Germericana wiggly air wizard, mediocre artist, "eco conservationist", "pretty much a communist", and (unfortunately) professional Linux software engineer.

Sometimes I make things. Sometimes I even enjoy it.

I've been reading through a recording engineering book and I wanted to take another crack at this one I've shared on other Meedz platforms before.

I think I'll have to find a quieter chair next time, but what do you think of the new setup?

The rhetoric that "if you aren't using AI, your competitors are using it to get ahead of you" is tech company marketing BS and people are repeating the grift. LLMs cannot come up with new ideas. We have to teach critical thinking, problem solving, reading books, trying/failing at new things.

How did this book club turn into a nap club?

Sounds like a pretty good start to a cozy adventure. What do you think?

I love receiving packages from FountainFeder.de. It's like getting a box from an old friend.

Is this what opening the Necronomicon for the first time feels like? 😬

That feel when your PR is merged on the first try after the last one took a LOT of correcting.

After almost 20 minutes of near-constant complaints, the grumpy one FINALLY figured out that I wanted to be carried in a *box* and not in his arms like some kind peasant.

It's so hard to find good help these days...

Boy, they sure don't make em like they used to.

I recently read that job seekers should message people directly at companies about referrals rather than applying through a job portal.
That seems very... Well, how would you feel about a LinkedIn msg from a stranger w/ no mutuals asking about a job?

PROtip: If at any point in the build process you think to yourself, "Huh, maybe it's a file permission issue?" Just go check your file/folder perms.

Future you will thank you for saving yourself several hours of headdesking and angry typing. 😬

Is it... normal to curse this much at Visual Studio when working with an #unrealengine project?

Asking for... a "friend". 😐

"Well, it seems like the lead dev bailed before we could finish the project. Hopefully we can work out the rest of the puzzle mechanics on our own."

I mean, I've written some C++ before and I know how to use Google, how hard could it be? 😬

Hey #gamedevjobs, what kind of strategy would you recommend to someone who is trying to transition from another tech sector (e.g. Enterprise DevOps/Java webapp perf tuning) into #gameaudio rather than someone just starting out?

Is it still "Build a demo reel, network, get lucky" regardless of exp?

Every AI CEO talks about how their technology "enables" "creators" to "tell more stories"—stories are now being used interchangeably with content, thanks to the planet's least imaginative people.

"Hey guys, is there anything I can do help with implementation?"
"Can you get this sound trigger to play two things at once?"
"Probably. I mean, how hard could it be?" 😬
