Hello, new followers! I am primarily a game music composer even though you might not know it looking at what I normally skeet. You're in for /a lot/ of very, very leftist politics, despair at how the game industry is destroying itself, and a ton of vitriol toward genAI. Welcome! 🌻

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

As funny as @queencokefrancis.com is, this is still intensely depressing. I guess this really is what we're fighting, isn't it? A complete disregard for truth in favor of religious zealotry and hatred of science.

For my fellow coffee enjoyers - wouldn't hurt to do this in other countries too, just to send a message.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I love all of this. The entire industry, and the way people think about games, needs to change.
Sat down for a lovely chat with @clert.bsky.social over @eurogamer.bsky.social To talk about my games and how I'd like to keep making and improving them sustainably. To step away from the launch, meme and hype driven madness that has taken root in games.

Look. I know. Yes. Sure. But.
Imagine.
What if all this money, hoarded and funneled between stupidly rich people busy pissing away our world for the vague promise of a line going up. What if it was just... taken from them. Every single cent.
And used for actual good. To help everyone.

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses.
However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.
