Only just woke up from my post #GDC2025 stupor and changed my display name back to normal. Soon is in the past! Back to making cool audio tech 🤖

Wow Wednesday of #GDC2025 was so packed with #GameAudio awesomeness, from @schmid.dk’s Cocoon talk to a vibrant audio programmer meet-up in the evening, so much so that I overslept this morning 😴😅 roll on Thursday! #GameAudioGDC
