Hello and welcome, if you're finally just getting on bluesky! If you're a gamedev, a game audio person, *or* just want to follow someone different, let's give eachother a follow!

new niche: femboy linux user hacked via new backdoor vulnerability asmr

profoundly incurious middle manager from your workplace realizes you're both in a time loop. think groundhog day, but also office space. "yes helen, i know every day is monday, but i still need you to come into work. i really don't want to have to write you up."

Nice, 100 followers! Thank you, everyone! I hope Bluesky continues to be a good place to grow. 😊

Now that BlueSky is kicking open the doors to the world, you might want to remind your followers I exist to help the game dev community find itself. I am an account that simply follows other game devs. Search my follows for accts you might be interested in. And @ me if you want me to follow you.

Upped my studio game a bit. It's certainly not perfect but it's a lot further than where I started 8 years ago!

I swear it's the last guitar I buy, this time. I promise. But maybe—

Finally picked up a Quad Cortex!! So excited to play with this thing.

Amazing how this place has a growing bot problem already. Getting the sense that someone is running an invite code farm of some kind.

bandcamp is a pillar of the independent music scene. the ripple effects of epic's mishandling of the company will be felt by musicians and other artists for years www.gamedeveloper.com/business/epi...

Epic Games cuts almost half of Bandcamp pre-Songtradr salewww.gamedeveloper.com Ahead of being sold to Songtradr, Bandcamp's staff has reportedly been reduced to nearly half its current size by parent company Epic Games.

Going through this tangle of old consoles today. Most are in good condition. I don't want to prop up the stupid, exploitative collector's market, so I'm wondering if any of my moots would be interested.

tfw you're a freelance composer and your family members still come up to you at reunions and go, "still doing the um, (plays air guitar), music thing?"

One of my all-time favorite contraptions that I've been waiting on for a while: the performaxe. It's a leg rest for electric guitars.

I must not understand social media or something. My bluesky experience has been really barren and most of what I post ends up in the void. I have no idea what to really post, or what people are even interested in. Maybe I'm just too late to the party like usual? Should I just get off the internet?

Uninstalled Evercrisis. Can't do it. I like gachas like FGO, but the monetization hooks on this one are obnoxious and relentless. I also don't care for the constant Nioh-style weapon upgrading either. It's a given because it's a gacha, but it trivializes the impact of getting SSRs.

I've maxxed out that unhinged broke and down on their luck jazz fusion musician look today

you can't take away our cruel mitch mcconnell jokes, you can consider it a fair trade for all the healthcare and gun control reforms the republicans keep denying people. besides which, how's he going to stop us? stare at us to death?

This excerpt from an article written for The Atlantic by a woman we apparently bullied off Bluesky is absolutely hilarious.

Guitarists are inexplicably allergic to learning music theory. It's as if they think their skill will somehow vanish, like that talent-stealing basketball from Space Jam. (touches Nicolas Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales only once, and flops over like an inert fish) "OH NO, MY RIZZ IS GONE"

"ahh, it says that she has an elo of 2200, but that's a FEMALE elo 2200, don'tcha see. They basically can't even be considered the same, because I implicitly believe that winning against males must be a fluke!!"

I feel perpetually greasy, lol

tried out submithub by submitting one of my metal tracks. one reviewer wrote: "i like rock, but i think it would be better if this song didn't have guitars". what.

you haven't lived a complete, satisfying life until you've seen something grotesque emerge from the darkness, compelling you to repeatedly stutter "bakemono" in abject horror before it kills you off screen
