On my way to Brighton for Develop. I'll be at the Metal Meet and VGM drinks today, and the Audio track and drinks tomorrow. If you see me, please say hi!

Sam is sat on a train, smiling, wearing headphones and a Farscape t-shirt.

Time to head home from another brilliant @gameaudiosymposium.bsky.social where it was a pleasure to meet new people, catch up with familiar faces and benefit from a wealth of generous knowledge share from the speakers giving talks. I'm already looking forward to next year!

I'm on my way to Brighton for Develop. I'll be at the Metal Meet and the VGM Game Audio drinks today, and all of the Audio track talks tomorrow. Please say hello if you see me!

Sam is sat on a train, in a window seat. Through the window, the exterior is blurred due to the train's motion. It is a sunny day, and the sunny disposition that Sam thought he was displaying in his smile when taking this photo, is more of a subtle, Mona Lisa lazy smile.

New Teri Gender Bender album out today. I'm enjoying it! 🦶

The cover art for Teri Gender Bender's album 'TGB'. It is a collage freaturing newspaper lettering spelling out the album title, a photograph of a foot in a high heel shoe, a pencil sketch of a foot, some crayon scribbles in red and black, and some black tape.

I enjoyed heading over to BAFTA for the Connect Games Forum today. Some interesting panels, roundtable discussions and sweet, sweet air conditioning. Lovely to meet some new people and catch up with familiar faces. I'm now enjoying the air con of my train home.

A portrait photo of Sam taken at the BAFTA event by a professional photographer. Sam is wearing a Karl Kopinski t-shirt showing an astronaut in zero gravity eating pizza and surrounded by floating pizza slices and drinks cans. Sam is smiling. The photo has a border featuring the logos of BAFTA, and the event sponsors PlayStation and Epic Games.

I'm happy to have started my Limit Break mentoring journey with my first session as a mentor today. It's a great feeling to be of help to those earlier in their game audio career. Let's go!

That's a wrap on @gameaudiosymposium.bsky.social and time to reflect on all the brilliant talks. It was a pleasure meeting so many fellow game audio professionals and catching up with some familiar faces, too. Feeling energised and inspired.

I'm very happy to be on my (rather delayed) train home from the BAFTA Games social this evening, which was my first in-person BAFTA event. Lovely to meet some new people and to see some familiar faces too.

A photo of Sam sat in his seat on the train home from London Euston. He has what could possibly be descibed as a relieved, somewhat exasperated, but ultimately happy expression, having only minutes earlier been unsure whether the train would be cancelled or delayed even more than it was. He is wearing a bright orange raincoat. This is not a photo from the actual BAFTA event, because Sam had too much of a good time being deep in conversation with a range of games industry professionals.

I took part in Global Game Jam over the weekend and made Pistol Shrimp 64: Marine Life with two friends, Glen Fox and Joe Hamilton. It is a twin-stick shooter where you are a Pistol Shrimp and a Marine. hammy1202.itch.io/pistol-shrim...

Screenshot of Pistol Shrimp 64: Marine Life. A pistol shrinp in a mech suit is surrounded by crabs and an octopus, in an underwater environment with metallic flooring.

Got out to see some live music at Pan-Pan in Birmingham this evening. Frise Lumière and Semay Wu. Great stuff.
