Mutt O'Dawg?

Obviously sold your soul to the interesting podcast industrial complex.

Congrats on realizing your goodness. to the people who are making snarky remarks about it being long... that's crazy... you guys are fiat as fuck. 🤪. Too busy waiting to get rich. Lol

Those things are super cool looking. I have no idea what they are though. Are they some kind of dab rig or something? I'm just a mostly CBD tincture sort of fellow. 😁

This one was Star Blazers. And it fits some of what you describe and might have even been it, but I feel like what you're talking about is something else I remember, but I'm not quite sure.

I knew it's not a good way to make a brand. But I've never really wanted to do that anyway. And it lets me express my mood at the time. Actually, I recently grew a beard, turned out it looks more like the one in that picture than what I remember my facial hair looking like. Our will, time comes for us all.

MEERKATS!

Who is this genius?

Allow me to present my characters avatar (no pun...)

Aye. But a salty sea dog from a Japanese anime cartoon from the 80s.

Well, first of all, he has long teeth. Secondly, he wears odd clothes. Three! Three! Ah ah ah... He has this weird counting habit.

Do at least take a quick glance at Reaper if you haven't already. It is in my opinion one of the technically finest audio programs created and I do believe there is a native Linux version. Smidge of a learning curve, but if you ask the question, can it be done? The answer is almost always, yes. reaper.fm

This is a very odd but interesting string of notes. Are you part of the CIA?

There is actually quite a bit of great audio software on Linux. Reaper is, in my opinion, a top-end DAW. And you may curl your lip at this, having seen you mention Ableton 😁, but Bitwig has a native implementation. (i'm a bitwig fan, but I'm sure if I had been using Ableton for years it would be a very hard switch even as similar as they are.) But the devil is in the smaller details for this one, and I think you mentioned your Apollo. Let me know if you want to sell it. I think you have access, therefore, to some of the best DSP available and also fabulous preamps and converters. And I know Linux is Linux, but Thunderbolt is a really weird move at this point I don't know why UAD did that. But then again, again, I personally would think I could get Thunderbolt working with Linux, but I've never tried. But it's the little stuff, the software instruments, the hardware compatibility, the plugins. And, I have occasionally given it a shot because I am a curmudgeon who believes one should be able to make great sounding stuff without every single whizbang tool and indeed you can, but you can also build a house with a rock and wooden nails. Finally, Linux's audio subsystems are some of the most convoluted software ever created by human beings. Alsa/pipewire can be configured to do just about anything and do it well that that configuration may kill you in the process. I do praise pipewire. It did take Linux audio from being something designed just for tan colored computers to something that could do anything I wanted it to do, but it's just so damn complicated.

To answer my own question, that is Luke Groman.

Definitely interesting.

In the same way that social media imitated and even replaced community... Something like an idle game replaces your drive to achieve and build and do things with an easier to achieve tap.
