I'll be heading to #egx London this month!

If any game studio or gaming-adjacent brand representatives are heading there too, I'd love to chat about the @ivgorchestra.com and our plans for next year: big, ambitious plans with a massive orchestra and well known special guests 👀

Oct 24-26! #vgm

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Always fun to get these types of comments. Fellow content creators, what's your way of dealing with a negative Nancy?

Our new tactic is to pin them.
#youtube #vgm

Youtube comment pinned that says "That was truly awful. Don't give up your day jobs".

Reply stating "Thank you for watching! As we are all volunteers, we do have day jobs."

It's been a busy 24 hours of coding, editing videos, after effects stuff on top, making shorts, scheduling shorts, sharing shorts, and all the other social media tasks that aren't my favourite thing in the world to do

But now, it's lunch time, and I am taking an hour to play Tactics! #finalfantasy
