Watched my older bro play IV First I played myself was VI. It's still my GOAT. Haven't played any past the PS2 era and would love to, but don't have the time for long games any more, sadly.

Yeah, they're amazing for animators to have something to show for previs and timing in Maya before the VFX artists do their thing for real in the game engine.

So lucky to work on Prime Access trailers. My fellow Tim from marketing knew right away to follow up Yareli's magical-girl trailer with a red band monster-girl trailer and I tagged in two of our best animators to tackle the hardest shots. (Warning: gore) youtu.be/ie2c2Gkm2VY youtu.be/ie2c2Gkm2VY

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox
the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

I realized I basically forgot to share anything after the release of Techrot Encore. I managed to beg to do another Gemini emote despite working on two Boyband enemies. I tried to make Minerva's emote mirror Velimir's a little, both in the posing, as well as the use of breath. #Warframe #animation

I know it's silly, but I have owned FFXIII since it came out and haven't touched it yet because I wanted to finish XII first. Our Xbox 360 has just been our occassional DVD player for the last several years. It's gonna get used for gaming again this year! :)

Tim Sormin @timsormin.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
NY resolution: 20yrs is long enough. I will finally finish FFXII. Started in '06, long lapse, learned last year how to copy PS2 memcard to PC so I can continue my playthrough in a way that looks fantastic on a modern TV. Picked up this week. Deciding how much optional content to do before finishing.
FFXII looking good on a modern 4K OLED TV with increased resolution thanks to PCSX2. My cat is also blocking one corner because she was interested in all the flashing movement on screen for a minute.

Grapefruit is such a nostalgic winter treat for me. Easy, if a tad annoying to prep, but just delightful.
Grapefruit. Sliced in half through the equator. Seeds scooped out. Carved around every wedge with a knife. Can optionaly sprinkle with sugar if fruit isn't sweet enough. Eat by scooping out each wedge with a spoon. Be sure to squeeze the juice out of what's left so you don't waste it!
