Really loved this piece. It's really well-written (like all of Dia's work), but I'm also so primed to read about coming back to a remake of a 35+ year old game right now. The memories of childhood basement gaming are so vivid, but I also loved the musings on what that looks like for kids today.

Miracle. The scar of the Bontive Valley. The final #Palisade post card is a collaboration between myself and @badbucket.bsky.social. We traded sketches back and forth to land on the comp. I painted the environment, Conner did the ships, the finishing touches, the typography etc. #friendsatthetable
