Another month, another spicy Game Jam. It was a pleasure getting to work with the LunaMakaio team again on another project. Contributed 4 tracks to this visual novel. I also need to remember to finally get around to releasing the my pieces from all these jams @lunamakaio.itch.io

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

I've taken Panadol endlessly since I was 10 years old. I've reached levels of Autism previously unheard of. I am the creature of RFK and Trump's nightmares

The Chaotic Queer Cat sits proudly at the top of a ledge, their rainbow cloak billowing in the wind. An onlooker complains “uhg, its not even pride month.” The onlooker begins to jeer “hey loser! I identify as an attack helicop-“ but he never finished that sentence. In his eagerness to taunt, he failed to notice the cat hunker down and gulp repeatedly before barfing up jet stream of rainbow down onto him. “OH GOD!” he wails from offscreen.

Yeah, I always forget they're stuck on PS3. I last replayed them on PC, but the ports are shaky at best.

God I would love the XIII trilogy on Switch so much. Been really enjoying using it as an RPG machine and it would be amazing to replay the trilogy on the go

Time to get spooky!

Or not. Write about your favorite place.
Or an awkward moment that still haunts you to this day.

Idk. Maybe those are all still spooky.

Filmed a great new episode of my Morrowind Tamriel Rebuilt playthrough this weekend. Finally got it all edited. Starts kind of chilled and relaxed, before going off the rails into some of the most fun I've had playing the game so far #theelderscrolls #morrowind #tamrielrebuilt #playthrough

Some non-techies may be a bit confused so let me just create a thread that's a rundown for beginners on free and open source software (FOSS), FFmpeg, and why you don't need to pay for shit. (1/29)

New cover up, finally. Apologies to those that loved these vides, I know it's been a long time. Just been getting harder to get the moments to really sit down and get them done - this one honestly took all day arranging, performing, filming then editing. I hope you enjoy it
