I don't think any mainstream/pop song comes close to "Holding out for a Hero" in terms of sheer cheese and energy. Have you HEARD those keys and toms on this track? JEEZ youtu.be/qgHVh5jspsA

Serious question, how old is your microwave?

Serious question, how old is your microwave?

Dynamic playlist idea: plays "decades" hits but it's based on the temperature outside on a given day

Every game should have a music player, it makes the game ten times better, trust me.

My fave albums I dove into this year!

I made some music & sounds for this project (and some of its rooms therein) - It's a really cool collection of art/environments by a bunch of talented ppl and a really chill game to walk around in,I highly recommend checking it out, I'm glad to have been a part of it.

I made a couple of songs for this! It's a cool little atmospheric game where you walk around and interact with stuff, uncover dialogue, secrets, and the sort. And I'm pretty proud of the tunes I did for this one!

Halloween is upon us and @materiacollective.com are celebrating by launching preorders for the vinyl soundtrack to Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion by @akumakira.bsky.social, @jarrencrist.bsky.social and Nolan Reese: blipblop.net/spookys-jump...

This performance rocks, I love clipping. and they took a primarily electronically-produced set of songs and pulled off a lot of cool acoustic adaptation and found sound foley stuff in this, it's really cool. youtu.be/h0-k7vW9Xek

ok, time for another round of #screenshotsaturday. This is 'Tidal Hell', a zero-player war sim game where you engineer weapons and send off your pawns to watch them fight. w/ music by @jarrencrist.bsky.social <333 check it out @ play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Just found you can use a browser extension to re-enable the little "Watch Later" button that used to be present in the top corner of YouTube thumbnails as a quick way to add videos into that playlist and JEEZ I've missed that feature so much.

This color... It's a Bismol.

If I hear you rave about how great "AI Summaries" are on Google you've basically outed yourself as having been unable to research anything on the internet up to this point. Yes I have quite a few ppl in my life that talk about how "amazing and helpful" the summaries are.

Big recommend for this game (Mortal Meal) for a short & sweet horror-adjacent game. I really liked the visuals and music in this one especially, plus it's got a good story to boot. (Also its OST is free on Bandcamp which is super dope.)

Fun fact: the main synth used in my song "Falling to my Death" from Lunacid is a patch called "Siphons in the Sky" from the plugin: Absynth 5, by Native Instruments.

I love Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, but am I alone in feeling the level design of the first entry is kind of... frustrating? I love the way the game feels, looks, sounds, how DK/Diddy control - but the levels themselves have been kind of annoying, enemy placement feels cheap oftentimes.

This legit sounds like a Zelda Dungeon or something, cool vibe: youtu.be/dW6x7b3YmTg?...

With every passing day I feel my "professional" veneer fading in favor of more human interaction with every instance of nonsense I encounter in business-y convos with people. Working a desk job does that to you I think, lol. There's only so much disingenuous interaction one can stomach.

Normalize taking screenshots of posts of cool art, music, games and other stuff that you want to check out later but don't have the time to in the moment. Can't tell you how many things I've been able to circle back to and enjoy that way.

Heard a weird similarity to a synth from a song from the game Sephonie by @hantani.bsky.social and "Rock with You" by Michael Jackson, they're almost identical - pretty neat! Kinda makes me wonder if it was an emulation vst of a similar synth used in the MJ song or something.

I guess Mario Kart World has a bunch of new arrangements of pretty deep cut/relatively obscure Nintendo music, keep seeing posts about it and stuff - I think that's pretty neat! Nice to hear some of these old songs with a cool new take.

As a big Mario Kart DS fan the new game with the free roaming and all the micro challenges in the world looks pretty fun, it's kinda like an improved "mission mode" from the aforementioned game in that sense. Also gives Sonic Frontiers vibes to me. Just cruising around and doing random stuff.

PSA: Google forces AI summaries on almost everything you search and there's no way to remove them without adding syntax like "-ai" to the start of the query, and given that environmental impact of ai summaries vs. regular search engine queries I'd say it's not a bad time to switch an alternative.
