I've been challenged to write a country song for day 2. 😬 We'll see how this goes!

Starting another song a day challenge for the next 5 days. Pray for me.

I HIT A NEW GOAL IN MY JAPANESE LEARNING!~ I'm at the point now where I can kinda think about some things & plan in Japanese. Not needing to say it out loud to work through the meaning. Maybe it's not massive, but it feels big to me! 💚

I've learned recently that my version of locking in usually has me staying up 30+ hours. Is it healthy? No. Was it effective? Absolutely.

If I could learn how people are able to master placement for vocals on the fly, I'd be unstoppable.

I recently tried a Song-A-Day Songwriter Challenge. The goal was to complete 30 days, but due to some medical issues, it ended up being only 10... THAT BEING SAID, I see this as nothing but an absolute win. Truly, I think I unlocked a new level by doing this & I plan to do it again in the future.

No one tells you how much personal & emotional growth hurts. Like yes it's mostly good because you are becoming better & understanding yourself better..... But why does it have to hurt so much? 😭

When I say I'm kicking my feet & screaming, This is what I mean.

My vocabulary is at MINIMUM 10% things I used to say as a joke until they breached containment. 😂 The meme brain rot is too strong.

Working on finishing some Alt Rock songs that I'm very excited for! But.... My heart yearns to make 90's/00's princess pop/R&B.

Like, you're telling me I met some of the most incredible people in my life on a random Tuesday? I didn't even have to plan for it? I wrote one of my favorite recent songs on a random Friday? I made a personal breakthrough on a random Sunday? It's so.... Liberating.

One lesson that I'm trying to internalize lately, is that it's the random days that make the difference. You can spend hours, weeks, months planning for specific days to be special but 9/10 times, the truly special stuff just happens on a day you wouldn't expect or plan on.

PayPal me one dollar and I will send you an idea. Five dollars and you get to tell me what the idea is about. Ten dollars and the idea won’t be terrible. Please. I have so many ideas

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Indie games aren't even indie games anymore dawg. Between this and Expedition 33, AAA wishes it had this much depth and polish

This just makes me feel miserable. Dan said it perfectly, spiritual death.

I thought the eventual collapse of the trucking industry was going to be driverless cars in 10-20 years. Little did past me know. People really don't realize that the collapse of trucking is the collapse of multiple industries.

Disclaimer: I'm not defending the practice BUT Pretty much every store front & company has been saying this for years. It feels weird that we are suddenly getting mad at Ubisoft for the practice when they are far from the progenitor of it.

I know we're all mad about the Switch 2 thing today, but uh, this isn't gonna be any better on any platform: www.ign.com/articles/esa...

BUNGIE, ANNOUNCE MARATHON INFORMATION TODAY TO CLEANSE MY TIMELINE & MY LIFE IS YOURS!

If they don't love me the way Sakurai loves Kirby, i don't want it.

Neil, you wrote the last of us part 2. How the fuck do believe this?? Lmao

Wait so you can make incredible media with sustainable budgets??? Someone tell the C-suite!

These were all American devs. This is your warning that American Game Dev as we know it is dying. Why would China continue to outsource work to us when they are starting to get senior devs locally with 10+ years of experience on Multi-billion dollar franchises?

At this point, why not

Since we all love worm

Indiana Jones time! Starship game club that I only have 14 days left to beat. twitch.tv/esfjord

This year is already off to such an interesting start for me. If you told me I'd be working on a Survivor bullet hell game while making a dancey pop rock song in the year 2025, I wouldn't believe you.

My GOAT's are back.

anyway

Working on a Rock song right now but my heart yearns to make pretty princess 90's/00's pop.

Proud to participate in the Women Led Game steam fest organised by @womenledgames.com once again I have the pleasure of collaborating with other incredible VN dev, all very creative and impressive women ❤️💪 bit.ly/4f3O89D

More reasons (if you needed them) to never use Unity.

Damn, this place is really starting to pop off the past few days! 😮

Sad to see this. Tequila works has done fantastic work across their titles.

Okay, so hear me out: a co-op simulator style game that takes place during the 1500s in a European monastery. Think supermarket sim but you & the crew just be translating manuscripts, eating gruel & maintaining the grounds.

I know season 2 of Arcane is cooking because my friends & I are getting into ideological arguments over it.

wrote a little diddy about my first experience with this long-running IP and got some culture in the process :) check it out over at startmenu!

for Fjord firefly from HSR! thank you!!

The amount of anti gatcha people I've seen flip with Pokemon TCG is staggering lol

As one of the people who REALLY loved Concord, I legitimately feel sad that I'll never get to play it again. Or even just glance around the galactic map, taking in the wonderful universe Firewalk made. To any Firewalkers out there reading this, know you gave this Freegunner an amazing experience.
