@devindra.bsky.social I’m at episode 7 of industry season 4 and I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this show. This has quietly become truly one of the best shows currently out there. I’m astounded at this season. Thanks for singing its praises - more people need to see this.

After some time away, I finally have some new music coming. I see a bunch of creators on all media getting burned out and quitting altogether. I don’t want to become one of them, so I try and take breaks when needed. Thanks for being patient with me. 🙏 Hoping to have something new for y’all soon! 🎶

Here is a remix I created for a project that was sadly never completed. This is the title theme from Wolverine on NES. It’s a tribute to the amazing work of Geoff Follin and a reminder of some of the great tunes he gave us before his passing. Jam on in the afterlife my dude. youtu.be/dKZTGhA2bcQ

In addition to an old poster Christmas List I found recently, I also came across this old gem that I drew on oak tag over several days in excitement for the Super NES and of course Super Mario World. I was absolutely OBSESSED with that game when it came out. Still one of my all-time faves ☺️

MkVaff @mkvaff.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

I’m so glad my brother never threw this out and gave it back to me a few years ago (and prompted a flood of amazing gaming memories as soon as I saw it again for the first time in years). What an amazing, magical time 🤩

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts. ocremix.org/remix/OCR04918 youtube.com/watch?v=fUsg...

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

I just finished the latest song / video for Reflections and it really bummed me out - but I suppose in a good way? 🤷‍♂️ Going through all this old footage and creating little musical time capsules is proving to be as challenging - and in some ways as cathartic - as I had imagined.

As someone who is forgetful and so easily distracted with things, I’d say about 60% of the work on my latest project so far has amounted to me creating countless lists, charts, spreadsheets, and other organization documents. I suppose it’s become my own little puzzle solving side quest. 🤔
