If you're working on a game, I would like to help you with your next project. I do sound design and audio implementation as well as compose music. Checkout my work: SFX reel youtube.com/watch?v=0Ges... General music youtube.com/playlist?lis... Let's make something awesome!

It's also the improvement and satisfaction that comes with each song being finished. I learn so much each time I work on another song. I get inspired listening to other song writers and I push myself to be better. The goal is growth and improvement. Gen AI can't offer that.

Why I don't use Gen AI: I was working on a song that just wasn't coming together. After some thoughts, finally had a spark and I found something that worked. The excitement and joy that comes from plodding until I finally make it work is the reason. Gen AI can't offer that. cont

@Borderlands @NVIDIAGeForce Borderlands 4 RTX I went to visit a friend out of state who was going through a hard time back in 2009. He'd just gotten BL1 for XBox. We played all night and laughed so much. That got me hooked on the BL series and I still think about that whenever I play a BL game.

VAULT HUNTERS TAP IN 🎮 To celebrate Borderlands 4 featuring DLSS + Reflex, we're giving away this custom @NVIDIAGeForce RTX 5090 featuring featuring Rafa, the Exo-Soldier! ⚡ Tell us your favorite Borderlands memory & use "Borderlands 4 RTX" to enter!

Since it's been a week, I just want to say how much I have enjoyed BL4 @Borderlands I've had so much fun exploring the world, playing the missions, and doing the side quests. Absolute huge kudos to all the devs for making such a fun game. I can see the hard work you all did.

@AMerrittAudio @UnfinishedPixel Awesome. I can't wait to hear more about your work on this. Congrats!!

I'm super excited to announce that I'm working on Blightstone with @UnfinishedPixel! I've been having a really good time working on this project so far and I'm excited to see it all come together! #sounddesign #gameaudio #sfx

In today's episode of "how did I hurt myself": I sprained my neck ... while adjusting my pillows in bed. *sigh*

DICE DJENT!! Can't think of a pattern? Randomize it! Check out how I use a D6 to create a breakdown. Feel free to use this idea and create your own patterns and show me what you make. #djent #dnd #mathrock #metal #dice #criticalrole

@TinyBookGames You can never go wrong with screaming into the void. Beyond that, probably mechanics and programming.

What sort of gamedev task should I work on tonight? • Sprites, walk-cycle animation stuff • Title screen, working 'draft' • Layout work, background elements • Screaming into the void • Mechanics, programming • Structure, planning, variable stacking 🤔

@ABCMilkman While the darker tones of some superhero stories creates interesting narrative choices, making them just plain amoral (or even immoral) is not interesting. Why should we root for them? What makes them the good heroes?

@envatilea I just started rewatching Bleach on Hulu and just came across this. Which characters do you still need filled? I can think of a couple that I could possibly match.

‼ collab interest check (RT appreciated) for ✨Bleach Stage Play✨cover my bazillion projects aside, this has been my brain worm for the past couple of months and I really want to do this one as my big year-end project. More details 🧵

@FrankIppolito @VerizonSupport I've had T-Mobile now for quite a few years (got a deal with work). So far it's been great. Data and Hotspot are always fast when I'm on 5G or 4G/LTE. Had my fair share of issues, but I've been just as happy with them as I was with AT&T.

@theflightmusic I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that. It's frustrating when people are angry just to be angry. I wish more people would just move on and let people enjoy the things they enjoy. It seems like people believe hating things is a personality.

Why is everyone so angry all the time? I make music for fun stuff, it’s literally just things for people to watch, listen to, or play with. All of it is supposed to make people happy. Why is it so hard for people to just play the stuff they like and leave the stuff they don’t??

While I still enjoy the occasional AAA game, I've been getting more and more into indie (genre & actual indie) games. The lower price, the smaller downloads, and the focus on a few core mechanics that they do really well. Cat Quest 2 & 3, Islets, Crypt Custodian.

@BlackCatBonfeed @austinpetsalive so cute!!

@tha_rami LOL this feels like something out of Risk of Rain 2.

@TransientGamers Oh no!! So sorry to hear that. Praying and wishing you a successful treatment for the cancer.

@EricVBailey Thanks. I know that when learning something, sometimes you just want to talk about it because you're excited you finally understand a topic. It's hard to talk about it with those who aren't theory nerds, so if you're looking to be excited about it I'll be just as excited.

@BrianCeelyAudio I'll keep you in mind as a resource if I have a quick question maybe! I'm at a fun point of just starting to grasp the feeling a chord progression can convey, even if it takes me a bit to figure out how to put that into software haha. But I'll be reading/practicing a lot soon.

The primary reason I'm trying to learn some basic music theory/composition stuff lately is so I can make my own, better tracks for my game development. The secondary reason is just to someday revisit this thread with a whole other layer of appreciation for its greatness.
