Had some trouble in mastering, so didn't make yesterday's deadline for @musicweeklies.bsky.social. But here is my submission, nonetheless! The challenge this time was #Dungeon. I pictured a puzzle heavy dungeon, empty of foes, but full of history. #composer tineschenck.bandcamp.com/track/ch-tea...

From the outside looking in: Working with other people’s cultures For 5 years now, I've been part of a team working on a video game about Sámi culture. The Sámi are an Arctic reindeer herding culture with a long prehistory in Fenno-Scandia, today living within the nation states of Norway, Sweden,…

What I don't understand is why we, Europe, would need an American megalomaniac to shock us into action that we didn't even ask for. I guess we're just a sorry peace loving bunch. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

You and your troop of adventurers enter the #Dungeon. Is it dark and gloomy, maybe frozen and crystallized? Showcase the music that would play while exploring a dungeon of your choice! Post your sub to our Discord or here as a reply or a post tagging us & #Dungeon Deadline next Friday!

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Watching a docu series on alternative medicine practices, and it strikes me that most or all of this medicine is basically systematic cultural appropriation. And It's kind of funny. Like western medicine in the west is not exotic enough. So boring with all that antibiotic stuff. Bring the ayahuasca!

It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Why is this important? Because, until the 1970s, women in the western world were considered too stupid to be scientists and were expected to sacrifice their lives to men. Men expected to get female servants #WomenInSTEM www.un.org/en/observanc...

Major or minor key?!? All is ‘revealed’ 23 secs in. My entry for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social #reveal prompt. Harmonic ambiguity is a fun fun time 🎶🙃🎶 #deflemask #sega #ym2612 #fm #chiptune

May the cosmic truth be revealed in the chaos and distortion. @musicweeklies.bsky.social #Reveal Not much time this week so threw this together this evening. At least I can say I did a little something musical this week. soundcloud.com/tonal_drift/...

Next challenge is: The sun is rising and the birds are singing; it's time for breakfast! Perhaps a smooth jazzy breakfast sitting, or a fast-paced jump into the day, you decide! Post your sub to our Discord or here as a reply or a post tagging us & #Breakfast Deadline next Friday!

Imagining a "card punk" larp with people both making and using these

You did it! WOOP! You had the willpower to see it through! Here’s a sega fm stinger to celebrate \o/ My @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge entry for #willpower prompt #chiptune #fm #sega #megadrive #genesis #deflemask #muwee

this week the music composition challenge of @musicweeklies.bsky.social was #willpower and since I have to do some flugelhorn playing on a concert and I needed the practice, it's with me playing this time, enjoy! youtu.be/1h2n_WajwXg

I have such a hard time wrapping my head around the extremist waves coming out of the #US right now. I can't believe it's true. It's just so insane to reverse tolerance policies in government. I'm so sorry for anyone who has to live that reality. How did the world come to this? #gender #lgbtq ❤️❤️❤️

Inspireret af @aesbech.bsky.social og @mortenmalmros.bsky.social for at dele mere kærlighed og viden i en periode hvor vi trænger til det. Jeg har dog valgt at gå i en lidt anden retning. For hvert like får I cool viden og steder fra skandinavisk arkæologi

For critics: I think you had to be there for the 3D shift. It was mind blowing. And it totally changed how we played these games. None of us had played 3D Mario or Zelda in any way, shape or form. It was transformative. Since then, the franchises have basically just repeated on the game design.

The Games Jobs Workbook v18.1 is here – the most complete resource yet!

Cis women need to understand: the attack on trans women is an attack on all women. Imagine any other “group” of women having their rights stripped away, where’s that rage? Channel it into standing with our trans sisters. Women’s rights are all of our fight.

One of the first, soft targets of fascist regimes is "degeneracy," including "degenerate art." It's often first in line. And after destroying that's been ushered into acceptability? They just start expanding the definition of degeneracy.

Only good way to play an addictive puzzle that pulls out all the gambling psychology there is: got my 7000 steps in marching on the spot while playing. 😂 #gamedesign #gamer

The music weeklies prompt for this week was #mars Here’s a wee tune based on that using the good ol NES sound chip, gotta love some square wave bass 🤘 #deflemask #nes #muwee #chiptune @musicweeklies.bsky.social

We're getting to that long part of winter where we need #Willpower to make it through! Make a piece that will help you get through the tough times, tag it #Willpower , and tag us when you post it by next Friday. Join us on discord: discord.gg/bv2czFbh

a music composition with the theme #Mars for @musicweeklies.bsky.social and only using samples of The Free Orchestra by ProjectSAM. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/1rlE3fxVy98

Here's another composition for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge. For the week the theme was #Mars, better known to the natives as Barsoom.

Offering for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social #Mars challenge. Needs a lot more work and the Iconica sketch orchestra patch has it limits. (The tympani rolls are ... interesting). But I like the ideas and could see it polishing up well. soundcloud.com/tonal_drift/...

I need musical help!!! Is this a Samba rhythm on the drums in this Cuphead song? There's like 18 bits of percussion playing at the same time and I can't tell. youtu.be/qD54sROmeIM?...
