Do you remember when games had jingles when you hit the start button? Like, in Silent Hill, or how the resident evil man says RESIDENT EEVIIIL?

We stopped doing it and I hate that this tradition is gone. I miss it so much, I put it in Wanderstop, a game I worked on.

Last year I spent a wonderful hour with Lena Raine (@lena.fyi) crouched down in the corner of a jam-packed showroom to talk about RPGs, music, and how hard it is to make a game:

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

Let’s change gears. Do some good

Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

fwiw: game music, especially music that comes from a place of deep respect for fan communities as part of its creation, deserves to live in conversation with each other & not locked down behind a gate. that's always been my stance on the things i have copyright control over. in case it wasn't clear.

I keep forgetting new iOS and macOS went straight to version 26 (after being on 18 and 15 respectively) and now whenever I see something like "iOS 26" I have to sort out my brain remembering what the hell is going on. XD

Realized that I do not like posting on YouTube! At least frequently. So I'll probably show off musical doodles here instead and save things like YT and BC for big releases, like game music or things I think of as more fully fleshed out. 🎶

Happy pride folks

I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team.

We have always been here.
