This October I'm daisy-chaining my movie nights, six-degrees style. Last night: The Fog. Tonight: The Mist. Tomorrow has to connect to The Mist: a @stephenking.bsky.social adaptation, a Darabont film, someone from the cast... Leaning towards Berberian Sound Studio (Toby Jones)! 🎃

I'm having one of those days where nothing is taking accountability for their actions. People, gamedev tools, dogs, the weather...NONE OF IT! #accountability

SweejTech Propagation works everything out at runtime. There is no bake step or pre-computation pass. When things in your game move, gets destroyed, or is built by the player, the system adapts automatically. #GameAudio #UnrealEngine #Wwise

Know what’s worse than a dog getting sprayed by a skunk? Having both dogs getting sprayed by a skunk. Kill me 🦨

The other night, I came across a bunch of my old Cakewalk SONAR project files which included my entire score for Soldier of Fortune II. I was able to convert them all to straight MIDI...so you better believe I'm sampling my Kurzweil K2000R today and getting into trouble.

After six years I have received my first payment from all of my music streams. 20.00. #retirement

I will say that when I drop a massive glass of water on my desk it at least forces me to clean the damn thing.

Same. Hugs to all of my affected Xbox/id Software/Bethesda/Everywhere fam. What a horrible situation. ❤️

Man, when I was younger I was stoked to see how our future was going to be like Star Trek. Now, as an adult it seems like we're heading more towards Fury Road.

Hey Xbox! Stop closing cool studios! You own all the IP—so let them use it! Make a Heretic! Make an Interstate '76! Make a Space Quest! Make something WEIRD! I'll make sounds for all of it.

Really dug the audio choices during the silence spell in the latest episode of Vox Machina. Super dynamic and impactful. Well done!

I've been such a big fan of @gaminghistorian.bsky.social's youtube channel for years and while I'm sad that he's retiring from that aspect, I'm very much enjoying his Old Timey Podcast that he does with his better half, Kristin! The Great Stink was an excellent intro for me. #GreatHeapOfTurds

I've been tooling around with a local VTT app. If anyone that runs tabletop games and wants an option that is pretty simple to get up and rolling, I'd love to get your feedback! #tabletop #dnd #TTRPG #VTT github.com/themightyzq/...

Hey everyone. We're in the final stretch on development for SweejTech's GPU raycast propagation system. Our API is designed to work with any audio middleware, including Wwise and FMOD, joining our existing compatible products. We'd love to hear from you, would you be interested in testing?

You would think that in this year of our lord of 2026 that perforce would have a progress bar that works.

I'm puttering around with a 32-bit recording app for iOS. It starts to capture when you turn on the app. You can select clips as it rolls & save them as individual files. You can also treat it like a traditional recorder, hit the record button, & it'll clear the capture buffer & start recording.

Clip selected in a rolling capture waveform

Settings menu for the app which includes Capture buffer duration, audio channel count, sample rate, audio input, format, version number, etc.

Tooling around with my own fork of the idTech4/RBDoom-3-BFG engine and got an ingame tool working where I am loading in a bunch of player movement values and updating them real time and then saving them as the defaults: youtu.be/sB17s4YX7VU
