I thought the money from me alone would've been plenty to keep Native Instruments around 3 more years at least.
My Fantasy: Fabfilter buys them & then makes their own DAW that's a licensed skin of REAPER but it's Fabfilter beautiful & it has Izotope RX built into every audio region. & world peace.

the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially.
I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game.
Pixel approved!
Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Big news: Canada changed their citizenship rules and now if you've ever had a direct ancestor who was a citizen, you are now automatically a citizen too! www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...
I've been sharing this around, and I know a few people who've discovered they're now Canadian citizens!

I am begging Steinberg to make Cubase run on Linux (even though it'll probably never happen)
Living with Windows has always been a calculus of how useful it is professionally vs. the amount of unbearable shit you gotta disable with a script and I think we reached a tipping point where it’s majority unbearable shit.

I think the way for artists to combat ai slop in 2026 is to lean hard into showing process & WIP. No ai user is going to generate days or weeks of work in progress images & post them because they want to entirely slip the work part.
Embrace the process & let everyone see it.

This. Spec work of any kind is anti-labour and should not be legal.
Also it isn't something creatives can just "not do," there are tons of artists who need the work and can't pass up the chance. It's a catch-22, needing change by the very people it benefits... or government regulation, please?

I've heard from a LOT of people that larian demands an especially lengthy and involved, totally unpaid writing test from narrative applicants and: can we not do that. Can we have some basic respect for applicants' time and not lean on fame/desirability to exploit them
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with
