My wife just asked me if I think cats could drive cars like rats drive cars and I think that question broke me

I guess I'm not ready to come back into the world yet. Maybe soon though.

We're just a video game music community. Chill out. #woke2010 :-D

The world lost an absolute legend. Rest in power, Sam Neill.

Fun fact many here don't know about me: I'm a theme park enthusiast, with a particular affinity for Disney World. As I've pretty much decided that the main thing I want to do for the rest of my life is take as many theme park trips as possible, you'll likely see a lot more of that from now on.

I have been really vibing with this song on so many levels recently

Any of my moots still play Guild Wars 2 and is in an active guild? I'm getting back into it again (a kind of exposure therapy) after not playing since End of Dragons, and my old guild has long since died off, but I don't wanna join just any old random guild that's recruiting in Queensdale or LA.

Might be pretty distant for a bit, have some personal stuff that needs taken care of. It's complicated. Sorry to anyone hoping I'd get going on that FPS remix album. It's still happening! Just gotta take care of me and my family first before I really jump in to something like that.

When I was a young lad in high school, I was 100% convinced that I wanted to work in game dev. Life came at me fast and things didn't pan out like that, but honestly, kinda feel like I dodged a bullet. Game dev is an absolute hellscape rn and the people navigating it are braver than the troops.

Happy anniversary to the blue blur, Sonic the Hedgehog! 🥳 One of the first things I released as part of the VGM scene was a punk rock remix EP of Sonic remixes: kngi.org/dusk/ Also, here's a metal cover of one of my favorite tracks from my favorite game. youtu.be/GU7czyHUvAk?...

if you're not in the know, hourences leaving epic is the reddest red flag of all time

We've lost an absolute legend today. Rest in power, Bobby Prince.

It all starts VERY SOON!

A friend with benefits from the United States, call that a

What is the greatest single-player first-person shooter of all time, and why is it Half-Life 2?

Pokémon GO Fest was a blast!

Another Throwback Thursday? I've been playing a lot of Battlefield 6 recently and remembered the BF3 metal remix I put together 14(!) years ago. Still one of my favorite fade-outs.

I found a pizza place that makes pizzas that taste almost exactly like the options from Daisy's Pies on the Disney Wish/Treasure and I'm VERY excited about this development

Hey just a heads up, your hands will probably hurt for a couple of hours some time after a cortisone injection. Just in case your ortho doesn't tell you. Because he didn't tell me. 😠

This might be the funniest video I've ever made

Happy Pride Month from this neptunic metalhead! Give your queer friends as much support as you can this month -- and every other month, for that matter. We're living in an age where fascist attacks against queer people are the highest they've been since the middle of the last century.

Happy Pride from a local ace!! 🖤 🩶 🤍 💜 We stand for the LGBTQIA+ community however we can You all deserve safety and rights

Reminder that rainwave.cc is the best online video game radio ever. The OCRemix section specifically never stops being awesome.

Update: Cat being sick slowed this down, but I'm *definitely* gonna do this. Even have a source chosen for a remix. :3 Keep an eye out here, on the @ocremix.org Discord, and the forums over there for more info soon!

Another throwback Thursday? A few people followed me recently so y'all might not have seen this the last time I shared it. Here's an original track that I did for the now-vaporware Unreal Tournament game Epic was working on just before Fortnite got real big. Still really proud of this one 🤘

Update: He's okay! He just had an abcess in a very bad spot. Thanks to everyone who sent good vibes!

It's a big experiment for HIM, cuz he can afford to make that experiment. But to those trying to find work in a gutted industry right now? Who looked up to people like Jorge? They can't. And ventures like this would only afford them less opportunities in the future.

Something has been going on with my precious baby Kwazii for the last few days. I hope it's just arthritis or some temporary illness, but I'm extremely worried. Send good vibes, I really can't lose him right now

If you have a Creative Cloud subscription, they created "Creative Cloud Pro" for AI usage- more expensive than standard- and added you automatically. check your subscriptions immediately. And even after you catch it, it's massively obscured on how to fix it. So I made a guide. Should be illegal

Was not honestly expecting nowhere near this kind of response for an out-of-nowhere idea I got only a couple of days ago 😮 Gonna need some help to get the ball rolling because I've been out of the VGM community loop for a *while*, but I think this is gonna happen. Gonna reach out to y'all very soon

Kinda kicking around the idea of directing a metal album of first-person shooter remixes for @ocremix.org. Do I know anyone that would be down to make remixes for that?

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

🎂 HAPPY 33rd BIRTHDAY to the Star Fox franchise! (Originally out on the SNES in 1993!) Our 81st FREE community VGM arrangement album, Star Fox: Double Wing Damage, is now available! 🔥 🦊 2+ hours, 6 games, 30 tracks, 37 musicians! (NOT genAI music/art, no thanks!) 💿 DOWNLOAD: starfox.ocremix.org

Is Throwback Thursday still a thing? Anyway, here's an old synth/metal medley remix I did of music from the original Pokémon games, featured on @ocremix.org's Legacy: Game Boy 25th Anniversary album (which you can find here: gameboy25.ocremix.org)

Man I Love First-person shooters

Full disclosure: The last few years in particular did a real number on me mentally, more than I've let on, and I've been keeping to myself almost entirely while I deal with it -- largely because of how many people decided to abandon me (or worse) when I was more open about my trauma and depression.

Took a vacation to New York recently

Sorry to anyone that might've been hoping for new music or were looking to collab, but I'm extending my music hiatus. I was planning on getting back into the swing of things this month, but a couple of health concerns have arisen and one of those issues affects my ability to play guitar.

My wife goes all-in when handling our stateroom doors on Disney cruises

Your periodic reminder that if you're looking for an amazing punk album with zero skips, it's Supporting Caste by Propagandhi

To all the people finding this old "Sonic Boom" remix to get hype for Sonic 4: Thank you, glad you're vibing with it! Also, to all the people finding this old "Sonic Boom" remix to get hype for Sonic 4: It was 13 years ago, and my music is definitely better now.

Had an amazing time for my 40th at Disney World and the Bahamas. This really does feel like the start of a new chapter in my life -- one where I am beholden to nobody but myself and those who genuinely care about me. Rediscovering my muse, one day at a time.

New remix at @ocremix.org! Here's a symphonic metal take on "Down by the River" from Baldur's Gate III, originally composed by Borislav Slavov. This one features the amazing @arianem.com on vocals!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I'm still on a mental break from everything including social media, and honestly, it's been pretty nice. For now, I'm enjoying Christmas with a renewed focus on my friends, family, and all the happiness I can find today. Here's hoping your holiday season is just as warm!

I've come to the realization that social media has been doing me way more harm than good, so I'm taking a social media detox break for the next couple of months. Maybe longer. I'll be back to hype up a new release when it happens, but other than that, I won't be online. Take care of each other.

This is the first time I'm hearing the Dire Dire Docks remix from the Mario Kart World soundtrack and I'm literally fighting back tears, this is so good
