Someone recommended the podcast Palimpsest. I'm on episode 3. I get what they're doing, but they keep ruining the effect with over-done, poorly-considered audio effects. The idea is that the main character is recording her voice on her phone. But when the recordings stop and start, there's not the quiet pop or handling sounds you'd expect. Instead, we hear a tape deck sound. When a child laughs or a dog barks, the sound is inserted, rather than us hearing it as her phone would.

I have a computer science degree and work in IT. I'm a fan of Apple, but not to an extreme. I enjoy playing acoustic guitar and electric bass. I'm blind.
To clarify, the sounds we hear aren't just at a different audio quality. The problem is that the narrator tells us she hears them through a closed window, or in her neighbor's apartment. But rather than a phone picking up muffled sounds, we hear audio clips at the same quality as the narrator's voice. No muffling, no attenuation, nothing. If you're going for the found footage model, you shouldn't fake sounds like this. If you do, fake them well.

Look at the URL. Yeah, that's right, src=rss. Some of us still use RSS. Dozens, perhaps scores of us are out there!

What, you mean decent accessibility? Yeah, I thought not.
have you downloaded Super Liam 1.5 yet? There are a ton of new features including the Super L AI M mode. And you can play it on mac now! Also. it's free! https://l-works.net/superliam.php
Is it me, or do the pit sounds not pan when you jump over them in the new Super Liam? The drips, lava, and the like always seem to stay centered as I jump. I think I'm going to fall every time. @LWorksGames
