Do you remember when games had jingles when you hit the start button? Like, in Silent Hill, or how the resident evil man says RESIDENT EEVIIIL?

We stopped doing it and I hate that this tradition is gone. I miss it so much, I put it in Wanderstop, a game I worked on.

"We Don't Need To Just Keep On Repeating The Past" - Lena Raine On Shmups, SNES Samples & Going Solo Here comes the boom

Last year I spent a wonderful hour with Lena Raine (@lena.fyi) crouched down in the corner of a jam-packed showroom to talk about RPGs, music, and how hard it is to make a game:

Let's turn back together.

Face the flower and speak.

Digital graphic with the text "anti-censorship campaign" and screenshots of headlines about how multiple storefronts have removed NSFW content due to pressure from payment processors and Collective Shout.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

We CAN make a difference 💕

Oh I am most certainly inside the nerdosphere, haha. I've been on and off testing different distros on a test machine I have, and I've just now gotten brave enough to try it with my main computer.

fwiw: game music, especially music that comes from a place of deep respect for fan communities as part of its creation, deserves to live in conversation with each other & not locked down behind a gate. that's always been my stance on the things i have copyright control over. in case it wasn't clear.

Just learned about the <marquee> HTML tag, a whole new world of silly little possibilities has opened itself to me.............

The only reason I even have a Microsoft account anymore is because they made it so you need one in order to play Minecraft. Blehg

Migrating from Adobe to alternatives, migrating from Google to alternatives, and migrating from Windows (and Microsoft as a while!) to alternatives.

Entering my "I am very tired of Big Tech" arc, and honestly in some cases it's kinda fun (like giving Linux Mint a shot lol)

Reminded of the time I was reading the online FL Studio manual which mentioned it was for "FL Studio 24" which startled me since at the time the newest one I knew about/was using was 21 (they went from 21 to 24)

I keep forgetting new iOS and macOS went straight to version 26 (after being on 18 and 15 respectively) and now whenever I see something like "iOS 26" I have to sort out my brain remembering what the hell is going on. XD

I replayed Monument Valley (for like...the fifth time...) earlier this year! I still absolutely love its art style

Realized that I do not like posting on YouTube! At least frequently. So I'll probably show off musical doodles here instead and save things like YT and BC for big releases, like game music or things I think of as more fully fleshed out. 🎶

A List Of Games By Trans People Before 2010

Happy pride folks

I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team.

We have always been here.

The Balatro Timeline — LocalThunk It’s been approximately 3 years since I began work on Balatro - and in that time I have personally documented almost nothing about the journey. This is something that has bothered me since the game la...

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development

the genderfluid flag sucks complete ass so I redesigned it a few years ago. Made it round instead of rectangle [underserved flag shape] and I added the doom HUD

my life for the past 11 or so years has been just "i need to make an album out of all these unfinished and almost-finished songs i have lying around" and then i don't do that
