Hey #vgmusic #gamemusic #cover #remix people - This album is finally out! It's a collection of arrangements of boss themes from various games. If you wanna hear my take on the Banjo-Kazooie final battle music then it's track 7 (and features all live musicians): lnk.to/boss-pe

This is the way. Please support artists. Art does not come out of nothing, whatever you may have heard from genAI shills.

Since I had insomnia anyway I went ahead and beat Ender Magnolia tonight. It is quite good! Enjoyable enough for me to get the platinum while I was at it (it was an extremely hassle free platinum). Mechanically it's better than its predecessor, but the story didn't grab me as much unfortunately. 🧵

As you have no doubt noticed, unfortunately no stream tonight. I'm overwhelmed by work and partner's weird work schedule. Be back next week, sorry y'all!

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

I hate seeing billionaires getting away with crime after crime with literally zero consequences. This is not how life should work.

Hell yeah, slow and steady progress on a music track. Can't share (NDA) but it's good stuff and I'm really getting into tons of layers and details (fun!) Now I'm gonna attempt to sleep which... we'll see, I guess!

This is glorious.

I know it's tempting to use genAI to clown on Drumpf and Musky Husky but please don't. Let's not keep normalizing this slop. Do crappy not-Photoshop edits instead. Go old school. Make memes that look bad. I beg you.

Share with a Trump fan today. Try to make them watch it. They probably won't, but if just a few can be persuaded to see reason, maybe - just maybe - there's still hope. Maybe. @somemorenews.bsky.social - Thank you for yet another excellent video. youtu.be/XCJIaxY46zo?...

Yeah so if all game studios with integrity could publicly reject gen-AI that would be great, thanks

I genuinely worry that we will never get another game like Disco Elysium.

I genuinely fucking hate how every goddamn search now turns up ten pages of recycled AI garbage, burying the actual results, and the search engine's own AI tries to summarize incorrect information from those AI sites, and we're headed toward some sort of AI event horizon where it's all just AI

Drake responding to Kendrick's utterly devastating, multi-layered "A minor" joke/callout with "B sharp" is genuinely one of the funniest self-owns in modern history

Most Japanese websites look like they're still in the mid-to-late '90s and I honestly love it, let's return to when the internet was just that and nothing else

Fairy Fountain: Hearts for LA is taking us to A Place to Call Home, thanks to @ianmartyn.bsky.social and his amazing shirt. Rock some VGM tunes with us and @zeldathon.com! 🕹️ twitch.tv/ongakuoverdrive 💘 twitch.tv/zeldathon

I feel unbridled anger. Billions upon billions of dollars that could have been spent on helping victims of the California wildfires, ending homelessness, and a hundred other awful issues plaguing the US, and THIS is what they blew it all on?

A lot of bad shit going down right now. Try to take time for yourself. Remember to eat, drink, sleep, and take your meds. You can do this. One step at a time.

Cage of Roses is finally out, @ebihimes.bsky.social's gorgeous vampire yuri visual novel! I did the music for this one :) You can find the complete Cage of Roses soundtrack on Bandcamp: esselfortium.bandcamp.com/album/cage-o...

Hell yeah, managed to write some music today! I've been stuck in limbo for a good while now because of physical health issues and now I finally broke through. Very proud of myself. :)

Look, all I'm saying is that if you're a bit too comfortable throwing the word "degenerate" around, I will be suspicious of you.

Alright, acceptance phase reached on this new ear hiss I have acquired. We all have battle scars. Shows we've lived. I am missing a gall bladder, am struggling with cPTSD, I have IBS, and now I also have tinnitus. So what? So *fucking what*? Like that's gonna stop me. I've got cool shit to do.
