I tried to generate a Game Music feed for Bluesky.
Some results still seem off, so if someone knows how to make it better, I wouldn’t mind some advice!
Cheers!

He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Cool new feature on the Nintendo Music app. It even changes automatically every hour.
I just wished they had a real audio engine allowing more flexibility, layers, etc.

It's not the first time I hear the term 水商売 to designate musicians' livelihood. The Japanese definition says "business with an income depending on popularity and client's will" so, yes, a music career does sounds like 水商売 to me, especially in Japan.
Veteran music critic, 89 year old Reiko Yukawa, brought down the wrath of BABYMETAL fans when she compared the band set-up to 水商売 (mizu shobai) activities. She has countered critics by saying the term means something different to them. than to her generation. smart-flash.jp/entame/366974/

A good reminder that pizza can be written and pronounced two different ways in Japanese: ピザ (piza) and ピッツァ (pi:tsa).

Do people who think games must be made quicker play? There are brilliant games releasing every week and our backlogs keep increasing. As usual, what we need is less and better.
At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

The fact that it's limited to music we bought is a good idea but there are tracks I own elsewhere and would still like to share.
