Music Free Static

PerlStalker, the host of @MusicFreeGaming, brings you the Music Free Static podcast. From tech to culture to self care, the Music Free Static podcast has it all! We all know that I can't stream and form coherent thoughts at the same time! Here, I can talk about all the crazy stuff I love without having to focus on a game, too.

It Works for Me - Music Free Static (068)

Do you have some things that you do that are not quite "normal" but work for you? In today's podcast, I talk about a few of those things in my life that might be a little weird but they work for me. It's okay to embrace your weird.

The recent Minecraft snapshots have had a lot of interesting ideas hidden behind experiments options. Many of them are not targeted for any specific release or any release at all. Rather they provide a way for Mojang to explore new ideas and get feedback from the community without putting the tests in the main game.

Back to nostr - Music Free Static (066)

I have a loath/hate relationship with creator/social media. Sites like X, Facebook, and Bluesky are so toxic, I can barely stand to use them. Still, such platforms can be a good way to connect with others and find people with similar interests. Or they would be if they weren't such a mess. Instead, I'm spending more time on nostr which is more about connection than contention.

I'm Obsessed - Music Free Static (065)

I get obsessed by things. Usually, the obsession passes relatively quickly but it doesn't matter. While I'm in the throws of my obsession, I dive into so much research. Currently, it's swords and DJ gear. I can't afford a new sword right now and I doubt I'm ever going to DJ anything. That doesn't stop me from obsession about them.

We Don't Need R-Rated Star Wars - Music Free Static (064)

With the success of Deadpool, there's been talk of more R-rated movies in the MCU and Star Wars. My question is "Why?" What does the inclusion of excessive profanity, nudity, and gore bring to the story? Star Wars as shown over and over again that mature stories can be told in the universe without any of the things that would make it R-rated. Does any of that R-rated nonsense improve the story?

What Do You Like in Stories? - Music Free Static (063)

I love movies and books. I wanted to talk about what I like in stories. Sometimes it's character. Sometimes it's the story. Whatever it is, it's fun to talk about.

Why Do I Like This? - Music Free Static (062)

Like everyone, I have genres if things that I like. I'm into action comedies & romcoms, EDM & dance pop, and sci-fi & fantasy. But every so often something shows up on my radar that absolutely love and I cannot say why.

In this podcast, I dive into a couple of those things that I love that falls outside my wheelhouse. I can't even explain why I like the album "Tails" by Lisa Loeb or Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom". I like them and that's okay.

The Acolyte - Music Free Static (061)

The Acolyte finished up its first season and I want to talk about it! Some of it was really interesting. Some of it didn't work for me. Overall, I enjoyed the show.

Forbidden Planet - Music Free Static (060)

In today's Really Late Movie Review, I'm going back to the 1956 classic Forbidden Planet. Forbidden Planet is one of the first real science fiction movie that I'd seen. From the mystery, the sci-fi exploration of humanity, and Robby the Robot, I love it.

It stars Leslie Nielsen, Walter Pidgeon, and Anne Francis. Nielsen and Pidgeon, especially, are excellent. Does it look campy? Yes. Is the story amazing? Absolutely.

Have you ever said something like "I don't have time for that!"? It's often a lie. You have the same amount of time as everyone else. You simply choose to allocate it differently. In today's podcast, I talk about the need to set priorities for your time.

Gaining Humility - Music Free Static (058)

I've been working on myself to try to be better prepared to apply for a potential promotion at work. A lot of what I need work on involves increasing humility and reducing pride.

Pride destroys relationships. It destroys societies. The solution to so many of the problems we face as a society is to be more humble.

Twitch Power-up Failure - Music Free Static (057)

Twitch rolled out a new feature called "Power-Ups". In theory, it's a way to help channels monetize. In practice, it takes over how streamers present things on their channels with no way to turn it off. What is Twitch thinking?

Getting Older - Music Free Static (056)

Getting older is weird. I mean, I don't feel old but I am approaching 50. Sure, arthritis sucks and I get weird pain from sleeping wrong. Still, there are some good things about getting older.
