I really appreciate that! Also please do not mention him, I'm worried if enough people think about him at once he will gain sentience and try to drink my eyeball fluid

Appreciate that. I still occasionally get emails asking "who IS that on the trailers/ballad of Hilda, they sound amazing!" Some people ask if it's me singing it and while that's flattering, if they had ever heard any of my temp vocal tracks they would be ashamed vis-a-vis words and deeds

Glad I got in on the "bass/baritone clearance sale" then because you sound fantastic

So grateful to have been invited to speak at Stanford alongside @akashthakkar.com ! The folks at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics were some of the most enthusiastic, inventive people I've ever met. Can't wait to go back!

You know, I'm not sure, I should ask the Playtopia folks!

Ryan Ike @ryanikeaudio.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

I'm gonna be a guest speaker at @playtopia.bsky.social this Friday in Cape Town, South Africa! My talk "Don't: How Not To Work In Game Audio" is mostly a list of all whoopsies I did in my early career and tips on how to avoid them. It's "Don't Be Like Me: The Presentation" lol.

Thanks for having me! Can't wait to hear the recording, where I come across normal and eloquent, I'm sure

So I'm kinda bad about using this platform lately, but in the off chance anyone has recommendations: Going to NYC for a few days, staying on the Lower East Side. Anyone recommend good food/stuff to do? Got plenty on the list already but would love to add more

I whispered "noctis" under my breath once while in line at Trader Joe's and she called me and left a 115 minute voicemail about how Lunafreya doesn't deserve him

This really means a lot! Probably the piece of music that I'm the most devastated didn't make it into the game it's for. It's part of gamedev sometimes, and it's nobody's fault, but still sucks, so it's awesome to hear from folks who've discovered it anyway! Really appreciate it 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

OR you know the thing where stuff in your inventory is highlighted "new" until you view it, but then you accidentally select it for a split second while navigating to something else, and now it's marked "read" and you lose track? This game keeps it marked "new" unless you actually pause to read! 🙏

Man, Clair Obscur has so many little quality of life things I now never want to go without. For example, the way recovery items work like Estus flasks means I use them all the time instead of hoarding them for a boss I never end up spending them on.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Pretty sure if my graduate advisor knew this was what I was doing with my degree he'd come to my house and kill me with a pitchfork

Anyone recommend any good language learning apps or tools? Specifically for Japanese, but multi-lingual ones welcome too. @duolingoverde.bsky.social gleefully leaning into AI is a hard pass for me. Been on their paid plan for years but this is an instant-unsubscribe

Sinners was so fucking good. I was expecting a fun vampire time, I was not expecting a movie with so much amazing stuff to say about what it means to make music, and what music can do. All the performances were out of control.

The story of a woman who didn't let society tell her what's edible and what's not? A story of *bravery*?? Absolutely

One of those things I didn't realize I even wanted until Vital did it, and now it feels bonkers that most synths don't

if you don't want to crack this bad boy open ad down it in one shot you're a cop

I think one of my fav things that happened at GDC this year was chatting with my fellow panelists before our talk and all of us agreeing that we have the same urge to eat the bath bombs at Lush

Picture of a variety of Lush bath bombs. A few of them are actually shaped like foods (macarons, sticky buns, etc) but all of them look delicious regardless

I will cram Katamari down someone's throat at the slightest provocation. I think one 2D Mario and one 3D one are great ways to go.

Good, take your pun and go (but great recommendation)
