When you follow me, you're signing up for a random assortment of English/Tamil poetry, music from various instruments I don't know how to play, Birdposting, Beeposting, Treeposting, Tech Takes, Astronomy musings, pictures of my dog Nala, and whatever else manages to trap my limited attention span.

I also made the soundtrack for @thousandstars.bsky.social's Aikyam, a Bollywood inspired fantasy RPG, coming soon. I'm currently working on the soundtrack for Game #2 by the Visai team & @outersloth.com, for which I'm recreating ancient Tamil instruments via the magic of 3D printing.

Hi new friends, I'm an artist who goes by Alpha Something. I composed the soundtrack and wrote Tamil lyrics for the indie superhit blockbuster Venba - a narrative cooking game that makes you cry - made by the awesome folks at @visaigames.bsky.social I'm a poet, beekeeper and hammock enjoyer.

Anyone know what this is? Found it in the woods and it won't stop playing a ridiculous tune. So annoying I just wish I could break it!

AI / LLMs are amazing for discovery but it is absurd to deem them capable of invention. magazine.catapult.co/dont-write-a... Insane idea from MegDalton.com & a local library in Connecticut, actually.

Thiruvalluvar really cooked with this one 🔥 Played on Kayali, the 3D printed Yaazh I recreated specifically for @visaigames.bsky.social's next soundtrack. (Thanks to @kandasamy.bsky.social's Book Of Desire for reminding me of this banger)

Graph showing the number of questions asked on Stack Overflow. It reminds me of a conversation that @tforster.com and I were having last year. AI is currently VERY good at solving code problems precisely because of the amount of real human knowledge it has access to.

Mayili is all set to be shipped to my bro @brownmoney.bsky.social so I made a Yaazh jam of his favourite song from Venba. A 3D printed Yaazh made with durable ABS in pastel colors reminiscent of retro videogames. Hope the folks at @visaigames.bsky.social get as much joy from playing this as I did 🤟💜

Kojima has the right idea edition.cnn.com/2025/12/12/s...

Quote from Hideo Kojima

"Rather than having AI create visuals or anything like that, I'm more interested in using AI in the control systems," Kojima said. "For example, if you have 100 players, each of them will have their own habits and tendencies, their sense of control, how they move - all of that differs from person to person.

By having Al compensate for those differences, the gameplay can gain more depth. And in most games, the enemies don't behave very much like real humans. But by using AI, enemy behavior could change based on the player's experience, actions and patterns. That kind of dynamic response would make much deeper gameplay possible."

The kid asked me to modify the Danger Snake game so that the randomly appearing bombs don't end the game - just cost a pixel instead. The reasoning? Kabooms are fun. 💥 So now the bombs are actually treats because they reduce the likelihood of self-collision and help you get to a higher score. 🤷‍♂️
