I'm gonna be a guest speaker at @playtopia.bsky.social this Friday in Cape Town, South Africa!
My talk "Don't: How Not To Work In Game Audio" is mostly a list of all whoopsies I did in my early career and tips on how to avoid them. It's "Don't Be Like Me: The Presentation" lol.

Man, Clair Obscur has so many little quality of life things I now never want to go without. For example, the way recovery items work like Estus flasks means I use them all the time instead of hoarding them for a boss I never end up spending them on.

Sinners was so fucking good. I was expecting a fun vampire time, I was not expecting a movie with so much amazing stuff to say about what it means to make music, and what music can do. All the performances were out of control.

I think one of my fav things that happened at GDC this year was chatting with my fellow panelists before our talk and all of us agreeing that we have the same urge to eat the bath bombs at Lush

I had an amazing time at #gdc meeting up with old friends, making new ones, giving a talk, and generally soaking up the energy of this incredible, creative community, but you'll have to extrapolate all that from the only photo I remembered to take

Very happy to be speaking at GDC again this year, with some very cool people. You should stop by, we'll have good advice (yes), industry horror stories (probably) and caramel apples (no).

Had a great time guesting on the @gameengineering.bsky.social Podcast recently!
We talked about a lot of stuff, including how working as an artist means a single easily-misinterpreted word can explode your whole day

One of my favorite things a story can do is have multiple encounters with the villain before the final confrontation. Let you get to know them, build some stakes.

Mai and/or Classic Controls practice is coming along. I got Cammy to Master on Modern controls last year, so dropping combos all the time is definitely something to get used to again, but still, progress! #StreetFighter
