My ambient album, Arms of Moss, is out on Bandcamp!

I wanted to make music for people to create art to. I've made game music for 13 years, but this is my first album that’s just mine. Please listen to it while making something cool!

Think it goes without saying how we feel about genAI and the kinds of people pushing it.
Screencap of Drywall Eating Simulator, a tech bro at a desk is talking to the player saying "Honestly I'm kinda scared to try doing anything without asking AI if it's ok." Tech bro again, saying "Before AI I used to do this with my mom and now I stopped calling my mom."

Hey goths, I know this month is hard. I just wanted to say, I know that's not a Halloween shirt. I know that's just a regular shirt you wear all the time. 🖤

It is always correct to bully Waymos. Waymos will submit if you just drive at them, chicken style. You don't even have to get close. You can just do it for fun but today I forced it to stop so pedestrians could cross. I just turned like I was gonna drive into it before stopping on my side

The trend I’ve noticed with GenAI users that also happen to have talent as artists is they’ll defer tasks in other mediums they subconsciously deem “below” them to GenAI.

“I’m an artist. Let’s just throw AI music so we don’t have to pay for it.”
“I’m a musician, let’s make AI album art.”

Etc. etc.

💥Record Your Own Source Material💥whenever possible. If you are over reliant on sound libraries, genAI is gonna leak into your work sooner or later.
I've seen shit like "Cups and Plates Sounds"? is digging thru all that really faster/better than recording it yourself?

VILE: Exhumed, which was banned very shortly before its scheduled Steam release, has been released for free online, including on Github and the Internet Archive. Cara's statement, per the IA page:
VILE: Exhumed is a game about searching through an old computer, uncovering dark secrets, and experiencing the horrors of parasocial obsession and misogyny. There are references to sexual assault and violence against women, as well as depictions of gore – this was never a secret. This was the point. It was intended to be released for sale on July 22, 2025 on Steam – the largest video game storefront in the world. Instead, it was removed from Steam and banned for sale. VILE: Exhumed was not banned for its use of gore, or its intense themes – themes that are sensitive but many players related to – it was wrongfully banned for “sexual content with depictions of real people.” The game covers topics of assault, abuse, and entitlement, and uses a combination of FMV and practical effects to create images as horrifying as the themes. This was never a secret. There are a lot of intense visuals in VILE: Exhumed, but there is no uncensored nudity, no depictions of sex acts, and no pornography whatsoever – which is one of the justifications bad actors are using right now to censor games. What this actually results in is taking power and storytelling away from women, other marginalized artists, and ultimately, from everyone. This censorship of my work is a direct attack on creative expression and artistic freedom, and it will not stop with false accusations of sexual content. They will come for anything that speaks more loudly than they do. By giving the game away, for free, to whoever wants to play it, I am doing the same thing I set out to do when I started working on VILE: Exhumed, a game about sexual assault, male entitlement, and misogyny. Taking back my agency. No one is allowed to dictate what kind of horror is acceptable, or what stories are allowed to be told. VILE: Exhumed is now available to download for free as shareware under a CC BY-NC-ND license through a few different methods on this page. This felt like the best option to make the game available to …

(Spoilers I guess lol) One of the things we didn't really talk about, which honestly was my favorite part of the game that I was amazed we managed to pull off, was the final level entering "cyberspace" where we fit in 3 different retro computer aesthetics in.
