other) albums into a (mostly) final form on Bandcamp prior to 2026, when the policy goes into effect. Creatively, things are slowing down. I'm going to try to get at least 2 videos out a month on this channel, though, and eventually I plan to have all GF and DOC albums on the other channels in full. I don't know if those channels will be continuing though, except perhaps very sporadic uploads.

It sucks but these problems are nothing compared to what other people are going through in the world. No complaints here, just information.

Also, if you're strapped for cash but want a Bandcamp ICA album (the finalized ones with a "circle" symbol on the cover), contact me through Bandcamp and I'll give you a free code to download it. One album request per e-mail. Thanks.

Spotify is fining artists for false positive "bot activity". In other words, if their analytic algorithm deems streaming activity "botlike", they'll fine you. And if you're with a Distributor like Tunecore, Distrokid, etc. those distributors may threaten to destroy your entire account, permanently, with a "no resurrections" clause. You can't even come back as a zombie or revenant. You're gone. No appeals process. No defense. Their bot-finding algorithm's decisions are final.

Tunecore, my aggregator, isn't letting me upload 100 song albums anymore. So to get my stuff on streaming services in a way that doesn't bug me out, I need to chop up existing albums. Problem is, I want my Bandcamp (BC) discography to be reflected in the streaming discography. Doing that means changing BC up significantly.

So here's my options:

1. Chop up the Bandcamp albums into smaller bits
2. Have different albums on streaming platforms with the same music

Unfortunately the streaming albums are never going to be as cost effective as BC albums now, because of this. But it's whatever. I assume the BC listeners are different than the Streaming listeners so maybe its not an issue? Anyway, help me out. Thanks.
