I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.
I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.
If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Imposter syndrome is a construct that's by design racist and against gender minorities. whiteness, cisness, hetero male status, all intersections of privilege make it less likely for a person's skill to be judged unfairly, and reduce pressure to be humble to fit in.
So I choose to not have it. 💜
So I choose to not have it. 💜
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Free Palestine, hands off Iran (that Mosad and Trump constantly interfere in), hands off Venezuela. Western imperialism is brazen and inhumane.

whenever I'm like "hey if there's no game jobs, then there's no game jobs, I'll just quit already", I'll get a message like this, and it makes me realize.
We're indies, we share knowledge and skills, and help each other out. That's what this industry is about, for me.

So I learned recently that you're the pixel artist that did the assets for Unity's isometric 2D tutorial. Little Rocket Lab actually started from that exact tutorial and was build into what it is today. So thank you for helping me get my start on the game!

It's so cool that IDW let me do pixelart. Pixelart is just a medium of illustration, it doesn't have to mean side-scrolling nintendo game.

my thought process while making the
pixelvision8 palette ( lospec.com/palette-list...)
- no pure black/ white, for extra character
- colors that can produce loong color ramps e.g. white-yellow-orange-red-purple-black
- at least one definite 4 color grayscale (gameboy) ramp
