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?

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

I've been making my way through Twin Peaks: The Return, I don't know why I had the impression that People™️ didn't love it. Man it rules.
Lynch's ability to start something as kind of unassuming and curious then push it towards unsettling and frightening with very little changing is just so good

One of the best things when I'm confident in what I'm good at is being ok in admitting what I'm not good at and not letting my ego get in the way of asking for advice

Wondering why I'm so exhausted after recording when I sat tense in one position craning my body so my clothing rustle is away from the mics holding my breath and repeating the same action 40 times wondering if I got enough takes for 2 hours

I'm sorry but the Twin Peaks Windom Earle storyline is just too much.
Cooper: "the man is a twisted genius who moves as if on a chessboard, only the gods know the depths of his unknowable logic"
Windom: "I'm gonna kill these specific people at this time and place and warn you well in advance"
