I'm always impressed with good sound design--particularly foley. It really makes a world of difference to give an environment the right tone and make it an immersive scene.

to me absurdism isn't so much about looking at existential meaningless light-heartedly as it is about reconciling with the notion of it—by spitting in the face of the universe's cruel indifference and arbitrarily inventing personal meaning.

it's like aiming to live a life that you alone feel is purposeful just because you can, in spite of the will of any higher power or lack thereof that tries to rob you of it.

my personal wishlist would just be a proper homeserver and the typical home theatre stuff like a nice big screen, speakers, etc.

in a broader sense of how the ecosystem would be improved, i'd say more open source projects and solidarity in general. currently the worst, yet most common sort of piracy is people searching "watch blank online free" and clicking the shady websites full of junk ads, popups and malware just to see a shitty heavily compressed buffering version with baked in subtitles and stuff. piracy should be for the people, not for profit; lowering the amount of technical hoops you need to jump through to get to the good accessible media by having simple, free, and open tools would help a lot.

If exploring the plethora of collect-em-all ideological labels on the left helps you enrich your political understanding then go for it--but when push comes to shove--the best leftists aren't the ones who obsess over the minutia between every possible label, but the ones who move forward arm in arm with like-minded people to create a tangible positive difference where they can.

That being said my personal go-to label, especially when talking to folks who are less politically inclined, is just "socialist," because it's a bit clearer than something like "leftist" which will be interpreted by many Americans as left-wing/liberal, and also far less daunting to explain (and to understand, from an uninformed perspective) than any of the more particular and nuanced labels. To answer your initial question in the title though, you're my comrade.
