I started playing Resident Evil 4 Remake over the weekend, never played it, or the original. I just gotta say, I get it. I get why people are always raving about this one. It’s truly special.

What if they made source control but get this, it works as intended, and makes collaboration easier? I feel like it could work, if someone were able to pull it off. I guess we will never know!

One of my favorite things about sound design as a profession is it's often very full of whimsy. Sometimes in order to convey your point in a meeting, you have no choice but to make a silly sound with your mouth. I just in earnest named some of my UI files 'Bleep Bloops'.

A new year means its time for a new reel. I'm seeking full time or contract sound design roles. I'm open to AAA, AA, or indie projects. youtu.be/PLm_4eacESU

We’ve done such an incredible job brainwashing people into believing that the only way for our society function correctly is capitalism. If it weren’t for the promise of profits, how would any art ever get made!? /s

A little over a year ago I convinced my gf to give Stardew Valley a try. She reluctantly agreed (She doesn’t play games very often). Fast forward to last night, I’m trying to remember if Robin’s shop is open, or if she’s at aerobics. “Aerobics is only on Tuesdays.” She says with an eye roll 🙄

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

As a gift to the game dev and audio community, I'd like to give away some free cozy fireplace sound effects! Last week, a wind storm took our power down for the night, and I took advantage of the quiet to capture some very pleasant crackling fire recordings. youtu.be/h6xKKxyNwFg

I’m seeing claims that GTA VI cost a staggering $2billion to develop. If that figure is somewhat close to correct, even in this age of overly inflated budgets that has to be by far the most expensive game ever made, right? Insane
