Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

We hear and talk a lot about the impact that AI has on artists and designers but AI generated code is also shit. AI generated books and articles are shit. We are all creatives and we are all human and we are all on the same side.

Some people rejecting AI for their own craft but having no issue using it for others' is so upsetting. Replacing the skill, expression, and art of a person with the output of the plagiarism machine is always bad. Drawing, writing, programming, these are all creative endeavors. We are all creatives.

Please just get your money paid out to you, do not do this spendable balance shit. I know that it can take a while to hit that payout threshold but that is YOUR money, you earned it, don't let them keep it.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg

Twitch is testing a small reward perk for using Spendable Balance. When you pay with your Twitch earnings, you will get 5%+ back as Reward Balance. Some offers are larger (~10%) if you spend more than $10 USD. You can only spend Spendable Balance + Reward Balance on Twitch.

Had a super nice time with Woodo from @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social! Truly adorable from top to bottom and an utterly zen gameplay experience. I loved the art and the extremely sweet story and just how truly tactile everything felt! store.steampowered.com/app/2572040/...
