Coming out of hiding to say, I very, very much look forward to #Fallout season 2

New Vegas was my first game as a full fledged sound designer, and the first game I shipped at Obsidian. To see it come to life this way is all kinds of nostalgic 🥹

Color me delightfully surprised to see that after 9 years, the OST to Tyranny from Obsidian is available to stream today 😮

Of all the things to wake up to this morning, this would not have been my first guess!

If you're looking for the JBell deep cut? This is it for sure

Thank you for always listening... this is for you.

Enjoy 💙

I haven't done this in a loooong time. Feels good 🎵

(no it has nothing to do with work...)

Hearing Hope, the theme I wrote for The Outer Worlds in #SecretLevel Ep9 and in #TheOuterWorlds2 trailer premier at #thegamersawards got me feeling emotional

It's AWESOME to hear @Obsidian nod to the foundation, and I'm exciting to see and hear how they're evolving the game! 💙

No one ever tells you this, but being a parent also gives you the opportunity to perfect imitating all the Sesame Street character voices

Everyone's career journey is different. Here's my 🧵

- Barely graduated high school
- Went to community college after. Got D's & F's
- Dropped out, got a job at a bank in a call center, met my future wife
- She was a year younger & 1 year away from earning 2 bachelor's degrees. I was 3 years behind

AI bros talking about how they use AI:

I just directed my first feature length trilogy where I mashup Sesame Street in the style of Stanley Kubrick speaking in sumerian

Me using AI:

Write an excel formula that removes all the numbers

Question for audio folks still here. Looking for a sub $200 USB audio interface with a really nice headphone amp that can drive 60+ ohm headphones. Other I/O doesn't matter as much. Does this exist??

Cross posting from LinkedIn wrt advice to someone who is looking to transfer from audio post to game audio. This is just my opinion, there's lots more to it than this, so consider this just one, high-level way of looking at it🧵

Fighting is what got us here. There's been plenty of fighting, and look at what it's done?

Some of us just want to get through the day, to live our lives in peace. Fight? It's exhausting

Let's stop fighting. Let's have peace. But we can't have peace when the message is "fight"
