This week I am absolutely gutted by the sudden loss of my dad. I got the call while neck deep in sound design on a nightmare sequence, and then continued working through the shock and denial and finished the episode. Love you big, Dad. I love you so much.

Life has been kicking my ass lately, but probably not as badly as my sad boy MC. At least one of us is getting some sleep. Episode 3 is releasing in 2 parts for early access. You can hear part 1 right now for a few dollar bills.

Weigh any advice to get to curb your ambition. Sometimes it's genuinely about risk management; sometimes it's more about the person saying it than your actual ceiling. Compromise on how, not on whether. Trying and failing is still data. Don't let someone else's limits become your default. /rant

Independent artists are vulnerable to AI accusations and bad-faith rating bombs, related or not. If we want to have any artists left in this world, we need to be supporting them; not putting them...us...on the defensive. Be better than the bots.

"There is nuance to consider, Yoba!" Jonathan Cox @jonvoa.bsky.social is one of those voice actors you can trust with just about anything. He's played several characters in the Chartrulean universe, including the double-edged media man, Lybender, as well as a smuggler known as "The Old Man."

AI use accusations, especially in places where we can't comment back, are reductive of the thousands of human hours of human talent that go into making anything. Especially when the creator has shared so much of the BTS process. Be cautious about what you see, but please don't do this to shows.

One thing I really don't understand about today's discussions about AI is how relationships are so easily cast aside. Remembering how collaborative and fun it was to record with a human cast and how immensely other peoples' visions benefit the project, I can't imagine giving that up for efficiency.
