If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Dr. Who,” or “Transformers.”

After Microsoft laid off 9000 employees, Xbox producer Matt Turnbull suggested affected workers use AI to “reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss” Xbox producer Matt Turnbull has been criticised for telling employees laid off in Microsoft cost-cutting to use AI to find new jobs.

I hated Unity before it was cool

In Barcelona soaking up the sights, and of course sounds, of this wonderfully inspiring city 🇪🇸

Any other #gameaudio Barcelona folks here on Bluesky? Let's connect 🔗

Nomad coffee legit ☕️

See you tonight, bud!

Here’s a bit take that will inflame you all:
Cory Wong and Sam Greenfield = better Mario Kart music!

Game "journalists" who say $80 Mario Kart World is "33%more expensive" than when it was $60 probably never heard of inflation. The sad reality is that in a post-covid economy where you guys decided to elect a rapist bully mafioso Russian agent, $80 in 2025 is exactly the same as $60 in 2017.

Donkey Kong’s voice in the Bananza trailer sounds exactly as if it were made by anyone but Nintendo. Nothing special, nothing to give him a personality, the absolute most generic “big guy” voice they could find.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

You know that rare and precious feeling when within the first few minutes you know this is gonna be a classic and one of the best game you’ve ever played?

Having such a good time with #LoreleiAndTheLaserEyes

Ok it’s been a few loops, imma hit “new game” and focus

Just bought and fired up Lorelei And The Laser Eyes. I haven’t even started playing because I’m struck by this much personality and originality in the title screen music. I’m just sitting here, listening and appreciating all the different things it might be foreshadowing about the game.

The freedom to pilfer, steal, and plunder creativity the UK is formally going to give to AI companies is absolutely staggering. If you're in the UK, take this stand right now. This is a fence that you can't put back up if it passes you, and it will kill the UK creative sector.

Probably a long shot but any #gameaudio or #gamedev folks in Bali? I’m there for another 4 weeks

Amazing! And followed! Thanks for the reco!

Welcome Peter! You’re one of my game music heroes!

🤯 are you kidding me

YouTube video by Ensemble G.A.P. TOKYO ゼルダの伝説 ブレス オブ ザ ワイルド　第一回演奏会 / The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild　THE FIRST CONCERT

This might be the best vgm concert I've ever seen! The live rendition of even the most peculiar bits of Breath of the Wild are incredible. Can't even pick a favourite bit! If you love this OST or just need a masterclass in orchestration: must watch! Also no conductor?

Hi Bluesky friends!
I promise I won't do this all the time, but I put together a neat little demo reel of a few projects I've worked on!
If any of you need melodically-rich, (potentially) award-winning music for your games, hit me up!

I have a joke about game development. You won’t hear it though because we didn’t plan for audio until after the punchline.

The game industry is rough right now for a lot of people. It sucks. Business can be brutal. But I don't believe that means WE should be brutal. Times like these are all the more reason to be kind to one another.

If we give up our humanity in order to survive, what is the point of survival?

So let’s test this new video feature!
Here’s a bit of Heavy Heads from New Super Lucky’s Tale, with the melody muted. I was always proud of the arrangement (because it took me basically a year of iteration and rewrites to get there!) and thought it already told a “full”
story without the melody🙂

I guess I belong as well? :)

Lol at Hollywood still writing stories where governments/police give a shit about people being in danger

Email from William and Mary about the outcome of a job search that I applied for over a decade ago. Must've been very competitive.

Absolutely incredible email this afternoon.

Got this beauty in the mail today!

I liked Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and I’m watching it for a second time. Is something wrong with me?

Just spent a few hours shopping, organising, then cooking for my mum then doing dishes and cleaning the kitchen. Decided to unwind with a game after that. After 20 minutes I realised I was unwinding playing Unpacking. Did a double take at a non existent camera and thought something’s wrong with me..
