Some fantastic Digimon art I got from @burritosalad.bsky.social at the recent Ready, Start con in St Kilda~
At what point does "valuation" stop meaning anything? Like clearly this metric is bullshit
*NEW* Colossal Biosciences’ Ben Lamm and Anduril’s Palmer Luckey team up on a new startup to genetically engineer war dogs for the military. Warhound comes out of stealth at $1.2B valuation For @forbes.com with @iainmartin.bsky.social and @mhunterhart.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/amyfel...
As with all things economically weird, it comes back to, drum roll please Reagan He loosened a lot of the regulations that allowed children's cartoons to essentially become toy commercials with *slight* restrictions Right or wrong, we got some interesting stories out of it
It's weird that no one wants to acknowledge that every ahow you enjoyed watching as a kid was a toy commercial. Yu-Gi-Oh? Batman? Pokemon? Gundam? Teen Titans? None of these shows would have existed if they weren't selling toys.
You can hear me as Icarus in the trailer for the new survival game Permafrost! Thanks so much to @alecshea.com for bringing me on board 😊 youtube.com/watch?v=WoY5...

I finally get to tell you about Curiosities. I have a new album coming out Nov 13 that contains a murder ballad, a sea shanty, and a song about Roswell among other curious things. I can’t wait for you to hear it! Preorder on Kickstarter to help fund acoustic sessions, videos, and a live show!

Finished rewatching Tenchi Universe. Animation in a TV anime will always look a little less good than an OVA, that's just to be expected. But it's still fun, and despite maybe a couple filler-feeling episodes, by the time you reach the end it's very sweet and earnest. Wrote a little on Letterboxd.

If you're exhibiting at #Paxaus for the first time and feeling a bit overwhelmed, or even if you're just a little unsure of it all, here is my epic tradeshow thread to help you out 😃 (I meant to post this weeks ago but I swear August was only like 6 days long this year...) #gamedev #indiedev #pax
PAX Aus is fast approaching! Last year I posted a thread of tips and advice for indies exhibiting at the show on the site formally known as Twitter. Here's an updated and expanded thread for this year (settle in, its a long one) 😀 #pax #paxaus #indiedev #gamedev @paxaus.bsky.social
See also AI captions - I used to work as a captioner and they introduced AI to "make workflow faster" and it ended up being more work because I had to keep fixing the fact a computer does not understand the nuance of language context Now it's all AI and it's garbage
Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

Joining me will be @angelatran.bsky.social, @sianluxford.com, and @alecshea.com as we improv new characters based on some classic video game characters~ There'll be laughs, blunders, and a chance to learn how pro VAs use their craft to develop voices for characters in video games.
