Eidolon

Yeah his lines are a bit too Marvel but honestly actually sitting and playing the game he is not really annoying and David Goldstein's performance for him is absolutely stellar.

Myles MacKenzie looks like Rick Moranis in his concept art and it now makes sense

oh my god rob swire wants to do *another* pendulum album?? *next year*???

Anyway tomorrow/in 5 hours is the last Bandcamp Friday of the year so go buy some music from musicians you like. A few dollars directly spent is worth a lot of streams and goes a long way for independent artists and small labels, especially compared to Spotify's royalty system.

YouTube video by Pendulum - Topic Cartagena

I'd be remiss to skip Pendulum's Inertia, which is mostly a compilation of the previous 2 EPs plus a final EP's worth of new tracks, varying in style from the Hold Your Colour era to some very new takes from Rob Swire. Cartagena feels like another send-off for the Pendulum name.

Anyway, by Anamanaguchi 12 track album

Anamanaguchi's record label bought the American Football house to prevent it being demolished. Amananaguchi's new album features it on its cover with a distinctly different tone from their usual music. You're a real one Darcie

The Origin: Music from Eviternity II, by Tristan Clark 18 track album

I should have linked the Bandcamp for the Eviternity II album tristanclark.bandcamp.com/album/the-or...

Dead Channel Sky Plus, by clipping. 24 track album

Welcome Home Warrior is precisely what I would have expected from a clipping. and Aesop Rock collab. Dead Channel Sky meets the moment.

YouTube video by Tristan Clark Tristan Clark - The Longest Night

The Doom community is full of brilliantly creative people and Tristan Clark is no exception. His arrangements of Eviternity II music are a perfect fit as red book audio for a hypothetical SEGA Saturn port, if that was even possible.

YouTube video by Official DEZOLVE DEZOLVE - Heart of the World（Studio Live）

Mario Kart World's soundtrack was fucking STELLAR and I hardly see anyone praising it for the genius it is. But the artists involved are also amazing - I dug through DEZOLVE's backlog a lot and it's full of gold

Sunk Cost Fallacy, by Fox Stevenson 14 track album

Fox Stevenson's new album Sunk Cost Fallacy was excellent as ever. Exile is a Habit is a bitter one to listen to. Tryhard is a banger too. You will definitely hear this one from my car on the freeway

contrast, by shiey 7 track album

I got really into shiey's Illegal Freedom urbex videos and found his music as well. intervals is a good track from this one. Maybe don't stand on the rotating climate control equipment on a skyscraper though that's pretty risky

Paradigms, by Hotel Pools & Brothertiger 8 track album

Brothertiger and Hotel Pools' collab album also got lots of play time. Haze is a new favorite Brothertiger song. Spacey, thoughtful synthwave.

I don't have a wrapped because Spotify sucks. But Cult Subterranea got plenty of front-to-back plays, and I got to learn about Drowned God which is a hell of a rabbit hole.

it's december finally time to post christmas gurdy and her long chocobo

unity seems to be 5% a game engine and 95% a way to generate Transactions by letting people sell each other various fragments of middleware in the hope that some day they might assemble a working game engine if they spend enough money

exactlyyyy

work culture is destroying people so bad it’s making them wanna tf into the flatwoods monster

Oh to be an indecipherable mass in a grainy night photograph in the woods. Sighs wistfully

This is my I need to be awake in 5 hours and I can't sleep posting time

I bet being a big scary night monster is nice. You could take bites out of trees for fun and you don't have to go to work

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Z-Billboard + Y to Velocity with some creative velocity configuration maybe? otherwise you'd have to drop down to quad geom node "particles" with a vertex shader taking a root node's world transform as a uniform parameter to do the billboarding manually

(Marty McFly is real art; the artist showed an Illustrator screenshot with the layers)

Uh oh, I actually really like borderlands 3

I was like "wait isn't Latata an insanely popular song"

it is!

the song in Fortnite is not that song. it is something Suno-generated using the same name with a fake k-pop band.

I wonder why Tim Sweeney is so mad about the Steam AI disclaimer now!

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.
