really loving the state of youtube thumbnails right now!

saw the game FRANKEN mentioned in an article tonight and thought to myself "well that sure sounds familiar" turns out i played this entire game 4 years ago and i have almost no recollection of it. it's really rare that i have seemingly zero memories of something that happened so recently. huh.

really quite weary of this industry's obsession with converting every crumb of information across every imaginable context into numerical data and treating what they see as steadfast gospel rather than a visual aid or a reference point

just fyi i am away from home for this week and also barely checking my phone because i need brain detox

i'm sure i'm not the only vgm composer who saw this and remembered several instances in which feedback amounted to "please make it more boring"

dude I specifically asked you NOT to go hard on the soundtrack. it's just a silly game with no artistic merit behind it. I was looking for composers who specialize in mediocrity. get out of my sight and take your "bangers" with you

i've never smoked before but i think i need approximately 8 cigarettes today

sometimes i ask the void why i am scheduled for 5-6 hours of meetings in a single day and the void reminds me to make sure to allow camera and microphone access before proceeding

since they're still quite popular and are spread around a lot, i feel like i should mention that the In Otter News account has long since devolved into a bit of a slop page, mixing in genAI art and photos with real ones, so i'd recommend not sharing them around if you can help it

Very excited to have a booth again at Furality! You can visit it right now in the public version of the Dealer's Den world (booth #3008). Comms will be opening up again in June too. In addition, use code ULTRA for 25% off the Kaminite avatar on Gumroad until June 13th! (link below) #FuralityUltra

i contributed a small bit to this! one of my personal favorite vrc avatars that i've seen of late, highly recommend checking it out!

there has been a MASSIVE wave of these channels dropping AI generated "cover albums" of video game OSTs and it fucking sucks because there are legitimate musicians who are painstakingly covering these songs and don't get nearly the views.

Have we lost our collective minds?

i just wanna write music, man

it's okay you don't have to be the devil's advocate for genAI to me you can just instead choose not to talk about it to me

thumbnail A/B tests are so funny to me because i always double take and think "haven't i seen this exact video pop up before" and it IS the same video but this time with the addition of the creator's wide-eyed YouTube Face covering half the image

hello again 🍄‍🟫

B-Side remix i did of one of my older tracks, done back in 2022! i have a soft spot for jawbreaker, so it was cool to revisit it and give it a different kind of energy!

I made a thing! My VRChat buddies and me :D

ditch the longform 2 hour vgm vibe playlists. make playlists of actual tracks from actual games. be intentional. if you’re intentional, you won’t be nearly as likely to fall for obvious bait like this. another really great reason why crediting and id-ing the music you’re listening to is valuable
