Not going to say you're wrong for enjoying DS2, but I'm surprised of all the FromSoft games you're not choosing Bloodborne
In kinda a last minute decision, I got some flights for GDC! Not going to be getting a pass, but if anyone is around for GDC and wants to talk tech audio or haptics, I'll be there!
I'm happy I managed to make this work since this would have been the first one I missed since I started going in '23

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this ๐
Don't ever fuck around with Mario's legal team. They got some fucking hands
Yooo sick!
Wow, it's already GDC time again! I'm excited to be going next week with Shannon Zhao representing our new studio, Quietlight Games! I'll be hanging around in the park and at parties, so I hope our paths cross if you're going! Here's a sneak peak of what Shannon and I are cooking up with Flora Nova!
this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.
Working on a dynamic breathing system in Unreal currently, which has been an absolute blast! Tons of fun learning more about the engine and blueprints.
Now recording myself doing different kinds of breaths and efforts (and for multiple health states) is a lot less fun. How do voice actors do it? ๐ญ

Oooh okay thanks for the clarification article!
I still give Win a massive ๐ cause Win 11 is just an overall miserable experience IMO. If there was more stability in the audio workflow on Linux I'd be switching in a heartbeat
Ohhhhhhhh boy. I don't have much love for Tencent, but you can't deny how much they're propping up so much of the games industry rn.
Riot, Epic, new Ubisoft subsidiary, and so much more. Bad news for the whole industry if this goes through
Oh for fucks sake. Remember when Win10 was supposed to be "the last windows version"? ๐

One of my favorite parts of GDC last year! Come hang out and climb some rocks ๐ช

Yesterday was a big ERRA mood, super excited for the new album on Friday
Been staying off the internet today to avoid crazy psychic damage.
It shouldn't have to be said, but there is absolutely no justifiable reason that the United States should be bombing Iran, let alone a FUCKING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Everyone who did this deserves so much worse than I can put in words
Awesome! Super excited for it
I can't believe I really wanted Netflix of all people to buy WB. Now the Ellison's will control even more of the dwindling legacy media ๐

Hey @regameyk.bsky.social if you happen to be going to GDC this year (so understandable if you're not), do you happen to know if there's bouldering being organized again this year? Haven't seen anything about it and it was an absolute blast last year!

This is honestly one of the most incredible vocal performances I've ever heard. The amount of control @maphramusic.bsky.social has over her voice is stunning. Going through her full range, while adding and removing distortion, and not hearing a single crack is mind blowing

I'd have to say Uncut Gems. I thought it was an incredible movie, but I don't think I can ever watch it again. I've never been so uncomfortable watching a movie
I've never listened to any of Jacob Collier's work before, but this video legitimately had me crying. It's so incredibly beautiful, creative, and sincere, with genuine passion pouring out from everyone. I fucking love music โค๏ธ

Trying Adderall for the first time today (fully prescribed for ADD) and hooooly wow. Is this how normal people feel all the time? You can actually focus on tasks without having 50 million ideas whirling through you all at once? Crazy
