Hey @artsemergency.bsky.social has their call open for mentors again! You get paired with a young person approx. 16-17 and talk to them once a month, it's great and not very much work at all and the organisation is ALWAYS short of mentors who work in games

Sadly, the entire audio team at ZA/UM is being made redundant as part of the layoffs. If you're looking (or expect to be looking) for Sound Designers or Tech Sound Designers, please don't hesitate in reaching out to @eliforster.bsky.social, @missgameaudio.bsky.social and @soundbear.bsky.social

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire & become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Stop the Microsoft AI megasite in Leeds!

Microsoft wants to build three huge AI data centres at Skelton Grange. It would drain the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop it - add your name to the petition.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

oh to be a magpie discovering a cool pond in a lush green forest

In a pleasing turn of events, I actually got to spend some time planning my next TTRPG project this morning. So, apropos of nothing at all... Who amongst you likes to write UK-flavoured stuff in the vein of Forteana, folklore, strange horrors, etc., and might be open to a small future commission?

I've made a new pinned post ^^ and for the folks who miss the links in there, I wrote a new blog post recently! briefly writing a lil bit about having signet city and bad magpie announced, as well as the fundraising I intend on doing for the Sadaqah Team: elirainsberry.bearblog.dev/signet-city-...

a rare Perceive Me post for the new followers: I'm Eli (pronounced 'Ellie'), they/them, I make music & sounds for indie games (mostly) & animation (sometimes) expect to hear things from me next on Surf Club (@livvy.itch.io), Bad Magpie (@milktooth.bsky.social) and Signet City (@jumpovertheage.com)

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Please help out victims of the racist attacks in Belfast, thank you.

EDM 240 to reject the draft Code of Practice now has 63 signatures. We all need to keep pushing this. We need everyone to write to their MP. Regardless of their positions on trans rights. If they choose to ignore our voices, at least we will have the receipts. 🧵1/3

Audio (sound effects, music, and dialogue) has a weird relationship with temp assets, mostly because of issues revolving around human psychology. Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.

if anyone happens to be in Portland for PIGCON please consider checking out Surf Club while you’re at it! there’s some new music bits to hear out for in our most recent demo here, I’m excited to yap more about it in the future
