Video game person, sound designer, musician, sim racer, mostly pleasant human, sleepy little guy. Be good, work hard. I do all the audio stuff at Ruckus Games. Opinions my own, but they should be yours too.
TOEM 2 is OUT NOW on Steam, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, and PlayStation 5!
Ready your cameras and get ready to run, jump, and climb your way through cozy environments, uncover hidden paths, check out scenic viewpoints, and help out new friends.

Had a chance today to remember one of my favorite bands of all time and how I learned about them. Which was through a CD sampler I bought for $6 at a Taco Bell in 1994. Lotion deserved better, Full Isaac still slaps all these years later. youtu.be/HvRO_Y02SIY?...
When I was living in Sweden, biking or walking to public transit was the main way of getting around year round. The infrastructure for biking is built into the city.
Re: “people don’t bike in the winter”, let’s think about places where people bike more: the Netherlands, Denmark, Berlin, Paris. Not great weather
Places in Southern Europe with great weather and no winter (Italy, Greece) don’t have large biking numbers
It’s not the weather. It’s infrastructure
Someone just asked me for horror film recs, and I realized I’ve forgotten more films than I remember. I was struck by a sudden sadness at not having recorded in a list every movie I’ve seen and album I’ve listened to. I’d have a richer life to be able to revisit every single thing. Books too.
Having been “in charge” of audio things on different projects for some time now, I can say that one should not strive for it, one should strive only to sit amongst the trees and dawdle.
I have finished reading all 8 Dungeon Crawler Carl books. I started reading the first one just so when people asked me about it, I could tell them why it was bad from a place of knowledge, instead I am now an evangelist. My favorite part is it has undercurrent of anti-colonialism and pro-socialism.
It’s just really great world building, a non-stop action writing style, and a story that carries an equal amount of mystery and discovery… like a well made video game or ttrpg.

Live report from the Minnesota State Fair, located in the heart of American democracy, where there’s an ICE Out adaptation of Picasso’s Guernica made entirely from crops
New in PN: The old kingmaker magic is gone
"Trump simply wades into any and every contest with flatulent assurance, endorsing anyone who most shamelessly flatters him. And so he repeatedly finds himself blessing scoundrels, abusers, and liars — his own people, in other words."
Bottom of the bug zapper was filled with the bodies of tiny, charred men again. My pastor assures me that souls can't fit in bodies that small, but he also keeps asking if he can pop one in his mouth, "Just to see," so I think he has motives outside the Lord.
"Wrestling is the Rosetta Stone for Trumpism. Some readers rebel against this idea, but I want you to hear me out. The parallels between Terry Bollea, Hulkamania, Trump, and MAGA will drop you like a heart attack."
Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:
Having a real middle aged white guy moment. Listening to a Steely Dan album for the first time while doing yard work and feel like I am having an epiphany. I have heard most of these songs before but I’ve never really HEARD them, man.

We've started doing some dev "co working" live streams with folks from @ruckus-games.com check out part 1 of our art director Scott Kester flappin' his jaw about art for games, and art in general, and other things, Scott is a complicated man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYW7...
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
I watch a lot of racing these days, and NASCAR is great because of things like this, “Clemmons is coming into the pits and telling the team he wants a little more tug in the rear, so I think that means they are gonna snug him
up.”

He suggested that everyone read Iain Banks for a vision of the future, and Beddoes pointed out that Banks was a socialist. Musk insisted he wasn’t. Musk said he wanted a Star Trek version of the future, which is also a version of the future that is routinely referred to as “space communism.”
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
Every time one of these huge layoffs hit I have to stop working for a bit to gather myself. It just spikes my anxiety, and I feel so bad for everyone, often people I know. Every number a life, every decision that led to the disruption of their lives is not their fault. We just want to make games.
Listen and drink, friends!

It's hilarious how the right shares photos and videos of Mamdani and the people he has surrounded himself with, they are always smiling, and surrounded by smiling people, happy, healthy, doing good things, and they say, "look at these people, they are evil and want to kill you."
I was making myself a Caesar chicken wrap for lunch, I had been thinking about it since I woke up. I opened a jar of pickles and spilled pickle juice all over the counter and floor, and immediately cried out to know one at all “god dammit it’s always something!” That is what being a grown up is.
I mean, come on, I'm going to buy it play it, and be totally impressed by the spectacle. In all seriousness, we're looking at the release of what is probably going to be one of the most systematically complex, and graphically impressive achievements in our industry ever... outside of Caves of Qud.
Hey, everyone, I don't post much because I am very busy making a video game. I had an idea while I was standing by the alien captives taking some notes a few weeks ago, and the social media team at @ruckus-games.com shared my vision, so I'd like to share it with you now. youtu.be/k9TRqPvQwwo?...
