Hey so it turns out voice directors are incredible important; without them, you get three different NPCs pronouncing the same key term in three distinctly different ways

And this is one of many, many, MANY reasons why no one should be allowed to have that much money

Hey everyone, I am okay. Sorry I haven't been posting a lot recently - all last week was *awful* and I am only just now sort of feeling like I've recovered.

Ducking in here to tell you that if you enjoy Soulslikes, PLAY NIOH 3. I've been mesmerized by it all day. I know some may not jive with the open world but to me this is genuinely everything I wanted Rise of Ronin to be.

Sorry sunflowers, no stream today. Am dealing with... a lot right now, and not feeling good enough to go live.

It's #ThrowbackThursday! Have an older #cover of mine that I'm still very proud of. It's a builder (pretty much all of my tracks are) so please do stick with it all the way to the end; the ending is something I am extra happy with and it's worth it! :) youtu.be/ewWhkQ32zNU?... #gamemusic #remix

If you're into deck builders with deep and strategic combat, and you also love actually good writing with some fantastic performances by the always delightful Liam O'Brien, you owe it to yourself to check out The Killing Stone. It's 25% off right now! store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/...

gods, I am exhausted today. maybe a long walk will clear my head. I need to be somewhere else for a bit

Death Stranding 3: On The Moon, starring Ryan Gosling

I'm starting to feel like I am ready to take on more work again. It's not like I'll open the doors for commissions and then get deluged by requests, but I might be able to take one or two on, if anyone wants music written for a YouTube video or other project. DMs are open. #commissions #freelance

lmao

Dutch games press is getting gutted left and right, with what was literally my childhood games news magazine Power Unlimited going down just the other day. So, a bunch of good folks decided "we'll do it ourselves". If you're Dutch, go check out Unpause! www.unpause.nl

i’ve been making stuff online for a real long time and the #1 thing you learn is that since the dawn of the internet, fuckheads will never ever not complain or nitpick about the free content you provide for them

I'm a HUGE fan of all of my fellow artists, in case I haven't said that in the last five minutes.

Sorry, Twitter screenshot. Point still stands. I gladly - proudly, even - pay my taxes. I love the fact that I am contributing to the health and welfare of everyone, not just myself. Screw individualism. We can only move forward and make a better world together, as people.

Just in case anyone hasn't heard it yet!

Chill out this weekend to the #FF6 town theme 🏡 #FinalFantasy #FFVI

We are - and have been, for a long time - learning that the wealthy can literally get away with anything. They commit crimes openly and brazenly, and aren't punished for it. They run countries into the ground and get rewarded with more money and influence. They ruin lives and get retirement packages

I wonder how many studios need to be shuttered before the high-up fucks realize that in order for them to keep making unreasonable amounts of money there needs to be people who make games

WHAT THE FUCK??? Bluepoint was the best at remakes! The DeS remake - to this day - is still the only game that truly feels Next Gen to me. Amazing on all levels. And then Sony does THIS?! I know the industry is truly fucked but I keep forgetting how overfed executives just love ruining shit

Can't stop thinking about Iron Lung. What am excellent film that was! I do not own many movies, but I'll be buying that one so I can watch it again. Genuinely so happy for Mark that he managed to make it, and that it's seen such worldwide success.

ahahahaaahahahhaha

I really enjoyed Iron Lung! I haven't played the game so I can't speak to how authentic to the source it is, but without spoiling anything, I will say that Mark really did capture an Event Horizon sort of feel very well - uncanny, claustrophobic, well acted, and quite creepy. Recommended!

Anyway I am off to watch Markiplier's horror movie at an indie cinema and that kicks ass, my life kicks ass, see y'all later <3

This 100% I have always, throughout my professional "career", utterly HATED the idea of these "hacks" and "tips" - all of them written by people with survivorship bias convinced that they have the one and only solution. They don't. They can't. Because every artist's journey is unique.

