RIP Tomonobu Itagaki; he made some rad games, and he was a truly fun and compelling interview subject. I'll never forget a time when he mentioned that I'd given VF4 a higher score than DOA3, and then gave me an insanely difficult pop quiz about VF minutiae (like frame counts) that I utterly bombed

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

The actual bird nerds have long since spoken on this! The Audubon Society supports wind power as a clear net positive for bird populations and biodiversity - w/ targeted protections for a few highly threatened species in a few sensitive geographies (e.g. CA Condors).
Evergreen reminder that wind turbines are not even remotely a leading cause of human-driven bird mortality. This is classic concern trolling in the interest of fossil fuels - if they really cared about birds they'd focus on domestic cats and building glass. And what's not shown here: climate change.
Chart by Statista with data from US Fish & Wildlife Service: Annual estimated bird mortality from selected anthropogenic causes in the U.S. 

Domestic cats are by far the main killers of birds, followed by building glass collision, vehicle collision, poison, electrical lines, electrocutions and, at a small fraction of each of the above, collision with wind turbines.

This is in fact my most boomer complaint.

It’s been a busy few weeks getting our new Lynnwood group classes ready and I’m so excited!

For now… we rest. (Because puppy snuggles are part of the job, right?) 🐶✨

Your nicest mics may not record the best sounds because you won't put them in the right situations.

Inexpensive mics will get put in more interesting, exciting, or risky places to capture sounds you'd never put a nice mic in front of.
