My eye has been twitching for the last few days, and I can't help but think of Deltarune Chapter 2

I worked on a horror game as a Senior Sound Designer! 🚪👻

Someone at GameSoundCon gave me the fantastic idea to put together a compilation video of Twitch streamers' reactions to my jump scare sound. I saved the best for last 😂

I saw someone wearing a round Minion bag on the street. For a split second, I thought to myself, "wait why are they wearing a Soundminer bag?"

I got the most pleasant jump scare while playing DAVE THE DIVER 🃏

This one's technically a re-upload from my YouTube channel.

If I were to re-film, I would have definitely featured these guys in the video 🌿🍂

Although I haven't played a Mega Man game before, for some reason, this OST somehow feels instantly nostalgic ✨🌠

Sonic was a big part of my childhood! My brother and I bonded over playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic Heroes together. Of course, I was Player 2 as Tails 🦔🦊

(Hooray to Bluesky finally letting us upload longer videos!!)

BIG thank you to @audiokinetic.bsky.social for hosting a free talk at #GameAudioGDC for Split Fiction: An Audio Breakdown!!

I had a blast playing this game with my partner. Getting to learn from Philip and Joakim on how they mixed for a split-screen couch co-op game was one of my GDC highlights. 🤩
