So everyone I guess needs to toss on the Cobalt Core visualizer again because YouTube Studio informed me today that the view count just got surpassed by someone doing ASMR shorts on top of my tracks (which shows up in my analytics for some motivating reason I'm sure)

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
⤷ ゛it’s bandcamp friday! ˎˊ˗ that means all fees are waived and 100% of profit goes directly to the artist. it’s a great way to support the music you enjoy! last week i dropped my new album stutter, here’s a little sampler ~ laryssaokada.bandcamp.com/album/stutter
just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok
Completely forgot that I should post this... Crossover fanart from last year of these two glowing green arm characters
