Watching the Project Sekai Movie got me to do an 8-hour-total round trip solo drive the next day, and I don't know if there's anything I can say to match that energy.

Finished this in 2022 but decided to finish the last few achievements I had lying around for the 100% - one of my favorite games of all time.

Quick Recap of Ender Magnolia experience: I hate teleportation. Yes, I did sob a little when I saw her again and heard that song come on. Yes, I hate Vel. Yes, I did expect something bad to happen to an NPC after I got that last piece. And no, I did not get much sleep while playing this game.

Finished Ender Magnolia, and it really is a perfect sequel. I love all of the gameplay and setting differences - I think they all combine into an amazing contrast to Ender Lillies.
While Ender Lillies leaned into horror and systemic tragedy, Magnolia focuses primarily on personal tragedies.

The iconic 1-2 combo: dying when a boss is at 10% and then immediately getting deleted by the boss's first moves during the salty run-back.

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"
No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.
there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

That cool artist you admire is probably struggling real hard right now and trying to make it seem like things aren't as bad as they are. You should give them some love.

My arcade habits are biting me really hard playing Rift of the Necrodancer because I keep dropping my combo by pressing keys as an idle action. Going to have to break this habit before I can comfortably get through story mode, it throws me off so hard.

Think this is at the top of where I'm at for first day of Mash VP! I really need to work on something very similar that holds me back in ONGEKI - that being I'm really biased to use only the buttons on the same side as the notes.
Also, 4 lane mode is just beyond me right now, just too insane.

First impressions on MASH VP! Re:Vision - blame it on having just come off a Round1 Trip + GDC but man, so many Steam rhythm games literally just drop you off at Free Play like a schoolchild and I am not nearly dedicated enough to actually get good at this game. However, Save The Night is a banger.

Coming up with working titles for my projects and wondering if there's some unexplored passion for ornithology that I need to address.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for work
Award winning freelance video game composer, and I also do sound design.
If you or anyone you know is looking for contract music or audio, I can write in any style and like doing dynamically layered soundtracks.

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity.
What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

Finally settling back in after my first GDC. Had my fair share of stumbles and struggles as a newbie, but it was a really rewarding experience overall. Got to meet a lot of cool new people and just be a part of the community - been learning to embrace spontaneity and to just chat with folks.

Update: still in San Fran bc I got way too tired and headed to the airport early but have indeed spent the greater part of those extra 4 hours just zoning out in the United Lounge. Still excited for that near 6 hours of what is definitely going to be sleep time
What I should do: catch up on my book club reading and figure out "following up" after GDC (will take any advice)
What I will probably do: find the nearest seat and zone out
Can't wait to hit my airplane seat and just stop existing for 6 hours.

Downloaded some games for the flight that I've been meaning to get around to playing. Once I catch some Zzzs, it'll be time to have an **experience**
