Shoutout to these folks for taking a theme that already sounded for all the world like it was meant to be a Sondheim duet and making it actually BE that thing

Thank you 💚

I had a wonderful time arranging "Kingdom Trial" for woodwind quartet on this album. Chambers of Time comes out this Friday, but you can pre-order it on Bandcamp right now!

if musicians not getting paid wasn't enough for you, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek investing 600 million euros in an AI war company wasn't enough for you, does having to upload your ID and turn on your webcam to listen to music finally convince you not to pay Spotify?

A beautiful project celebrating chamber-style arrangements, GameGrooves' most diverse array of artists, and of course... CHRONO TRIGGER ⌚

I contribute this trailer and mixing @allisonmartintrombone.com stupendous dinosaur trombone quartet this time!

Buried in my thread, but want to stress this. We know calls led to MasterCard customer service escalating the censorship issue to MasterCard HQ. And now we know Visa has a dedicated backend team around addressing the Steam / itchio adult content policy. Something is going on BTS

Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla...

Hello to all my fellow boring file and rank leftists on the phone with Visa right now, calmly and politely telling their CS representative we won’t be emailing instead and logging our complaints. It’s how the conservatives pressure, and it works for them! Let’s try it.
Visa’s number: 1-800-847-2911

hello sizeable following of mine: please do this. this would be good to do. we cannot keep letting hate groups bully their way into censoring the internet, and ESPECIALLY not when it's australian hate groups. that's a D list hate group right there.

anyways i'll be calling too shortly. join me o7

Anyway, time to call and email Visa and Mastercard. I suggest you all do the same.

Additionally, sign this petition from the ACLU.

Phil Spencer says Xbox 'has never looked stronger' as Microsoft confirms layoffs of around 9,000 Spencer wrote to employees that Xbox's current success is 'based on tough decisions we've made previously.'

My condolences to all of my friends and peers being affected by this today. The past three years have felt like a death march for the industry and it doesn't feel like it's going to get better anytime soon.
