tokyo game show day 3, the magpie lives to peck another day and so do we

Would YOU like to support a friendly, not-for-profit tabletop gaming event? Now in its 5th year, Trick or Retreat is open to sponsorship! ToR is a relaxed residential retreat for making friends, crafting, and a whole lot of tabletop gaming. Find out more at support.trickorretreat.uk

a lil reminder that not only this exists but the soundtrack for Flock also still exists on bandcamp if grabbing a vinyl isn't possible (and supports me more directly, especially today bc hey its Bandcamp Friday) elirainsberry.bandcamp.com/album/flock-...

So here’s the deal. I’m being made redundant from my day job, which I don’t mention often here because I don’t like crossing the streams of music me and day job me all that much. I’ve got a little runway but if you’ve got projects coming up soon it would be an ideal time to talk.

Super excited to announce that @elirainsberry.com's amazing Flock soundtrack is getting a vinyl release thanks to cool folks at @lostincult.co.uk! There is a pink and purple splatter variant and plain ol' black vinyl, both limited to 125 copies! Shipping right now from lostincult.co.uk/flock

crawling back to say that it's Bandcamp Friday, once again, this time I'm using today to fundraise for my friend Will's gender affirming surgery! they're coming up to halfway through their campaign, would be neat to help towards that (plus you also get music with it?) elirainsberry.bandcamp.com

Hey @artsemergency.bsky.social has their call open for mentors again! You get paired with a young person approx. 16-17 and talk to them once a month, it's great and not very much work at all and the organisation is ALWAYS short of mentors who work in games

Sadly, the entire audio team at ZA/UM is being made redundant as part of the layoffs. If you're looking (or expect to be looking) for Sound Designers or Tech Sound Designers, please don't hesitate in reaching out to @eliforster.bsky.social, @missgameaudio.bsky.social and @soundbear.bsky.social

if anyone wants to Perceive Me and say hi to me at - or more realistically around - Develop:Brighton this week, I’ll mostly be around over today and tomorrow (or any of the audio/music meets) ✌️

The Caput Mortum soundtrack is finally here! An atmospheric descent into horrors below a seemingly abandoned alchemist's tower. ockeroid.bandcamp.com/album/caput-...

for my non uk friends, what's happened is the fascist leader has resigned his seat as an mp just to run for it again in order to dodge investigations + seek attention other parties arent falling for the stunt so arent running against him, so his only opponent will be a man with a bin on his head

this is his gofundme btw. would encourage everyone else who can to chuck this fella a couple quid www.gofundme.com/f/get-artist...

In a pleasing turn of events, I actually got to spend some time planning my next TTRPG project this morning. So, apropos of nothing at all... Who amongst you likes to write UK-flavoured stuff in the vein of Forteana, folklore, strange horrors, etc., and might be open to a small future commission?

I've made a new pinned post ^^ and for the folks who miss the links in there, I wrote a new blog post recently! briefly writing a lil bit about having signet city and bad magpie announced, as well as the fundraising I intend on doing for the Sadaqah Team: elirainsberry.bearblog.dev/signet-city-...

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Please help out victims of the racist attacks in Belfast, thank you.

Unlike other industries, the gaming industry is unable to take a stand against the ethnic cleansing in Palestine. Big companies dont want the risk, individuals dont know what to do. If you believe in this medium & want to help. This is a game about Palestine needs your help Launchgood.com/1948

the context for this is finally here btw

So happy to be official sponsor of your dark and nasty phase

extremely ready for the second reveal, btw www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRVx...

hi! have revamped my Composer Rates survey! if you're a freelance composer based in the UK, pls could you fill in this quick anonymous questionnaire? the goal is to make a community resource to share knowledge & spread awareness of how much music costs 🙌 pls share!! forms.gle/6Uvcjk8cP2ts...

EDM 240 to reject the draft Code of Practice now has 63 signatures. We all need to keep pushing this. We need everyone to write to their MP. Regardless of their positions on trans rights. If they choose to ignore our voices, at least we will have the receipts. 🧵1/3

Audio (sound effects, music, and dialogue) has a weird relationship with temp assets, mostly because of issues revolving around human psychology. Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?
