there's a secret third thing about it being august now and that's that it marks 10 years since "Don't Worry, You're Great", still my most "successful" album to date, came out. it still means a lot to me and I'll be posting a lot about it in the days to come. in the meantime, listen / pwyw:

Falling Block Jam 2026 is now open for sign-ups! For just over a week in September, let's hack together our own ideas in the classic arcade puzzle genre. #FallingBlockJam itch.io/jam/falling-...

When you spend 20 minutes making a ~1 second laser sound in a song and know not one moment of tweaking the smallest parameters back and forth and back again was a waste

Oh hey surprise, some pixelated fruits of my labor sneaking out already! Also if you're in the Rochester area please hit up ROC Game Fest in Sept. and soak in all the indie games! 💙

It's so easy to not use AI for a show poster. I don't even consider myself much of a visual artist and I still was able to make this poster (come out July 19th @ cafe nine in New Haven, @tv-ma.bsky.social is on tour!) It was fairly low effort too, maybe took me like 40 minutes?

Do you hate GenAI? 🫵👀 Have you recently played a handcrafted indie game that you liked but haven't yet left a review for it? 🤔 Good news! By leaving a review, you'll be supporting the game you liked while also making these statistics even worse for GenAI! 🤗 Go leave a review on Steam today! 📝🐘

Mr. Hands is making SuccuDeck 😈🃏@mrhands31.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖
