Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

There's a video out there of ice lynching a man. Don't watch it. It will not help you or others to traumatize yourself.

Spend the time you would have spent watching it/wanting to vomit and scream making a donation to somewhere in Minnesota, or if you can't, researching where you can help locally.

I still see Sebastian Wolff being a speaker at major industry events (Lookin at you GameSoundCon)

If you're new to the the game audio industry I urge you to read Mello's post and inform yourself

Imo,SW is a threat to the game audio industry and I stand by sharing info so that others dont get hurt

You know the field you're working on is in good hands when "burn out is good, actually" is just one (1) of the several unhinged public CEO takes that started discourse in 2026, which has been going on for (checks calendar) 14 days

Newsletter — Hi! I'm Neha

✨I'm launching my newsletter TOMORROW! Sign up to get tips on freelancing in the games industry!✨

It's uh, very scary writing stuff to the public like this but I think it's super important that we talk openly about money, rates, and anything to help us survive financially

# Freelancing

You dream of eating the rich, being independent from the giant game conglomerates and making games that hold true to your values. That’s all great but how the hell do you do that AND financially survive!?

This post is THE ultra basic. Stuff you ideally do before going into freelancing but hey, it’s never too late to better ourselves. We’re covering the foundations of financial literacy and how it applies to freelancing

Topics covered:

- Why you should be financial literate
- Knowing your expenses and budgeting
- Basic tools and resources
- Get a Job
- Answering your questions!

We need more of this, and is why I include an anti-genAI clause in my freelance contracts.

Man come on

This is pretty dire. And if you work in or play games, you should be concerned even if you have no interest in playing this one, or games like it. This is smoke on the horizon heading your way. You need to care.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

For a fraction of the cost, I can make placeholders for you that are guaranteed to slip through to final build and far beyond.
