More specifics in the reply!
My wife and I played the @shrineslegacy.bsky.social demo recently. We hugely recommend! Support this indie team! Really enjoyed a 16 bit Zelda-like WITH COUCH CO-OP. That's all we want in our lives. Easy to pick up and play, fun story so far, easy-on-the-eyes UI, and a lot of promise. #indiegaming
I have to say, it's incredibly novel to think of superheroing through a company and dispatch. For a genre (that I love) that often doesn't play with how heroes would legally function in a world like ours, I like the idea of playing with "Capes" tropes through an emergency service and call line.
Really enjoyed playing the #Dispatch demo from @adhocstudio.com . I was looking forward to a great Telltale narrative game but found myself enjoying the Dispatching even more (esp. managing a team of misfits and their quirks). I definitely recommend it! (I just hope they add more gamepad support!)

This is Jack Kirby for me. A Man who just wanted to create endless bombastic cosmic worlds and be paid a liveable wage for it. Who are other creators who just made stories and never seemed to do anything terrible to anyone?
As the writers who defined my adolescence reveal themselves to be monsters, I'm ever-more thankful for Stephen King.

A man who wants nothing more than to write stories and tell them to the world.

We're lucky to have him.

3 things I learned from #SpiritedAway:

1. An abandoned theme park is the perfect place to stop and grab a bite.
2. This place is exactly why we have unions.
3. Nothing wins hearts like crying yourself to sleep in front of other people.

First post in a while has to be about Gina Brillon.

Goddamn. Came for the jokes about being growing up in NYC as a Bronxite.

Stayed for the deeply moving messages about parenting, identity and being better to each other.

Been off for a long time. Had to get away from social media. Feeling ready to try again. And especially get back into the writing/film/games/comics/TV communities. I need some good energy in my brain when I'm on these platforms!

A) 50th anniversary attention of any kind for Storm: yes.

B) she's taking on actual thunder gods

C) love the diversity, designs, Kirby influence, and usage of these lesser known thunder gods! By @lucianovecchio.bsky.social

Next: Storyteller's Weekly Journal. Not usually a fan of such books. There's no foolproof way to success. But I really love the attention to mentally healthy routines and researching your genre/medium to increase chance of creative, critical & commercial success.

Similarly, Sasha at @casuallycomics.bsky.social did another great interview with Scott Synder, this about breaking into comics. Great, honest, genuine, step by step insights to getting closer to mainstream success. Very heartfelt.

The first one I listened to was @victoriaaveyard.bsky.social on world building! Just amazing. Never knew anything of Aveyard besides that she is an author. She gives really honest and robust info about her process/challenges. Watch it!

Been away for a bit but really started the new year driven to getting my writing routine going and get some projects off the ground. Going to share some resources little by little that I'm finding helpful for anyone else trying to get momentum on their creativity this year!
Haven't been on in a while, but had to share this really beautiful, vulnerable short.

Went through the same thing with a parent. I wish had her strength in writing about vulnerable moments like this. Maybe now I do. Give it a read.
