148/1849 at LA regionals, unfortunately bubbled out of top 128 but I finally made day 2 for the first time! Fifth time’s the charm, and we got it with the dog 😅
Shaymin is my mvp from the tournament, absolutely saved me so many times
I’ve been confirmed safe for today, but I have colleagues who aren’t so lucky. They, along with everyone else impacted, are all such talented individuals who don’t deserve this.
Please show support to everyone struggling today.
I need people to focus on the real issue here: the value of creative labor, aka jobs. This is not about whether or not it qualifies as "art", whether or not it looks bad, etc. All of that is a just a distraction when we live in a world where we need to work to in order to live.
@EthanTNichols@TheWolfeFM Personally I’m actually of the opposite mind. There have been times where homework let me explore an interesting topic in depth and really solidify my understanding of material. I never really felt that from exams nearly as often, which usually just serve to satisfy grading imo.
The greatest irony of the pandemic for me is that many of the protective measures instituted against covid were successful enough that people became convinced they weren't necessary in the first place.
@TheWolfeFM Worth discussing:
Koji Kondo - His sound was the voice of Nintendo for quite a time
Nobuo Uematsu - I would argue defined what the JRPG sound was for a time
Akira Toriyama - Works that shaped both anime and games, both of which are huge and trendsetters of their mediums
First credit launched! Feels a little weird tbh 😅
I worked on some of the systems for environmental sounds, physics based sounds, and civilian actions! 😄
