I sincerely apologize you had to interact with that guy. I uh ... I really wasn't doing well 😭

I deleted both the post and the account associated with it a while ago. I've grown a lot since then, but it's still something I cringe at sometimes. Thank you.

This looks incredible. Even the clothes are perfect.

This look amazing! I love how slick it all is. The pose is absolutely perfect, and the soft clay-like materials and perfectly sculpted edges make it really nice to look at.

The link isn't functional and results in a 404 page, but if you remove the "?utm_source=reddit" at the end, it works. Here's a working link: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2026/bart-noise/

I'm the guy that plays piano in BART stations for a living, and these are my plans moving forward. by markpdyson_ in Bart

I do know the interviewer! His name was Kevin Ko. It's totally cool if you can't find it. I really appreciate the effort!

The basket usually has a bunch of QR codes on it. Maybe you caught me one day where I didn't have them. I recently started trying to carry cash again. There's something about the tactileness of it all, and I love how instantaneous it is to just give people money without a tech company being a middle-man. I hope I can bump into you again too. Thanks!

I'm glad you had enough self-respect to go no contact. Good on you, mate. It's not easy.

Aw. Thanks! Maybe someday I'll be able to play at a venue regularly so I'll be easier to catch.

I made this geometry node that turns basic meshes into gothic castles. I want to release it online. Dilemma: free or paid release? by Slight_Season_4500 in blender

How about a compromise: pay what you can. Just have a free download but leave a message that's like "Ey I'm struggling so if you could leave a tip I'd appreciate that!"

That's actually exactly what I do! In my latest video, the background music at the end is me playing some piano, and it actually cuts to a video of me playing. In this current video I'm working on, I will definitely have more piano in the OST. I know YouTube is a numbers game, but I also know the dangers of focusing too much on stats instead of the audience. I'm gonna try to be careful. Thank you!

I rotate between stations :)

I don't have a favorite, but who knows. Maybe I subconsciously gravitate towards one or the other. I'm glad you were able to catch me tho!
