i was planning on staining this table with a darker finish like walnut....what do u guys think? kinda digging how it looks rn, this is my tea tray and matcha shelf on top

i finished my table!!! it's a standing table for making tea

i got my hand on some chinese matcha....surprisingly pretty decent! it was a very thoughtful gift from a friend and i'm looking forward to drinking this every day

luving my new job and all the snacks

over the past 12 months my partner has been making an indie game about a degen IRL twitch streamer, pls check it out its him and two other ppl that have been working on this nonstop on the side. a lot of hard work went into it!! store.steampowered.com/app/3632890/...

bluesky employee don't say anything crazy for one day challenge (IMPOSSIBLE EDITION)

i want to feel proud of what i work on, but more importantly i want to be proud of the team i'm working with. a company doubling down on a decision i personally disagree with would really kill all joy for me

ruin the friendship is the best song on the tswift album, and its also rly sad

many malasada of kauai

can the Chief Technical Officer of Bluesky stop replying to people arguing about moderation practices, a thing that is NOT HIS JOB and reply to my github issue about every video on this godforsaken platform having an audio glitch in the last three seconds which IS HIS JOB

i dont understand people who hate traveling. it makes no sense to me

eric txting w a crazy view

kinda felt like eating poke at the edge of the world

waimea canyon was crazy

kauai is awesome

Never been more obvious how much you need to hire for this role. You guys all suck shit at PR and Comms.

　 . ★⋆. ALBUM RELEASE . ★⋆. stutter is out now ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ 🖇️ ⋆｡「 linktr.ee/laryssaokada 」 this record is a reflection of my innermost thoughts & pains over this past year. my god it's been a long one. but despite the world's horrors, we must persevere & create art. we must maintain our whimsy!

first full week at work ✅

has anyone used cueDB for video game music cues? curious if there's anything beneficial there for game dev

can someone explain what this GDC new era thing means? the pamphlet just read like a bunch of words

ugh so close to being done but i fucked up and mismeasured the tabletop

i started as a Music Lead at ArenaNet this week! it was tough to say goodbye to the freelance life, but my new team is such a great group that i feel very lucky to work with. i will miss my clients dearly!!

i hate sanding

thinking about taking on a couple of mentees for music design. i don't know how it'd work or what to do yet, but it'd be good to focus some of my energy on uplifting a new round of talent

finished the mortise and i didnt mess up!

there are a couple composer agents i will never wanna work with and i'd probably tell their clients to find new representation. in the digital age of DIY business and AI, i really see no reason why anyone would want to put up w the difficult middlemen 🤷‍♀️

marblophone! free download, mac/pc. tapesclub.itch.io/marblophone i’ve demoed this at a couple conferences but happy to finally release a build (uses the #unrealengine motion graphics tools, so wasn’t possible until 5.6). try it out and lemme know what you think 🥂

how do you all feel about the game audio survey results? what about the salary portion? curious what you all think. historically im floating somewhere in the female/nb median, but my freelance rates are taxed a bit differently so hard to really compare it 1:1

i wish Chief of War had more acoustic elements in the score. having ONLY indigenous instruments/hawaiian soloists without any of the western instrumentation wouldve been way more impactful and unique. a percussive, acoustic score that builds intensity and drama without "booms"

glued some boards for my tabletop today

did a lowkey matcha pop-up with some of my keyboard friends! our gracious host organized a magic draft and t was so cute and the host made some amazing pastries

made a menu for a matcha pop-up i'm doing!!

there was something so broken about how my last job did performance feedback. always a combination of "you're not doing enough", "you did it but we need to see you do it more", "you're not technical enough", and generally operating from an overly critical perspective

me love unreal

1 yr anniversary of getting laid off from bungie! turns out it was one of the best things to happen to me

that team and company failed me, in multiple ways over a long period of time. i know how i was treated was not indicative of my skill nor the respect i deserved. but i really was not treated like i knew what i was doing. 1 year later from being laid off - turns out, i do know what i'm doing!

just thought of this and i still maintain that telling someone to read the Wwise 201 test materials as performance review feedback... is some condescending shit. but it happened to me!

how do i tell people to stop blind emailing me for licensing/sync requests? they don't read what i actually do (i'm sure they're just emailing all "music supervisors") but i don't want to give myself a different job title bc of it. i want to reclaim music supervisor for the vague title it is

took my first woodworking class this weekend

yay our talk "Music Design, Defined and Evolved" got accepted to GameSoundCon!!

@nadiaudio.bsky.social I saw that Rode has a signature series of their NT-1 microphone in multiple colors including pink and thought of you! rode.com/en-us/produc...

anyone know why my cat has been chewing on this bag every night for weeks on end? he licks it too

if you were a composer, would you appreciate the feedback that your agent is really hard to work with and it might be losing you gigs

SCIENCE FRIENDS: i am looking for a solution to cool down a terrarium enclosure. i need some type of cooling system to drop my tank's temperature around 10~ degrees at night. what about using a cpu cooler/coolant piping? would something like that efficiently cool a terrarium from 90F to around 78F?

happy fri!!

happy monday!!

a local piano shop has this beauty and it was MADE FOR ME!!!!! 😭

happy sunday!!!

im writing documentation with the idea that i'll eventually be training my own employees, and it's wild how much WORK and TIME this takes. everyone should be doing this - basic steps to go over your work, your high level goals, your overall quality expectations. why dont more ppl do this?!

matching!!!
