I got a bunch of posters back when I first started on Dota 2 from Valve. It only took a couple years to hang them up.

teamLabs is very easy to get lost in. These are a few shots while I was lost.
I wish I’d filmed more in Japan. Editing and color grading is actually pretty fun.

Of the loot I acquired from a recent Japan trip, I think picking up The Great Gatsby in Japanese was very off the cuff.
It’s also the 100 year anniversary edition.

Curry craving follows me back from Japan all the time. Thinking about making Soba too.

I think about Musashi’s life sometimes.
Be the best at something, retire to a mountain, write a book, don’t explain anything.
Maybe. Minus the duels to the death.
Might be doing a road trip with local friends the next time I’m in Japan.

The past three years of games have covered a wide gamut of emotional and character arcs set in a variety of worlds.
Playing games reminds me of why I even got into game dev in the first place.

JPL brings the hype every year. And this year, I got to help bring the magic to his voice with some audio sorcery.

I got to do voice design for this year’s Dota International. So I got this year’s coffee mug. TI starts tomorrow!

More scripts. These ones help me stay organized and deliver game ready dialogue to spec.
Only took me three tries to make the social media version of these videos have an actual thumbnail.

Previously I talked about an auto renaming tool I made for Reaper. The region creator is how that auto-renamer can work in the first place.
And for those that didn’t know: video game scripts are largely written in Excel. Everyone’s favorite characters are spreadsheets.

Labbing my Reaper scripts in a test session is only half the equation. At some point, I had to test them on a commercial session.
Because I found some bugs and logic errors I made.

I got Mario Golf on sale. First two hours: time to make Miis of characters I work with instead of golfing.
Good start for now.

I made an Auto Renamer tool in Reaper. It takes regions (that have the filenames the file itself must have from another script I will talk about later) and forces the file to have that filename in the session.

On a finishing trajectory for Arceus. Currently: a Munchlax eludes me. I found a Snorlax way earlier.

Apparently what I do between projects is to think mostly about how to do those projects better. One thing I've learned recently with programming is to be a bit more judicial with descriptive constants so I'm not leaving magic numbers all over the place. I decided to listen to that advice.

Sound editing comes with a lot of problems that need solving. Letting the computer solve some of that for me is how I can be motivated to look for the fifth to last selected take 800 lines into an editing day. Scripting is how I let the computer handle the mundane details so I can focus on editing.

Been awhile since I last talked about anything in my world. Just been learning Wwise a step at a time. I figured out the LFE workflow for surround mixes (which you can’t hear on mobile).
Been doing a lot of mixing lately otherwise.

Went to Anime Wonder and had good chats with people I know there and walked up a mountain that is also an arboretum. I successfully made it out of the studio today.

My brother only slightly nudged me. But it looks like I’ve got a Saturday day trip and maybe catch up with some folks I know there.
Because on Sunday my family wants me to grill food for them.

For a twenty year old keyboard, this thing still feels great (after a cleaning). Sucks that the spacebar is a see-saw though.
Until I find a solution that doesn’t involve super glue/melting plastic, I have tape to help me feel the actuation range.

Finally hooked up a cheap and crappy cassette deck I got awhile back to see what it does with recording.
What it does is kill high frequencies. Looks like I’ll need to exaggerate the high end when recording into cassette.

What’s the strategy when you live in a neighborhood of chatty dogs and people who like flying aircraft? And you want to record? Be louder.
More seriously, three trombone part recording is fun. I need to work on my intonation.
