Really wanted to participate in airwiggles’s audio challenge this month but we’re doing renovation work and it’s just not happening. Maybe next time

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

It's also the day for my favorite meme!

If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Jadzia Dax and Kor hugging: "Curzon, my beloved old friend." "I'm Jadzia now." "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

so I tried this trackball for a week or so, not quite sure what I thought, and then the conclusions "this is not for me" and "oh I get it now, this is great" came within 24 hours of each other. All it took was another tweak of the settings.

A two panel meme. First panel is captioned “the world” and shows an inferno among ruins of civilisation. The second panel is a screen shot of a movie with Wil Ferrell in it. He looks kind of dejected and cups his mouth as if yelling. The caption says “do you need any Sound Design”

Why is nobody talking about “The Second Best Hospital In The Galaxy”?

It’s fun and weird and I like it a lot! 🐙

finally managing to post my newest sound redesign; a wobbly and sparkly take on Juno's abilities in Overwatch. I took quite the experimental approach making these assets, and I'm very happy how they came out!

I finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard yesterday! Had a great time playing it - just what the doctor ordered.

Going to miss that world and the characters dearly. Good job to everyone who worked on it

I have sound design brain but at the moment I really need “do your day job to pay the bills” brain.

love this lil guy #dragonAge

picture of a griffin from the game Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This is Assan and he's still a young and cheeky one. One ear raised, and big blue eyes stare expectantly off camera. Warm sunlight hits him from the side. He's probably thinking of food
