Beat Armored Core VI and I absolutely loved it! Such tight combat. Having to adapt to challenges felt rewarding. Probably one of my favorite games of the decade 🦾 Heck, I must have spent 4 hours just painting my mechs🎨 Here are some of my most used.

Armored Core VI is amazing 🦾 Spent as long on this super tough skill check encounter as I did customizing my mech ☠️😂

The Slate VSX 7 update is fantastic! Love what they've achieved with the new Desert Studio. Best they've ever sounded.

Just got a repod and it's a fun little case! Turns an Apple Watch into an old school iPod like device. Controls the iPhone, super small, prevents fauxductivity and endless app scrolls. The journey to reduce phone and tech time continues 🧘‍♂️

Ultrasonic testing the Sanken blended schoeps vs 8040 with a squeaky, creaky ironing board 🐭 Older household items add so much extra character! I should let it rust outside for a year and do it again 😂

Upgraded to the Sanken for ultrasonic blending🎙️ By far the winner in every shootout. Luckily got it used for a deal 💸

🔋New battery for the main Mixpre 10 II rig🔋 Neewer PS099E. Dtap power: Secure, fast recharge and 16.4 V output. Dtap to hirose for ultra secure, high stable power. 12v output for millennia with USB C 12V chip converter. USB A for the tablet. So far I love it, but need to put it through the paces⏺️

I'm absolutely loving the @xreal-global.bsky.social one pros 🕶️ Using them with my MacBook air in ultra wide, steamdeck gaming in anchor mode and iPhone for shows. Tried a few others and these are the best by far (stable 3dof, clarity, ultra wide built in)😎

Any Streamdeck power users have a way to build out buttons in an automated and ultra fast way? I love Streamdeck, but not the slow process of prepping it all. Digging into BitFocus Companion. A shame Streamdeck profiles can't be exported/imported in .csv/json or other formats to automate things.

Went to sell my jp8080 and access virus C when suddenly... Sandstorm 🌪️ Letting go of old gear is always a struggle. Such classic tones and nostalgia. How do you accept letting gear go and evaluate when it no longer fits your current needs? Any methods to the madness?

Turns out isopropyl alcohol can get the gunk off old plastic on gear. Lots of cheaper plastic gets gummy over time so it's nice this fixes it. Dip in isopropyl alcohol, 4x-8x heavy swipes over each face with a cue tip, then clean up any extra residue 🧼

Nine sols was awesome! Love they have story mode sliders! Used it for phase 3 Lady E and to not sink 3-4 hours into Eigong pattern learning 😂 Can always go fight them after in normal too! Excellent sounding game with blend of tonal synths and foley 🙌 Just the right amount of challenge for 95%.

The Austin #gameaudio meetup was a big success tonight! We all brought props and did a big shootout between ultrasonic mics. Also presented my fresh talk "Beyond Audible" which is a primer all about ultrasonic recording. Plan to post results to YT in the future. 🎙️

In the middle of a gaming session... hard system crash... or so I thought. Turns out windows decided to update without warning me despite going to great lengths to disable auto updates. Some days Windows makes my head explode 🤯

Split keyboards are amazing for posture and ergonomics! I tried a few and landed on the NocFree with silent switches, foam and walnut wrist rests. Absolute Game changer ⌨️ No more twisted arms, ulnar nerves or collapsed shoulders. Thanks to all who gave me keyboard advice🙌

You know an action/plugin I want? A plugin use tracker. Something that tallies how many times I actually instantiate a plugin in reaper over time. Then 6-12 months later I could use that to cut down the bloat of my vst directories! Does that exist?

@nvk.tools Reaper theme is awesome! Adds very useful customization options. I made 7 fresh color themes for it and shared in their discord. What #gameaudio color themes inspire you in your DAWs? Thinking a cool nature theme, retro and synthwave theme would be fun for different types of tasks :)

Avowed is super fun! Grimoire + wand FTW🪄 Well done to the audio team 🙌 It really shines midway as companions and combat hit their stride IMHO. Try playing a bit with music muted to isolate the wonderful ambience, FS, impact and combat sounds 🎧 @jelfish.bsky.social @teamaudio.bsky.social

🤳Trying a Lenovo M8 as a dedicated wingman tablet and it seems like a perfect fit after some tweaks. 13 hours of battery life, bright, lightweight, and very inexpensive! Nice to have all the tracks, takes, and project so visually accessible. Anyone interested in a video breakdown of the full rig?
