Thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the folks at @ironrootgames.com about making their new studio a safe place for its devs. There’s no compromise, they want to put their people first and foremost.
In collaboration with @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social, a curated film series inspired by #GhostofYotei will be showing in select Alamo Drafthouse locations August 2nd through September 4th.
My secret weapon best sound design plugin of all time is going to bed and coming back to it later

Dave K! The Legend. Yessir good times. I'll never forget that first moment of hearing a sound I made, thrown into Wwise and played back in the Tempe surround mix room!
Samesies!
For anyone looking for Audio opportunities: saw that DevBrada is back up and running.
It's a great site to see a bunch of jobs all at once, filtered by location or studio.
Good for games and post/education jobs too now, great tool:

Is there anything you CAN'T do?! 😂
This is so exciting, man. That preview sounds amazing!
That inner critic saying, "Why would anyone care about your work?" It’s lying. Someone will care. Your perspective is unique, and someone out there needs it. Your work matters—even if the results aren't immediate. Keep going. 💜 #IndieDev
Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.
Nice! I learned the same trick from Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers), in an old, old article about how he'd end up with blister holes in his fingers while on tour. Came in handy during my metal guitarist days 🤘
2024 is almost over.
If you see this, post a Game Over Screen!

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.
And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.
There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.
If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.
Listening to @akashthakkar.bsky.social latest episode of Sound Business with Raison Varner, think I need a note pad and a few more listens. Tonnes of great stuff on the psychology of working in #GameAudio open.spotify.com/episode/445l...
Soundtoys PhaseMistress is FREE until Nov 15! It has a great sound and is usually the first phaser I reach for when I'm looking for that effect—grab it while you can! #gameaudio www.soundtoys.com/free-phasemi...
Yeah! You'll want to check out @lewisbarn.bsky.social's posts.
Y'all nailed it!
I currently use DistroKid and am extremely tired of their bullshit, especially with this union busting. They recently laid off 37 people, all union members who represented nearly half of the recently-formed union. Sharing and signing.
