Re-introduction post time!

I'm Iain, a writer and narrative designer for games and tv. I wrote and designed for League of Legends champions, then was a writer/co-producer for Netflix's The Dragon Prince, and most recently led narrative design for XADIA.

Faint traces of Scottish accent remain.

Ask me again when Dylan's gone and I'll think harder about it

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I could say any number of whiskies but really it's "edinburgh"

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Is this going up or down from one dollar in value do you think

Iain Hendry @iainhendry.bsky.social · Mar 11

Emotional moment for me — after losing my entire collection of Mark Sanchez memorabilia in the fire, my grandfather-in-law has gifted me my first replacement piece. Its value currently stands at over one dollar.

Remembering the Allied forces eating at Burgerville in Normandy on their way to liberate occupied France 🙏

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.

yep yep. yet another symptom of the barrier being very low to having needlessly hostile interactions with people you've never met

Iain Hendry @iainhendry.bsky.social · 5d

agree. I'm sympathetic to where the OP is coming from, we've all become exhausted by people making their tastes their entire personality and having a meltdown when challenged, but we shouldn't avoid having stances on account of those folks. I can, should, and must say that Interstellar sucks ass

Carolyn Petit @carolynmichelle.bsky.social · 5d

respectfully: no. develop your own taste, absolutely, but own it. it's fine to think that popular thing is bad. it's fine to not have an opinion too, but i see statements like this one all the time and i just want to push back a bit: there's nothing wrong with having the courage of your convictions.

"there are many filmmakers whom i clearly recognize as major artists while remaining completely untouched and, frankly, annoyed by their work. learning the difference between "i hate", "it's bad", and "it just isn't for me" has been a crucial feature of my maturation as an artist and human being."

In defense of Taylor Swift...what's the best 12th album anyone has ever made?

Iain Hendry @iainhendry.bsky.social · 7d

I’ll admit I’ve never listened so I can’t for sure say there isn’t a trans woman in the NFL who cohosts the Kelce brothers podcast

Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

While many of you are likely yelling “BAD BUNNY for halftime show” or “TAYLOR SWIFT for halftime show” I’m yelling “ROBERT MUELLER AND THE RULE OF LAW for halftime show”

Iain Hendry @iainhendry.bsky.social · 9d

i do not think the people in love with the Alexa in their kitchen are part of a representative sample

The study by Vantage Point listed 30 different Al platforms that respondents claimed to have relationships with.
ChatGPT was the most popular platform for adults to have a relationship with.
Character.ai was next on the list and Amazon's Alexa was third.

So every writer in the future will still have had to learn all of language, including the alphabet, punctuation and so on before they can do their jobs?

Lakshya Jain @lakshya.splitticket.org · 11d

I get this reply a lot. I think people who don't study computer science genuinely do not understand how it's taught.

You *have* to understand logic gates. In Berkeley, students are also made to learn assembly. Less about the language, more about principles. www.theargumentmag.com/p/chatgpt-an...
