Oof, putting this one in the starter pack with the others I think about anytime I see somebody earnestly prattling about the men’s loneliness crisis.

I am convinced in the future we will look back and realise the sheer unimaginable folly of letting a virus that can cause immune dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction in humans infect and re-infect the global population over and over again. Worse still, that we encouraged it.

I recently recorded some violin for a composer who is one of my talented video game composition classmates. Have a listen if you like folk-inspired orchestral fantasy vibes with driving strings and glittering lyre lines. www.instagram.com/reel/DR-Ixq0...

HIII Today is #BandcampFriday !! Artists get 100% of sales from any purchese made today on Bandcamp, so it's the perfect day if u wanna get any of my music :33 All RT's appreciated!! Thank youuu 🩵🩵 ponpoko.bandcamp.com

Happy Bandcamp Friday! Here's the mindmap I created as I was working out how to approach the music for In Town vs Out of Town and Day vs Night in the Badlands.

I've just released a new album in time for Bandcamp Friday (starting in 11 hours!) If you enjoy listening to rugged guitars and folk violin, check it out (I recorded them myself). annimovsisyan.bandcamp.com/album/badlands (Album art by yours truly)

I've just been recording some violin so watch this space 👀 also look at the pretty peacock sequin embroidery behind me, made by my mum (which she started when I was a kid, then paused for years, and finally finished it more recently)! ❄️🦚

I think Silksong is our best look at what video game would look like if we had UBI

Rest in Peace Alice Wong.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Whoever did the voice acting for this character did a fantastic job (i mean all the VO is perfect but I'm particularly enjoying this guy's sounds right now)

Our corporate exec Rishabh is definitely all 'vibes over policy'.

It's been a while since I shared my music, so here's some dark fantasy-style exploration and combat music I wrote this summer, ft. artwork by yours truly 😊 It's definitely inspired by my true love, the Hollow Knight OST, but also some other pieces (more info on YT!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOLE...

I'm still alive btw! I can't access my DMs on here cos of the ridiculous new UK laws that force you to upload ID, which has already backfired with people having their passport or driving license details stolen by 3rd parties. DM me on IG or email me (see my contact info in my website in my linktree)

This talk about Defensora Shihua showcases how a video game can transform entertainment into concrete environmental action. @mateuscayus.bsky.social dives into how in game progress converted to actual protected areas! #GDoCExpo2025 #gamedev

I need to play this game and I need to squish Elfie 🥹

🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars. As posted by @nowthisimpact.bsky.social

Everyone is really cool with this? This is preferable to wearing a mask and advocating for clean air?

Today's "fishing through stuff I never uploaded here"... I wrote and recorded a bit of violin for a sweet and airy dulcimer accompaniment that my tutor (Mike Worth!) made. An 🇦🇲 take on the dorian mode, especially in the first half (the descending fifths pattern at the start.. we're all about that 😌)

Re-discovering this little exploration tune I made a while ago, for a hypothetical 'Council of Frogs'. Serious decisions are made in their council sessions, on pertinent issues such as bug husbandry (bugbandry? 🤔) and swamp management. And the most important motion ruled today: you are friend 🐸

I swear I do game audio, I just have nothing I feel like showing at the moment 😂 here's some watercolour marker pen drawings of plants instead! P.S. this is the first time I've used these markers in years, so it felt like a big step to decide to use them...I've always been too precious about them!

As a big fan of Impressions Games' 1998 citybuilder Casesar III (I still haven't enjoyed other logistics games as much as that one), this video gave my brain a good buzz. youtu.be/pO9HPW5uqBg?...

I want to play a game where you can live under a huge raspberry bush

happy gay everyone 🌸☀️🌊

Started orchestrating a battle music loop after writing the sketch score recently. Just strings and snare drum at the moment. Hopefully tomorrow I'll start playing around with where flutes, trumpets and French horns could add some flair 📯

“When I wear a mask, I'm asserting that my physical health is worth protecting, as is the health of those around me. I'm asserting that I deserve clean air and safety when I step out into the world, and so does everyone else.”— Naomi @naomiekperigin.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DKUx08lOcP...

Um, guys? A glacier collapsed and buried most of the Swiss village of Blatten. Fortunately (thanks science!) the town had been evacuated a few days before but holy hell. www.bbc.com/news/article...

unions: they get the job done

It was a pleasure to speak to @togetherwemask.bsky.social on why I continue wearing masks in 2025. Read the rest of my interview with them in the links under the original post!

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

pretty rough that this has been where we've been at for over a year and it's done nothing to slow them down

A little colour study I did a while ago of my favourite little guy in one of my favourite games #HollowKnight

Also have to add that doubling down on making work on climate breakdown has felt like career suicide at times. Ive even been encouraged by people to stop talking about it & had interviews pulled. Hoping that 2025 will bring more engagement from music press on these ongoing demographic disasters.❤️‍🔥

Just finished this game and absolutely adored the moving story, relatable themes ('third culture'/immigrant kids, moving past the desire to fit in and coming to appreciate the culture your parents gave you access to), the delicious art, really cool music, and super immersive sound effects 🤩

I get when visibel white folks message me to apologize for not speaking up about the genocide in Palestine earlier/at all, but that still leaves a reality in which brown folks and minorities took all the flak for years of doing the right thing. Late is better than never, but there's more you can do.

Recently felt the urge to make a moodboard with illustrations I made and visual references I was researching in my art days of 2016-2019

Remote work was an accommodation that disabled people requested for years before the Covid pandemic It can allow someone to remain in the workforce longer When non disabled people needed it, it was arranged seemingly overnight Now it’s being ripped away from people who desperately need it. Why?

Descent into a rabbit hole in four pictures

There is so much evidence in favour of this, and simultaneously, too many AAA games have just gotten sloppy in favour of making a quick return for investors ... everyone in the industry is aware of this by now, right? This doesn't have to be a controversial take anymore right?

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

I arranged this Armenian folk song, 'Yerginkn Ambel E' ('The Sky Has Clouded') to include in the soundtrack for Lee Williams Boudakian's film 'I Am Your Ghost' (2021). If you're curious, you can learn more and listen to the rest of the soundtrack on Bandcamp (link in bio).

UK friends, there's a petition that I'd really like to see supported so that it gets discussed in Parliament. It demands better air quality & PPE standards in health & social care. It would help every one of us but needs more signatures before May 11th. Link in replies ✍️ ⤵️ 1/thread
