Here's an old diagram of the Unreal Audio Engine I made a while back. It's since changed, but most of it is still accurate:

Inside me there are two wolves and they’re named Williams.

Inside me there are two Williams?

Things are getting tense between me and Google search.
The image shows a search question "when did sandwiches become popular in the us" with Google responding "Did you mean: when did sandwiches became popular in the us" with an emphasis on "became."

Not being glib, just constantly reminded of this.
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

A long, long time ago, I used to teach game audio. Including the Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine.

This is how students were greeted on test day.
A white board with "Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine Test of Doom Today!" written on it.

Not sure if you saw this, @nadiaudio.bsky.social, but Audio-Scape recently sold a pink variant of a Pultec Passive Tube EQ clone for Breast Cancer Research!

I had a hard time with early Clone Wars but the later seasons were pretty solid; Rebels was great!

Looking forward to live-action Rebels (aka Ahsoka).

Looking forward to live-action Chopper!
