I came back from Develop in Brighton looking forward to some overcast Scottish weather but it’s scorchio up here too 😅

The soundtrack to highly acclaimed platformer Astro Bot by @kcmyoung.bsky.social is now available from @fangamer.com on "PS5 white" colored vinyl: blipblop.net/fangamer-rea...

Fangamer have just released a 30 track Astro Bot OST on vinyl! It’s obviously not everything from the digital OST, but we squeezed a lot on to two discs with an emphasis on tracks that haven’t appeared on vinyl before 👍 www.fangamer.com/collections/...

It’s the first time the fan has been pulled out since we moved back to Scotland almost five years ago 🥵😆

For early stage #gameaudio folks near Brighton or attending Develop next month, Mike Ladouceur is putting together music and sound design demo derbies (public feedback sessions with professional panelists) on Wed 9th July at Brighton University - the submission deadline is Friday June 27th.

After years of cursing the PS4’s fan noise, today I finally got around to giving its innards a clean and replacing the CPU’s thermal paste. Now the kids can watch Bluey without having to turn the telly right up just to hear it above the PS4’s din 😀

It’s just over a week after the senior team left @gibiz.bsky.social and the features still haven’t been updated. Whilst this serves as a respectful mausoleum I can’t help but think that in another year the likes of Ken Levine won’t be giving interviews to the site even if it does limp on.

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

Why the **** has google docs defaulted to the controls being hidden? What absolute ****wittery is this? I haven’t been this angry at UX in a long time, ha ha 😂

This was a fun trip down memory lane with @awintory.bsky.social 😀

HELLO EVERYONE. I thought I’d try and get something happening here. Not gonna post videos this self aggrandising again but nothing wrong with bit of proof and an OTT intro just to say HI, THIS IS ACTUALLY ME.. HELLO.

Hi peeps! It's going to take me a while to find everyone again and follow back, so bear with me!:)

#gameaudio Not sure what happened while I was away but there seems to be a surge of recent activity here which I have missed since my impulse transition from X long ago. I want to follow the peeps I used to. If you see this, please connect? 😂

Looking forward to being on a panel at EGX this Saturday at 15:50 with Joris de Man, Ilan Eshkeri, Chad Cannon and Jules Hardy discussing the recently announced PlayStation The Concert tour (and more)! 😀

Storm Ashley is going for it out there 🫣

@siobhanreddy.bsky.social Hellooooo! 👋

Bluesky has been pinging me all day - I have 40 new followers. What’s going on - are folks using that Chrome extension thingy to find their X folk on Bluesky?

Astro Bot is out today! The critical reception has been stellar - I'm thrilled for Team ASOBI and proud to have contributed. Looking forward to seeing what fans make of it 😄

I’ve launched an official YouTube channel for #Arrhenius and to kick it off I’m debuting the first track of the soundtrack. Called “The White Above,” this video also serves as an introduction to the five different Heritages players can choose from when creating a character. youtu.be/ivfoN34gRyU
