Some of my favorite games I played this year (spoilers, it's mostly indie games):

Instantly subscribed @teelopes.bsky.social in case you haven't seen this yet youtu.be/iV1njjFetDI?...

Lots of friends I know are out of work. They are all super skilled, experienced, empathetic, hardworking, and have lots of titles to their names. They're people I would never ever think would have trouble finding work. The only thing separating the people working right now and those not is luck.

My eye has been twitching for the last few days, and I can't help but think of Deltarune Chapter 2

I worked on a horror game as a Senior Sound Designer! 🚪👻 Someone at GameSoundCon gave me the fantastic idea to put together a compilation video of Twitch streamers' reactions to my jump scare sound. I saved the best for last 😂

It's this Sunday, 10/26! Our official pre-GSC meetup is happening from 6–10 PM at Lawless Brewing Co. Hope to see you there 🍻🔉

I'll be at GameSoundCon in Burbank next week! Hope to see some new & familiar faces there 😄

I saw someone wearing a round Minion bag on the street. For a split second, I thought to myself, "wait why are they wearing a Soundminer bag?" 💀🤦‍♀️

Cultural appreciation does exist (although many people misuse this term) but a lot of the ways in which people “appreciate” Asian culture is blatantly fetishistic & disrespectful & i’m confident we’ve only really scratched the surface in opening up that conversation.

Squid Game Season 3 Ep 2 got me like

If anyone here is into K-Pop: Bailey Sok recently debuted in a new K-Pop group called ALLDAY PROJECT! It's so cool to see her go from being a world-class choreographer for LoL's K/DA to shining onstage as a K-Pop star ✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Pb...

We need to celebrate the Canadian gamedev scene more. Lets list out all the games we can, built at least in part by Canadian gamedevs. I'll get us started with Balatro. Now you go. #CanadianGamedev

Exciting news! I will be chatting with Game Audio Boston this Tuesday and nerding out about game audio 🤓 It's an online & FREE event. Hope to see you there!

Damnnnn I wasn't expecting to cry at the end of chapter 3 of Deltarune 😭 (just hit me so close to home)

Happy to share that I played cello on @sabirene.bsky.social's original composition, Time Capsule: A Tribute to Nintendo Consoles! Thanks so much for having me on this track Sab! Sab and I go all the way back to the VGM community & Boston days. It's always a pleasure to collab with old friends ☺️🎻

Happy Deltarune Chapter 3 & 4 Release Day! 🎵 Rude Buster from Deltarune, composed by Toby Fox #videogamemusic #vgm #cello #cover #deltarune #rudebuster #soundtrack

Even after all these years, this theme is still in my Top 5 favorite video game soundtracks 🏄‍♀️ 🎵 Taliyah, the Stoneweaver from League of Legends. Composed by Sebastien Najand #videogamemusic #vgm #cello #cover #leagueoflegends #taliyah #soundtrack #riotgames

I got the most pleasant jump scare while playing DAVE THE DIVER 🃏 (not included: me pointing at the screen like the Leonardo DiCaprio meme)

TFW you almost threw your Wii controller at the TV screen while playing Wii Sports cuz you didn't put on your wrist strap LOL 🎵 Wii Sports: Title Screen, composed by Kazumi Totaka #videogamemusic #vgm #wiisports #soundtrack #cello #cover

hello #BandcampFriday! you can pick up my new single with @milesmorkri.bsky.social + my latest album with @surasshu.com 💕 🌸 aiviwave.bandcamp.com 🦋 aivisura.bandcamp.com

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Bird photography tips, an oldie that is hopefully useful for spring migration right now.

Bravo 👏truly mesmerizing #maplestory

If you like slow & pretty cello, you'll enjoy this cover! I poured my emotions into this one. 🎵 Esfera: A Place Where Life Begins from MapleStory, composed by 김달우 #videogamemusic #vgm #maplestory #soundtrack #cello #cover

Korok: Yahaha! You found a cello cover of my forest theme. Bu-bye! 🎵 Korok Forest (Day) from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, composed by Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata #videogamemusic #vgm #zelda #tearsofthekingdom #korok #soundtrack #cello #cover

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

I could bask in the glorious string intro all day long 😭🎻 🎵 Conquest from Fire Emblem Awakening, composed by Hiroki Morishita #videogamemusic #vgm #fireemblem #conquest #cello #cover

Why play Mario Kart World when you already give the Luigi death stare IRL while passing by another car driving at 50mph on the highway

Although I haven't played a Mega Man game before, for some reason, this OST somehow feels instantly nostalgic ✨🌠 🎵 Shooting Star from Mega Man Star Force, composed by Yoshino Aoki #videogamemusic #vgm #megaman #shootingstar #cello #cover

anyway if you do want to support my music, it is ... not bandcamp friday until next month apparently but if you do buy my music on bandcamp it still supports me lol radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com

BIG thank you to @audiokinetic.bsky.social for hosting a free talk at #GameAudioGDC for Split Fiction: An Audio Breakdown!! I had a blast playing this game with my partner. Getting to learn from Philip and Joakim on how they mixed for a split-screen couch co-op game was one of my GDC highlights. 🤩

#GameAudioGDC folks with @damiankastbauer.bsky.social on an early Friday morning, recording with IRL volume RTPC & panning. Absolutely delightful!

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike is coming back to GDC next week for its SIXTH year! Last year I wrote about the challenges of mass layoffs, online harassment, and lack of funding, and #WhatAGameDevLooksLike was a little beacon of joy and celebration of how brilliant, diverse, and kind our industry can be.

Hey #gameaudio folks! If you're going to GDC, Carousel Con is happening again! This year we will be meeting on Thursday and Friday starting around 1215 at the amphitheater behind the Yerba Buena Carousel. Please come and listen to micro talks from your community! I have stickers to give away!

EARTHBLADE ~ Across the Bounds of Fate ✨now live for bandcamp friday✨ radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/album/earthb...

Again this is why you talk openly about things you like and enjoyed and feel others may like as well. Stop just sharing only what you hated cos it’s easy engagement but put the effort into sharing what is good cos it does make a difference.

Any GDC friends here?? I want to say hi to you in a couple weeks! Also come see me in @awintory.bsky.social 's Main Stage Orchestra concert on Wednesday, and @jasongravesmusic.bsky.social 's rhythm talk on Thursday :)
