Would anyone mind critiquing my LinkedIn profile page? I always appreciate pointers/advice.

I would suggest uploading a photo of yourself where you don't look like you just saw your pet die

Haha, ok, fair enough. I seriously don't have any at the moment, but I'll get one.

Despite my love for it, audio was the worst thing to get a diploma in :negative:

I spent the past few months building up my LinkedIn profile and all the basic tutorial boxes are checked. 30+ connections, profile summary, skills listed, etc etc. Question is, how do I use it? I get the purpose behind it, but am I supposed to use it like a white collar facebook? Post links of cool things related to my field, mention a positive interaction with someone, maybe an article that resonated with me? Does appearing active and sociable on there win me points towards a potential employer? Right now this all feels like an act, and I'm not even sure if they would look at anything other than my profile page.

This is exactly how I feel. I'm looking to try and actually get into doing game audio/music as a consistent side job, maybe someday leading to full-time work again, but the more time goes on, the less likely I think my LI profile will have any part in that. Ah well, guess I really have to network more, which is funny, since I thought that was the whole purpose of LI.

Most recruiters I've worked with are pure garbage churn and burn types. But I had one recruiter who worked with me for a few years and got me good interviews. I actually felt bad when I found a job not through him.

This recruiter you're talking about sounds like a talent agency, but for, y'know... regular work.

I have yet to meet such a person, but I would absolutely love to.
