no dollars to spare, can offer cat
An orange cat submerged in a sink full of water with only its head poking above the surface. It looks thoroughly pleased. A caption reads: "unbothered. moisturized. happy. in my lane. focused. flourishing."

banger blog post by @theotherfrost.bsky.social theotherreviewoutlet.substack.com/p/game-journ...
“Just do it.” I've always hated that advice. Everything has an on boarding process. If you tell me you want to learn to cook, I'll start you on pancakes so you don't burn down the house. If you want to get fit, I'll give you light exercises to avoid prolapsing on the gym floor. I think raw dogging any activity is more likely to lead to trauma and quitting. Some say this is fine because it weeds out the weak. Be real. We play video games and write about how they make us feel. If anything, we should be trying to preserve innocence and naivety rather than stripping it away and homogenizing our writing styles. Be even more real. The studio shutdowns, acquisitions, and layoffs have done on a number on the game journalism scene, so beggars can’t be choosers.

you haven't played a Good Game until a cow conveys to Judero prophesies of the future
A scene from the game Judero, depicting cows standing in a pasture. One of the herd, named Wise Heifer, says to protagonist Judero: "Then something else has got to happen. And what will happen is one of the most exciting things."

Extra detail: The terrain is a low-poly 3D model textured with photographed dirt and grass. In the distance, a small creek flows and cuts through a hill. The cows look to be photographs of real cows, displayed as flat planes facing the viewer - as are all actors and foreground details, including shrubs, blades of grass, and circles of hearts hovering slightly above the ground. A sharp vignette frames the full image. In the bottom right corner, a portrait of the Wise Heifer faces left. To the left of it, the Wise Heifer's name is displayed in text, and the line they speak to the player below that.

Did a big ol' update on my website hiroshi-mcbride.dev and added a playlist of my music, powered by @reelcrafter.com which so far is working pretty well for me! My use here is pretty minimal, but it's quite powerful. Something to try for composers, sound designers, trailer makers, etc.
The front page of my website. The background is almost black of color. Handwritten, pinkish red text at the top reads "Hiroshi McBride." Smaller text right below it reads "Games | Music | Some Undefined Third Thing." Below that is a row of icons in a mauve-ish color linking to various websites. Then, an embedded YouTube video of my portfolio reel. Finally below that is an embedded playlist of some of my songs.

A popup window of audio software REAPER. It reads:

REAPER IS NOT FREE.

It is a paid software product.
If you use it more than 60 days you are required to purchase a license.

You have been evaluating REAPER for approximately 184 days.
You have run REAPER 286 times for a total of 184:44:50.

REAPER licenses are very reasonably priced.

We are showing you this message, instead of crippling this evaluation version of REAPER, because we do not feel that technological enforcement of licensing policy is in the best interest of our customers.

Four games I've worked on
Game: I Didn't Axe For This (2024)

A low-resolution monochrome image of a character holding an ice axe in each hand, hanging onto a cliff face by one axe. Three bats are hovering around themGame: Void Bunny (2024)

A sea bunny moving across a low-poly sea floor landscape.Game: DESCEND (2024)

Two vaguely humanoid figures stand at the end of a bridge. The environment is completely dark save for two small lights, one at each wall of the bridge. The two humanoids are starkly lit by these lights. They appear to be looking at a large column in the distance.Game: Mama Kitty (2022)

Image shows the rear of a small, plush black cat looking at an imposing structure in the distance. This structure is made of the same materials as a cat tower, and is partially collapsed and overgrown with moss.  Balls of yarn are strewn about. Other cat towers are visible on both sides of the structure. The ground is grassy and covered in shrubs. The sky is a pinkish blue, and the sun is partially obscured behind the large structure, tesselating crepuscular rays towards the viewer. Large, five-pointed stars dot the sky, as well as a few floating fish.