This is amazing. Chills.

Oh god, I forgot how many things I use require iLok

Hey so, lesson learned, do NOT apply OTT compression to a bus containing unedited saxophone recordings

My friend made a game about dating guns, PolyArmory: store.steampowered.com/app/4220820/... It’s totally free, which is true love right there.

After 13 years, I finally released my game! It's a cozy narrative game with light platforming, with one cute dragon! Works great on a Steamdeck; take it on the go or play on PC! So happy. I released. Onto the next project. :'''') Link - store.steampowered.com/app/893710/ #gamedev #indiedev

I have been fighting with this one commission for a while now but it is finally coming along and still on time. I'll share if and when I can!

It would be really fucking funny if it happened on Valentine's Day

If I see one more person attempting to use "disabilities" as an excuse to generate AI slop I am gonna actually crash out

Excellent point, and plenty of dumb AI defenders in the thread for you to block

Didn't advertise it because the first stream of the year after a computer wipe was predictably scuffed, but still extremely enjoyable. Just did some yapping with my partner and my wonderful little community. Next week, work (and gaming) resumes!

After 13 years of work and never giving up, I release my dream game tomorrow. :) Completely self published, as indie as it gets. Every day I put in 20 minutes, either on code, the art, or collaborating with others. I hope you enjoy it! Link - store.steampowered.com/app/893710/ Art by oct0bre

I am sometimes asked how or why I do certain things in music. The honest answer is "vibes," which sucks, but it's based in decades of experience. I know what works, but I also know what won't work *as well* or what might be interesting because it's out of left field. 1/4

oh for fuck's sake

Debatt: Vänsterpartiet måste nå de unga väljarna. Genom att driva frågor om klimat, bostäder och ungdomsjobb kan man visa väljarna att en progressiv vänsterpolitik inte bara är fullt möjlig, utan också betydligt mer önskvärd än Tidöpartiernas repressiva högerpolitik. www.flamman.se/vinn-ungdoma...

I am never going to play Void Stranger. But I am eternally grateful for its existence. I want there to be more games like it; games that do not give a single shit and just do whatever they want, regardless of whether people will like them or not.

That said - will she face literally any consequences for any of this? Of course not. The laws and rules are a sham, they're not for any of these people. They are there to be corrupted into oblivion, to justify gunning down protesters.

That Pam Bondi performance was physically hard to watch. Like, it hurt to even watch a second of it, and I made it through at least like 5 minutes of the Kavanagh debacle. What an utterly ridiculous individual. I hope Trump enjoyed that, because that was the only reason she did it. Utterly awful.

HOW are people still falling for the Alt+F4 prank /HOW/ Like maybe you fall for it once, but I just watched someone fall for it *four consecutive times*

Fascism is not - nor will it ever be - sustainable. It eats itself. That is in its very nature. They will all turn on each other.

as someone who's pitched recently I feel like the other half of the equation of megabucks live service games shutting down instantly (this does not apply to riot) is the publishing env has never been worse and so if you want more than a few mil you basically have to promise to be the next genshin

You know, aside from, like, every single awful opinion he spews, what strikes me when I occasionally listen to him talk for a few seconds is how UNLIKABLE Ben Shapiro is. Like he just sucks to listen to! His voice is like a mosquito right next to your ear, and he's just so... annoying!

Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon paying influencers $400k-$600k to post months of AI hype content. Absolutely busted, failed industry, embarrassing era www.cnbc.com/2026/02/06/g...

Age verification? I remember when the first Leisure Suit Larry asked you a bunch of questions at the start and booted you out if you didn't know the answers, because only an adult would know them

We have exactly one month to enjoy this game before Ed nerfs every single fun synergy into oblivion, removes everything "overpowered", and increases the difficulty by a factor of 5000

I love how Facebook just sometimes decides it doesn't wanna work on a specific browser and pouts until you use Chrome to log in to it, utter clown show of a website
