I'm so sad I can't be at magfest this year and see you all. If anyone wants to catch up digitally though, or if anyone going wants to talk when you get back, please let me know! I'm really trying to be more social this year and its surprsingly difficult.

@thegamebrass.com and I created two amazing cover albums where we replaced EVERY track in the game with newly-imagined brass arrangements... and then modded our versions into the game itself. We'll be talking about how we did this at MAGFest this Saturday!

Why is Jira so dramatic? The comment was from the end of December. Do you really need to label it as being from "last year"

TL;DR I am looking for a vocalist. Any shares or tags are greatly appreciated

That feeling when someone brings up one of *your* topics, and the doors in your mind are desperately trying to contain the torrent of words that want to come flooding out.

So awesome seeing Nocturne on this list! It's been amazing seeing people hyped for it!

Bald Chika isn't real. Bald Chika can't hurt you.

A few months ago I made a concerted effort to change my Instagram feed by spending a few minutes every morning exploring cool art and following artists I like. Now my feed is mostly beautiful art and it actually makes me enjoy scrolling.

I sent my sister a picture of a sable and now my entire feed is pictures of long mammals. I'm here for it.

This year I decided on three career goals for myself because I really do find putting them out into the world helpful. I'm super thrilled that I was able to do a couple of VTuber commissions since, and hope I am able to do more next year! As well as continuing to work towards my other goals.

I finished Kemono Teatime earlier and I just continually keep thinking about it. I feel like its going to be one of those games that sticks with me and just keeps popping into the forefront of my thoughts randomly.

This is the last release I wanted to highlight. Originally my plan was to write a full yuri album, but I realized if I held out for that, I would never release anything. Instead, I wound up with this piece that I really really enjoyed writing. So happy with the story it tells. youtu.be/4UJMBmTXObE

Another project I'm super proud of was my Apothecary Diaries arrangement. This is my biggest arrangement to date in terms of number of musicians, and I'm just so happy with how it turned out. I'd always wanted to do something with wind ensemble and this just made me so happy. youtu.be/qfVNZs1fxX8

I think one thing that continuously breaks my mind is how invisibly perfect really great music production is. It adds miles of depth to a song all while trying to appear like its doing nothing.

I also am incredibly proud of the first @vizakethla.bsky.social release. I learned a TON putting together this song, and had soooo much fun. She actually has a couple more songs in the works, so keep an eye out next year. I might be biased, but they are 🔥🔥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpwy...

I just learned about . in XIV, and I wonder if the devs feel like cat owners do when they buy a fancy new toy for them, but they only want to play with the ripped piece of cardboard packaging.

One thing notably absent from this year in review post is Nocturne. I have been working on the game nearly every day for the past few years, and I can hardly believe that in just six months, it'll finally be out. Seeing all of the love and support its been getting this year has been incredible.

You know those liminal spaces where rooms will randomly move, and hallways will connect to things in impossible spaces? Sometimes that is what Jira feels like to me.

I don't understand how people can operate with a personality formed through hating things. It seems like such a waste of energy when you can just focus on the things you love.

While this year has certainly had its share of ups and downs, I'm still so proud of the work I was able to do. I'm incredibly thankful for everyone who trusts me enough to work with me, and for all of you who took the time to listen. I can't believe making cool stuff is a thing that I get to do.

After this new episode I am SOOOOO curious where Digital Circus is going to go with the episodes left. There are some threads that seem pretty likely, but a lot of the rest of it, I'm so intrigued about

to celebrate dirtbag MAHJONG hitting 500 copies sold, we're doing a little giveaway! we're going to be giving out 5 copies of the game at 11pm GMT on the 17th! to enter, just: - follow this account - and repost this further - no mahjong needed you can check the game out here! s.team/a/3488460/

This has to be one of my new favorite dialogue choices ever

I swear, every time I'm mixing drums, I'm always most inconsistent about the kick. Every time I think I'm happy with it, I'll come back later and it'll sound awful again.

I have heard about seat fillers at big events, but why don't they just have cats around? There would never be an empty chair after someone gets up.

I found a random YouTube channel with 2.6k, 30-40 min long videos all with no views. They all seem to just be random cctv footage in various locations. The channel title translates to "to you who persevere." I am convinced if I watch all of them I will slowly unravel a huge mystery piece by piece.

Thank you all for putting up with my tsundere marketing strategy. Next month maybe I'll try chuuni

Did you know it's Bandcamp Friday and 100% of sales goes to the artist? Don't get the wrong idea, I was just asking if you knew. It's not like I want you to buy something or anything. Stupid. jeffpenny.bandcamp.com

I guess if you wanted to check out my new soundtrack for @dirtbag-mahjong.bsky.social, I couldn't stop you. D-d-dummy!!

a reminder that i am contracted but still looking for full-time work! i have a newly-revamped resume and come very highly recommended. if you're going to have an opening on your team for an art/cine producer with a passion for sustainable pipelines in 2026, i'd love to hear about it.

Can't even express how happy it makes me seeing people engage with music I wrote. Every single dance, hum, comment, and purchase the @dirtbag-mahjong.bsky.social music has been getting literally mean the world to me. Seeing people resonate with something you made is just the coolest. Thank you all.

I'm having another of those moments where the music from Guilty Gear is really making me wish I played

How long did my post turkey nap last?!

I used to make a whole long list of people that I would message this time of year to tell them I am thankful for them, but at a certain point it got too stressful and I stopped doing it. But please just know, that if you have been a part of my life at all, I am thankful for you
