"Delver's Folly" by @rpgpapercrafts.bsky.social. You have arrived at the ruins of Breezecave. An underground city that was lost long ago. No room ever stays in place. No path ever remains the same.
I wrote most of the dialogue!

"Impulse Response" by Max Hatfull. Engineer Cadence Quinn is woken from cryo sleep to blaring alarms.
Make your way through the ship and discover what happened to solve its mysteries.
I wrote and voice the protagonist, Quinn!

PSA for any blind/VI fans of markiplier: Unfortunately, the new Iron Lung film does not appear to have #AudioDescription or Assistive Listening available.
It's such a shame, because it was an excellent film, and I loved it! But I just can't recommend it without AD. ๐ฅ๐ฉธ

Almost everything is covered by insurance, thankfully. Very few expenses that I need to pay for myself. But god damn, I'm upending my life annually at this point. I'm gonna develop a phobia over the sound of dripping water, I swear.
Rant: I am proving rather unlucky with home ownership. My condo is now in its 4th instance of major water damage in the 3.5 years I've lived here. 2 times has been my upstairs neighbor's fault, 2 times it's been the building's fault. ๐
Unfortunately stream tonight is cancelled. I am yet again having to deal with water damage in my condo. Cheers to getting a bit of my ceiling ripped out tomorrow!!
Live now for my final stream of 2025 with #BaldursGate3, alongside the fantastic Jenna!
Join us on Twitch and YouTube to see how Eir and company get on after the events of the previous episode!

Just to follow up on this post of controller hunting woes: my answer turned out to be the @asusrog.bsky.social Raikiri II! No disconnects, no missed inputs, and no mandatory wired requirement for Xbox.
We just bought the ROG Raikiri 2 for our Xbox and it's been an absolute dream. Might have to look at more of their products tbh

And my personal favorite, "Tides of Annihilation" included gameplay of a full boss fight. It had a distinct narrative flow through the fight's phases, and I think I really nailed it!

"Raji: Kaliyuga", had some absolutely gorgeous and otherworldly visuals:

"Zoopunk", was a very original concept that had a cohesive industrial type of aesthetic:

"The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu", was delightfully spooky and atmospheric, giving off a sense of constant dread:

During the Xbox Partner Preview a couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of writing the #AudioDescription for the trailers that were included. Below is a thread with a few of my favorites!
Tip: Enable the AD by selecting the Settings Cog, then set "English Descriptive" as the audio track!
Traveling pro tip: travel sized deodorant and toothpaste is usually unnecessary when flying in the USA. The regular sizes for these are typically below the limit of 3.5 ounces. No need to buy a whole separate travel size!
Anything by The Ink Spots is instantly Fallout for me.
