Can’t believe I have to do this again this year: the Pandora Karaoke bar is where a BUNCH of us got our drinks spiked a few GDC ago, & from what I’ve learn from the investigation it was a bartender that drugged people.
Avoid this place. And make sure your friends are safe if they are there.

Any time tech is pushing a top-down narrative that some shitty new thing is a foregone inevitability, it's because they know it won't be adopted organically.
It's not a coincidence that genAI became the aesthetic of this wave of technocratic fascism. Don't assist them.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Hey, friends.
I know the world is ablaze, and my problems are minor, but I need to take a chance.
I love making music for games. 2023-2024 saw 5 projects I was working on get cancelled, and their studios shut down, and I haven't written a note since June.*
Got any games that need music?

Wait? Just watch how they treat the Arabs.
if you think the Meta announcements are bad (they are), wait until you see what the struggling television, film & games industry does in the wake of neo-fascism
it will all be creatively bankrupt, it will all eventually backfire & explode in their faces, but we are in for quite a few years of it

My gamedev company - Moonana - is currently going bankrupt slowly after 7 years of hard work and being able to pay all staff (an indiedev miracle). We've made a christmas game to thank our fans over the years and say our goodbyes worse comes to be. This is a thread on our history & our newest title.

Here’s a blog post about a dream I won’t give up on due to arguably unhealthy amounts of hope and spite
The constant almosts of my game composing career
Remember not too long ago when I wrote about ? Well, it's time for me to hold myself to that!
I tend to get really reflective toward the end of the year....
