📌'd post
Currently writing queer speculative fiction novels and doing level & campaign design direction on Arkane Lyon's next game. I've done LD work on every Dishonored and given lectures or panels at 16 games industry events. I make great coffee. Also, very gay.

They say the war is over... but the pain inside me hasn’t ended.
The bombs may have stopped falling, but the struggle is far from over.
I'm Sakher — a young man who lost everything in this war.
My home… gone. My memories, my work, my future all destroyed

Wanting to make art that is "good" rather than personal raw & messy feels like a trap

The most experienced and accomplished women in the world are condescended to and belittled by the most inconsequential men you've never heard of (and will never) on a daily basis.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.

I often say we all have the power to impact someone's day, or life even, through words only. You can save a life with a simple compliment. You can save someone's passion with a kind word.
Being louder than hatred with what you love and kindness isn't silly nor weak, it's a needed strength.

Enjoying an album, and then sharing it with someone you like, and seeing them absolutely love it, which has you enjoying the album even more, and feeling even closer to that person

Yeah
Fuck yeah

I'm better at /writing in french with a pen and paper with no dictionary or spell check/ than I am at understanding what someone is saying.

Dana, 🌒 Night & Gale 🌬️ @danaenight.bsky.social · 1d

Got my French B1 language exam score breakdown

Listening comprehension: 6.5/25
Written comprehension: 23/25
Handwritten essay: 11/25
Live dialogue/debate: 18/25

Total: 59/100 (passed)

That score gap between listening comprehension and reading? That's audio processing issues.

Hey friends - my time at Heart Machine is ending after nearly 6 years. It’s difficult to say goodbye to a studio that has seen so much growth in myself and others.

If you know of any studios hiring for audio lead or senior roles, please send them my way. DMs are open!
