Fun fact: net-net, the *player* actually has the most possible opportunities for dad jokes... But the fact that Alan's a literal dad means he does, thankfully, still get a couple. jettbarker.itch.io/owia

I'm at my day job and there's a bird outside right now going coo-coo-krruurr and every fibre in my body has to resist mimicking it out loud in front of my coworkers

Game developers, a kind request: I know you want a fancy cutscene to play when your game boots, and that's cool and stuff but PLEASE, let players configure settings before that! Watching cutscenes with blasting volume and the wrong resolution is NOT a good first impression, I assure you.

Was talking to some students about my thoughts on game design earlier today. I portrayed it as a form of curation rather than problem solving. You start with envisioning an intended play experience. You want the audience to get there via the creative use of mechanics/features.

If you're in KL this weekend, come to the grand opening of Play Play Asia! Play Play Asia is a tabletop game store focusing on Asian games, where I work heh. We are open every day from 11 am - 8 pm, and we're located at shop GM1-13 on Level 1 at GMBB KL in Bukit Bintang.

It is discouraging and disgusting to see a bunch of fellow voice actors - especially those with vast tenures and resumes - who say for "No Ai In VO" who also proudly use Gen Ai to create "ai images/art" on Instagram. You cannot say "no Ai in my profession" and then use it to take jobs from others.

Also: if you're a project producer who genuinely doesn't have the money to pay folks—the solution isn't to use ""generative"" plagiarism software. Folks *will* be open to working with you, even pro bono, if you're organized, transparent about project expectations/workflow/etc, and safety-minded.

Handy reminder to producers in the audio drama space- "I don't get paid for this" is not an excuse to use to use AI voices in your project. If you have any integrity as a new producer you'll be the last person to get paid, and guess what - sometimes that means there's nothing left over for you.

I'd add this: not only is this team *phenomenally* fun to work with, but whether you're union or non-union, this contract has union-level, legally enforceable AI protections. If they're ever violated? The union's legal team will pursue damages. For free. Not that that'll be a problem, <cont'd>

Hi, all! Kylie, Elina, and co. are looking for actors on a super cute game jam project currently in the works! Roles are 2F/1M/4 that're open to all; please have files submitted by 12pm GMT on the 16th! This is on the Game Jam Waiver, so it's open to U + NU folks alike! 🥳 tinyurl.com/crittercall

I think folks underestimate how useful and *cool* it is to let actors play off of their castmates' previously-recorded audio, especially in videogames and ADR (where lead-in lines can be set to cue). You get the energetic exchange of multi-person scenework with the efficiency of a solo session.

Set up at Asian Board Games Festival Malaysia for the weekend, selling and showcasing tabletop roleplaying games and storygames form local designers (including me), and hopefully meeting people interested in playing them in Penang!

Our booth for tabletop RPGs and storygames at ABGF Malaysia.Entrance to ABGF Malaysia at 1st Avenue Mall in Penang.

My coworker said that applying a blind box gacha strategy / picking based on vibes the album cover gives off when purchasing vinyls is a crazy thing to do So anyways I bought this during my trip to Penang last year on New Year's Eve because fish fish fish white dawg(?) awoo to the moon
