I had the pleasure of working on Bind & Banished with the guys at @indie_shark and it has won the best team award at the @gamerepublic student awards! Go check out the game if you haven’t yet...
Finally the Best Team Award goes to Bind & Banish by @indie_shark from @HuddersfieldUni! Congratulations to all the winners - and to all the students who entered such amazing projects in a very difficult year. Fantastic!
@DrEoinOCleirigh The 2 child cap only applies to people claiming universal credit, you can still claim for child benefit for more than 2 kids, you just can’t get the extra universal credit to avoid people abusing the system.
I’m going to be around for @developconf from Tuesday evening to Friday. Looking forward to meeting more people who think the Elden Ring DLC is the perfect level of difficulty!
@tsarnick Let’s all stop paying for microsoft products because they are up on the internet somewhere and that makes them freeware. This argument is daft and I hope they get sued out of existence.
The 3 major record labels are suing AI music companies Suno and Udio. Here are the two lawsuits in full.
- They accuse Suno & Udio of “willful copyright infringement on an almost unimaginable scale”
- They provide evidence that both companies trained on their music, including outputs that closely resemble their recordings (ABBA, Michael Jackson, Green Day, James Brown, & many more)
- They outline why this is not fair use
- They say this “wholesale theft of… copyrighted recordings threatens the entire music ecosystem and the numerous people it employs”
- They include unknown co-defendants who assisted in copying/scraping
- They demand a jury trial
If you do one thing today, read the full complaints.

@georgegalloway You’re right! We should ban drinking as well! Both cause enormous cost to society and the NHS. Your freedom shouldn’t impact on my freedom not to pay for your stupid choices.
@tom_bellingham Young people now days… but seriously I agree this is really annoying. I reckon we should reintroduce mandatory military service again. Live out those insufferable teenage years at training camp.
If the bosses of train and bus companies were forced to take public transport I think it would improve everything very quickly… @FirstBusnews @TPExpressTrains
I'm looking to broaden my roster of demo composers for upcoming Fracture Sounds products.
If you're a pro at midi mockups and getting sample libraries to sound good, have excelent production chops, and like the idea of getting free libraries, send me examples of your work!
@RishiSunak The fact that most people *still* have to use cars is not something to be defended. It is another sign of Tory failure. Years and years of wasted opportunities to build a modern, clean, and comprehensive public transport system. We're a joke country thanks to your government.
This person has published multiple tracks of mine (and other people's Fracture Sounds demos) and passed them off as his own. What can I do about this?

@Matt_Leon2 These tracks you "wrote" sound awfully similar to these fracture sounds demos...

Pretty disgusting behavior to steal other people's music and trying to profit off of it.
