I have 2 cats, 5 guitars and too many opinions.

Looking forward to being part of the conversation again, been a while.

What's Good?

Here it is folks, I really, really, really need your help, especially with boosting/spreading the word, so this can "escape" out of containment.

Please remember there is no algorithm boost here, so every repost counts

Thank you

My cat just jumped on top of my Xbox Series X, looked me dead in the eyes and farted INTO it

How did the Killer 7 audio team convince everyone to let that bizarre beautiful chaos happen?
games people, if you could talk to a game developer about their craft for an hour, who would it be, and what would you ask them about?

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

Something not talked about enough in creative careers is how it starts with continuous novel ideas that crystallise into experience+intuition. If you don't make that transition trusting yr honed instincts, it can feel like the well has dried up creatively but you're just looking in the wrong place

I have faint memories of how cringe and uncomfortable this kind of shit was when I was reading these mags religiously as a kid but...I FORGOT IT WAS THIS BAD.
I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

Finger cramped up from the parry button in late game Clair Obscur, what an experience though!

Hi all.

You may have seen the news that Avalanche Studios Group is reducing its workforce.

This means that some exceptionally talented audio team members will soon be looking for new opportunities.

Gladwell has always been the quintessential charlatan, using his capacity as a storyteller to worm his way into the hearts (and wallets) of bored audiences eager to hear that there's one cool trick that could unlock the truth of the world. Still, turning on trans ppl in an hour of need is a new low.

Nothing humbled me faster than me showing my niece how sound design works and her just glancing at the screen and remarking that it has too many layers and could be simplified...she had a point

Taking up Karate again in my 30s has led to the weirdest paradox of being stronger and more flexible than I ever have been, but with more spontaneous back pain than I ever anticipated.

I can do literal flying kicks and full deep squats but please don't spook me and make me turn around too fast 🥲
