Can someone do a GDC talk about why teeth are so hard to do in videogames?
If youโve been enthralled by @expedition33.bsky.social at #thegameawards, tune in TONIGHT 6PM AEDT to ABC Classic for new music by Lorien Testard & Alice Duport-Percier, from the fresh DLC, Versoโs Drafts.

Tagging @nathancummins.au for his incredible work orchestrating this score, along with the million other things he seems to be doing in the South Australian music & games scenes.
This reminded me to book my tickets for the ACMI and Orchestra Victoria Hollow Knight and Silksong Live performance in February, thank you! www.acmi.net.au/whats-on/hol...
Had the pleasure of chatting with @musophrenic.bsky.social recently on ABC Classicโs Game Show about the music of Silksong. Thanks for having me :) www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
An hour with the music of Silksong (@teamcherry.bsky.social), plus another hour (almost) chatting to its bard, @christopherlarkin.bsky.social ๐ชก๐ต๐ฎ

I donโt know where else to point out that Marvel spoofing Masterclass was already expertly done by @theryangeorge.bsky.social, several years ago, with a video series that would spoof both Marvel and Masterclass in one fell swoop.
Not even complaining, just wanted to mention it lol
A dear friend asked me to play her down the aisle with this masterpiece from Pride and Prejudice by Dario Marianelli - just over one minute of music, but each note speaks uniquely, and I hope I've done it some semblance of justice.
Youโre welcome!
