"GlitchedVision gives ChainStaff a 8.4 (84). Pick this up if you’re looking for a fun retro romp through a metal album full of explosions, aliens, and slick movement tech."
If you enjoyed ChainStaff please consider posting a short review on Steam, it really helps keep me going! ❤️💚💙 store.steampowered.com/app/2976260/...

Late night rehearsals for some new Stick it to the Stickman music!
Back to doing some recording. I'm doing it myself so I'm the producer and the artist. As the artist I am getting tired of the ridiculous things the producer is making me do. As the producer I am wondering why I ever agreed to work with someone so touchy and unprofessional.

Evil Dead Burn is pretty phenomenal. Walks that fine line between pure sadism and dark humor. Some of the best, most creative shots in the franchise. Minor CGI-related gripe robs it of an 11/10, relegating it to a mere 10/10. Possibly the only long-running horror franchise without a bad entry?

Less than 24 hours left to get it on the cheap!!!
13. Chainstaff A recent release that flew under a lot of people's radar, Chainstaff is a run'n'gun action game where you play as a soldier with an alien parasite on his head. You need to see this game, because the background work is stellar, evoking 70s prog rock album covers, it's astonishing.
It's unsurprising that a megacorp with FIFTEEN goddamn management layers doesn't understand institutional knowledge and brain trusts. Gutting id's tech team is unthinkably stupid. If you can't figure out how to monetize the best in the world, maybe you're in the wrong goddamn business.
Listening to live recordings of Rainbow from 1976 and... imagine being the founding guitarist for *Deep Purple* and thinking, You know what? I need *even more solo time*; I'm gonna start a whole new band, and the guitar solos are gonna be *ten minutes long*, because fuck EVERYONE.
ChainStaff is 20% off in the #SteamSummerSale and the Soundtrack and Artbook are as well! Great review: "It plays the way it looks, like a double LP gatefold prog rock record. Complex and deep and heady... Fantastic game." store.steampowered.com/app/2976260/...

80s American pop culture shaped my life and brain, and for that I'm forever grateful. Hope y'all are having a great party. #America250 #USA250 #IndependenceDay #FourthofJuly
And that concludes my first run of ChainStaff. Verdict? If you like run-n-gun platformers, play it. Gameplay kicks ass, art style's amazing, and the soundtrack rips.
Just another day working with the fine folks over at @freelives.bsky.social
The reason artists write out scores for their music is in case they get audited, in which case they can prove with documentation that they’re compliant with music theory.

Pretty sad that 90% of YT vids covering SFX for film boil down to "search for what you need in our sponsor's SFX pack and drag it in. Buy my course." Ugh.
A little bass duet from the Chainstaff OST. The Molting Grounds are so visually arresting, writing something to do them justice felt like a fool's errand. This introduction sought to compliment the gorgeous imagery, while staying out of the way enough to let the art speak for itself.
Great to see two excellent horrors by young directors dominating the box office. Especially with complacent mega-franchises faltering. It seems like it's the one genre immune to whatever else is happening in popular culture.
