@mattcolville.bsky.social First #NetHack experience.

I believe I might be on track to catch up to #OnePiece before new episodes are released! Pretty good pacing for having started in August.

So happy to join the list of actors available at Big Mouth Voices! This international network opens up many new possibilities, and I'm excited to do more work beyond the US. My profile is still a bit of a work in progress, but please check it out! www.bigmouthvoices.com/en-US/voices...

I've never been one for visual mediums. Played music, took up acting but couldn't figure out on-camera performance, am having a lot more fun and success in voice acting. But it is always good to push that comfort zone, so here's my first ever painting on canvas. Many happy accidents occurred.

I hope everyone will check out my friend's upcoming game, "The End Of Gameplay" I've gotten a sneak peek at it, and it's a uniquely-styled statement with fun platform mechanics and plenty of variation. I'll not go farther than that, to avoid spoilers.

Makin' games n such

Here we go again! Next week will be the third #FactoryResetJam! It'll be the start of running the jam on a seasonal basis 🌷 Join us as we strip our phones back to the basics and make something new! itch.io/jam/factory-...

It is so sad to hear of Val Kilmer's passing. But also it is so like him to die on April Fool's Day. Rest in peace.

I feel like Halloween and April Fools Day have similar vibes. When designing a Haunt or a prank, you hope to deceive the audience enough to elicit an emotion without hurting them. And as the audience, the experience is better if you allow yourself to be just gullible enough for it to work.

Enjoying a day off as I prepare for a minor surgery tomorrow. Looking forward to doing a lot of work on my new VO project while I'm recovering! Very thankful for the remote opportunities I've had recently. #voiceactor #voiceacting #homestudio #voiceover

I heard there was a secret ooze It turned four turtles into dudes But you don't really care for pizza, do ya? They fought like this, Two swords, a stick A couple sai Some nunchuck tricks Those Ninja boys-a callin Cowabunga

It's funny how pleasantly intoxicating it can feel to spend time surrounded by creatives. A week at #GDC and I spent the first night home drafting ideas for a game. I am motivated to read more, to make more, and to act *even* more, but at the same time I am returned to "the grind." Alas.

A recent Genshin Impact update reveals yet another striking actor has been recast. Here is the apathy it receives in response. Shame on anyone who thinks the strike would ever “become an invalid reason” in this context. These people are fighting for AI protections. Support them.

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues. gofund.me/47306b15

Working at the potato factory, turning the crank to make the potatoes grow, a tater flew wide! Spiraling into panic, we lacked the dill pills we needed and WAA'd ourselves to death. Thank you for the game, @emmalarkins.bsky.social (With @follysoft.bsky.social ) #GDC #Epilogue

Everyone keep an eye out for this #GDC talk on YouTube!

I met Katie Chironis and told her how much I enjoyed her old blog, which she apparently had forgotten she wrote. J West met everyone in the indie sphere apparently.

GDC Monday had me up at 7 and returning to the hotel at midnight. Definitely meeting some interesting people, having lots of fun, and taking every opportunity to promote two things: J West is giving a talk on experimental games Friday at 2pm, and there is a crab fight in the park Wednesday at noon!

@writnelson.bsky.social I tried your demo, and helped the next player pick it up. I love juggling enemies by kick flipping over them! Didn't see any reps by the demo though, will you be hanging out there at some point?

GDC log: Day of the Devs was WILD. Live music, full bar, game demos everywhere. Met some folks, talked a lot, and now am ridiculously tired.

Officially registered to attend #GDC2025

@mattcolville.bsky.social watching the Adventure Brainstorming Part 2 vod and as "shadow fruit" is being discussed I keep waiting for the story of Persephone and Hades to come up

Impel Down needed a flood gate on every level. Riot? Flood. Break-in? Flood! Devil Fruit users got ya down? I hear the ocean is real useful for that. #onepiece #impeldown

Live theatre night!

Just hit the point in One Piece where the whole crew gets defeated in Sabaody, and immediately there are some "Feudal" episodes. Until the main timeline resumes, my headcanon is that Kuma slapped the crew into a filler arc.

Living on the fourth floor in California, multiple times a day I wonder if that was an earthquake or if any of my downstairs neighbors just did something stupid.

Officially removed my voice from Twitter and plan to focus more on this platform! So here's another sample from my demo, as animated by @rhaphi-draws.bsky.social

It's 2024. Race is a construct, and your Warforged is not. #D&D #D&D5e #WarforgedArePeopleToo #ShatterThis

Out n about with my #EDC. My every day canine.

If you see this, post a pic with no explanation. I don't save memes very often, so you get what you get.

I gotta mention, to anyone glued to their screens tonight hoping for the election to go one way or another, the days of 24-hour ballot counting are dead and gone. Calm your nerves as well as you can, and give it a week.

My last ballot got stolen the night I dropped it in the mailbox, so it's much later than I intended it to be but I got the notification that my new ballot reached the post office! #election #votebymail #electioninterference

Just got home from a day that started at 5am yesterday and included 3 hours of driving and nearly 5 hours of special Halloween themed D&D

None of my voice acting projects are close to release, so here's a drawing to show off my other skills. I breed frogs

WA voters, get on www.VoteWA.gov and check the status of your ballot. It’ll say your ballot was accepted once your signature has been verified. If your ballot was dropped off in a box that was lit on fire, and it’s not listed as received, contact your local county election officials!

Last week my apartment's mailbox was broken into, the morning after I dropped my ballot in the slot. Tomorrow is the deadline to get a replacement and there's no update on the status, so I'll now be a last minute voter

Lil' guy I made last night. #oc #art #clipstudiopaint #digitalart

Haven't been sleeping for a week or so, so I decided to go without coffee today and see if I can sleep any better that way. BIG MISTAKE.

Need this

I like drawing rats

Some tests I was working on, practicing and comparing methods.

And recommendations for entry level singing coaches or classes in the Rancho Cucamonga area? Alternative opinion would be online classes from anyone in the Pacific timezone

Two shortlists from my first week on a VO platform. I'll consider that a small win!

Some of the best tidepooling to be found in California!

Listening in to a meeting, and a tech leader at this company just sincerely said, "and I am looking forward to this lifetime of servitude [to AI]"

In other news, I now have geckos to go along with my cat, dog, poison dart frogs, and rainbow boa
