So grateful to have been invited to speak at Stanford alongside @akashthakkar.com ! The folks at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics were some of the most enthusiastic, inventive people I've ever met. Can't wait to go back!

honestly, same

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.

So I'm kinda bad about using this platform lately, but in the off chance anyone has recommendations: Going to NYC for a few days, staying on the Lower East Side. Anyone recommend good food/stuff to do? Got plenty on the list already but would love to add more

At PAX? Interested in game audio? Come by!

Finished Clair Obscur, easily one of my favorite games ever made, but now I gotta get my therapist to play it so she can help me process those fucking ENDINGS

I just want a love like they have someday, I want a buddy who will carry me around in a backpack is that so much to ask

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Pretty sure if my graduate advisor knew this was what I was doing with my degree he'd come to my house and kill me with a pitchfork

Anyone recommend any good language learning apps or tools? Specifically for Japanese, but multi-lingual ones welcome too. @duolingoverde.bsky.social gleefully leaning into AI is a hard pass for me. Been on their paid plan for years but this is an instant-unsubscribe

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.

Hey folks! The talk that @jjerion.bsky.social , @ryanikeaudio.bsky.social , @akashthakkar.com , @zeeodd.bsky.social and I gave at GDC 2025 is up on the FREE portion of the GDC vault! Would love for folks to take a look: gdcvault.com/play/1035075...

Our GDC Panel on Clear Communication in Gamedev is up on the Vault, and it's free! It's a good talk on good talkin'. Let copanelists: @jjerion.bsky.social @akashthakkar.com @charlieartifact.bsky.social @zeeodd.bsky.social and I help you communicate with your team! gdcvault.com/play/1035075...

So I'm currently teaching a class on video game music at a local film music program. Students are all adults, mid 20a to 50+. Some have never played a video game in their lives and are asking for examples to help them learn more about the medium What games would you recommend?

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

Come listen to us talk at our talk where we'll talk about talking

The government is about to give OpenAI the ability to legally steal if we do not flood this page in the next 12 hours. OpenAI will have immunity from all lawsuits regarding copyright infringement. All other AI companies will follow. Do you despise AI? Dissent, retweet. Do something. #furry #art

Reminder! I’ll be at GDC all week and speaking with some wonderful panelists (@ryanikeaudio.bsky.social @jjerion.bsky.social @charlieartifact.bsky.social @zeeodd.bsky.social) on Monday! See you there!

Took me two minutes and it's worth doing. You can get the 5 Calls app if you want to make it easier, gives you your reps' numbers and a script to use if you want

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

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Shit like this is why I love @thestranger.com www.doesthebillionairedie.com

I'll be at GDC for the first time since COVID hit and no I'm not starved for human interaction why would you say that anyway let's hang out

They're coming

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

We're usually off in a hole somewhere recording ourselves making cow noises, or playing a big pipe organ like the Phantom. But also, there's a downside!

Sadly, the recorder app I mumble into when I'm brainstorming captures my creative process perfectly, roast my ass

Make a profitable game but doesn't meet impossible financial expectations = laid off Make a ridiculously successful game that singlehandedly breathes new life into a genre = laid off Be forced into making a live service game that doesn't sell because of the live service model= laid off I am tired

New post: blocklist for AI music on youtube #text https://surasshu.com/blocklist-for-ai-music-on-youtube

Current #StreetFighter6 goal is to learn Mai and get good at classic controls. Did half my placements today and it's going fine, haha, don't worry about it

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
