Yo, I've been cooking up 2 new songs.
A little bit of VA Proxy inspiration was involved
(or something).

The cover art was created by the incredible

Mario galaxy songs hold a place in my heart.

Personally, Rosalina's storybook theme makes me melancholic for some reason, while the Observatory theme makes me feel safe.

Yo, just wondering:
Is there going to be a casting call or are you all going to send audition stuffs to people on the mailing list (or how's it going to work)?

Me: "I'm sorry, I literally don't have anything to comm, and I'm saving money anyhow."

Them: "don't worry about money. I'll only charge half."

I'm not interested. Stop it. I said it gently but firmly once, now leave me alone or I'm blocking you (I've blocked one already)

Benjamin Tyke @benjamintyke.bsky.social · Dec 29

I'm going to say this because I feel like it's incredibly obvious:

If you're an artist who reaches out for commissions (scouting clients) and a client says "I'm not interested", please respect them and their time.

I've had not 1 but 2 different artists solicit services from me like so...

Totally, you can.

If you consume it and you like it, even if you don't play it, heck yeah.

Explain this, humankind

Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really? He comes to us every year." The second alien adds, "We invited him for cookies. What did you do?" The reporter starts to sweat. Panel 4: Both aliens pause, looking inquisitive. One alien asks, "Wait. What did you do?" All reporters sweat.

Heads up if you've got games on itch. io: You need to go into your dashboard and tag them as non-AI or they'll stop showing up in searches.

(This is generally a good thing- it's going to remove the ML- generated cruft from circulation 🤘)
