Also:
“Once you’ve ruled out the impossible, then whatever is left, however improbable, must be the truth. The problem lay in working out what was impossible, of course. That was the trick, alright.”
Can’t pass up an opportunity for a Discworld quote:
“It wasn't by eliminating the impossible that you got at the truth, however improbable; it was by the much harder process of eliminating the possibilities.”

They put so much care and attention into other aspects of the game, its a shame the voices sound so goofy and off putting
Hey y'all, we just posted a Sound Design intern position here on the Respawn Jedi team for Summer 2026! Come make some really cool stuff with us
*Caveat is you must be a student graduating no earlier than December 2026

Yo! Any chance you’ll be making your way out west towards Kitchener?
it doesn't get mentioned all that much in books on drawing or comics, but i don't know any technique that's more useful than walking away for an hour
Mothership could also be a good option if you want to lean into the horror side of it more and/or want a more OSR-style system
I picked up The Wildsea recently, and one of my first thoughts was that it could totally be adapted to work as a Scavenger’s Reign type of story/setting
Only issue I’ve found working with parsec is that I can’t use ASIO in my daw
Oh hell yeah! I just recently got into playing Mothership, I’ll check this out
Seconding Voidtools’ Everything. Sooooo much better and faster for finding files
Oh I’m definitely like her. There are pretty much no circumstances where music helps me focus
Time to make a crow library
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm)

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
Car-dependency is awesome. I love it when the sidewalk that is my only path to get from A to B just becomes something to hold all the snow that was in the road and now I get to choose between trudging through waist-deep snow or walking directly in the 50 kph road
I don’t think I’d call it it “ceremony” (in case you’re looking specifically for formal practices / presentations), but it’s great if you just want to learn the best ways to make tea
Amazing and infuriating how decades of dystopian writers were apparently not on-the-nose enough now that every day I see things like:
“This is the anti-indoctrination bill, which says we can control what children are allowed to think”
I absolutely hate that this is one of the best jokes I’ve read in a long time
The musical section of Alan Wake 2
It’s such a delight. I can’t think of the last time a game made me grin like a child the way astrobot has consistently done
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.
You’re telling me this isn’t the normal size?
Astrobot is such an amazing piece of work in every way. BUT, it drives me insane that there’s no audio settings whatsoever. The mix was made for one context and one context only, and that’s pretty frustrating. Not even simple volume sliders
#gameaudio It's that time of year again where I try to do a resource roundup for the Free Audio Resource site!
Please take a look and let me know:
- Any free resources I missed?
- Any additional categories you want to see?
- Anything else I can add?

Yeah! And all the audio work was great. There were so many moments where they let the sound carry the comedy and tell the story
Just watched it last week as well, it was amazing. Made me feel like a kid again in all the best ways.
And if I want to bike, I have to deal with busy roads that have no bike lanes and minimal lighting at night
Definitely our biggest frustration after moving back to North America. Just seeing a friend on the other side of town is either 20 minutes by car, or over an hour by bus and the bus schedule isn’t even reliable.
