Proud Boys associate, Ben Bergquam, is embedded with DHS agents today and was spotted during an abduction in Wheaton, Illinois.

Working on boss music When testing different SFX for the transition between boss phases, I accidentally scrolled past the Wilhelm scream Be warned, if you don't wishlist it on Steam, I will put it in the game. store.steampowered.com/app/4090240/...

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent me nice messages, shared this post, and made Bandcamp purchases/sent me money on ko-fi. You are all too kind 💗 Things are tough right now but I know they’re going to get better!

Been doing some vague posting about things being a bit hellish recently. Here's the full story (and how you can help if you feel so inclined 💚)

If you're a jr. sound designer & are interested in working on a narrative-driven RPG, I know of a studio looking for someone. Most of the game's sounds have already been made, and the team now needs someone to help them cross the finish line (there are ~75 sounds left to make). (1/2)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so excited i have been waiting for divinuet for sooo long 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Listen to the music of the cards in Divinuet, where deterministic music accompanies tarot readings 👁️🔮🎶 Wishlist on Steam now! store.steampowered.com/app/4565530/...

I also just finished this game a couple hours ago and yeah. It hits.

Carolyn Petit@carolynmichelle.bsky.social · 6mo ago

put off finishing it because i wanted to live with it over time, because at times it was so emotionally immediate that i needed a break, and because i didn't want it to end. but i finally finished perfect tides: station to station. masterpiece. on the shortlist of my all-time favorites.

My partner and best friend Kyle suffered from two strokes last week. We need your help. gofund.me/e25c60dfb Anything helps, a like, a share, a donation. thank you for your support during this difficult time ❤️

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work! Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Anyone curious about environmental sound design, indie audio dev, or FMOD & Unity would benefit huuugely from Ben's video!! It's short, but pretty dang deep.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

AltWatcher@altwatcher.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post. A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Our constituents are being surveilled, threatened, tear gassed, shot, subjected to warrantless arrest, kidnapped, and disappeared. 35 people have died in detention in ICE’s deadliest year yet. ICE’s terror and violence need to end.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them. Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong. Read more:

Interesting thing I learned while posting this—Bluesky's closed captions are pretty messed up! Couldn't get them to sync up after several tries, until I found a bug report from 15 months ago on GitHub, where someone explains you have to *delay* all captions by 1.45 sec github.com/bluesky-soci...
