Hey folks, I'm a narrative designer at CCP Games and have a PhD in Computational Media and an MFA in Digital Arts and New Media from UC Santa Cruz

My indie work includes interactive fiction, visual novels, plays, and tabletop games

A lot of my work deals with gender and queerness!

congratulations to wisdom, the laysan albatross who is the oldest-known bird living in the wild at 75 years of age, on the hatching of her newest chick! wisdom has outlived at least one mate in her lifetime, and has mothered around 60 offspring

Torso shot art of a horned demon holding a fan. They have plants in their hair and flower tattoos that match the design on the fan.

I used to be super into designing spacecraft but over the years have sort of maxed out my interest in that particular domain, however once in a while it still Calls to me

load order is the bane of me trying to make all the funny little guys capable and independent girlbosses

they are too impatient and if there is only one thing anyone cares about, whoever got created first always gets to act

a whole new world to explore
fanart of Samus, from the Metroid games she's wearing her signature power suit/armor, only her helmet's off, she's holding it in her left hand she's standing in a dark wire-filled place, with only a vertical ray of green light falling on her fierce-looking face, like a door's opening on the outside, off screen

WELCOME TO THE DRACULA PAPRIKA DISCOURSE!!

(meme from tumblr, not my own, original link seems to be dead now)
Galaxy brain meme. Panel 1: Jonathan Harker found paprika hendl spicy because he is pathetically English. Panel 2: Hungarian paprika ranges from mild to very spicy; it's perfectly possible our friend Jonathan was served the spicy stuff Panel 3: "paprika hendl uses sweet paprika" recipes change quickly over time an dplace, Jonathan may have been served a regional variant Panel 4 (text running off bottom): PAPRIKA USED TO BE SPICER holy shit it used to be spicier before sweeter peppers were cultivated in the 1920s. plus the machine to remove the spicy pith and seeds was only invented in the 1860s. 19th century Hungarian cuisine was simply spicier than its modern counterpart. not to mention how even "mild" paprikca can cause indigestion which is why it's so frequently served with sour cream

Is this all just to preserve the bubble for another few months or something because this seems like a terrible long term idea

Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

an illustration by Spindle of the character Tether, a human with short black hair, black eyes (black sclera, red irises, white pupils, cybernetic optics), red tanktop and black pants. She's riding a purple motorcycle with red tires (Rybach Snipetail 3, Beholders Edition) known for being excessively loud in a desert road, trying to escape a Dune Serpent that was woken up from hibernation by the sound

I still think Star Trek Beyond is one of the most underrated pieces of Star Trek media out there

Also it shows how badly we were robbed of that cast by those first two movies

Star Trek IV The Voyage Home scene. Famous workplace buddies Kirk & Spock are standing outdoors, outside some large building (it's an aquarium but you didn't hear that from me) with many background folks coming and going, 1980s clothing everywhere. We have Kirk in uniform and Spock in a white bathrobe with wet hair as if he just climbed out of the water. (He just climbed out of the water) They are talking to a woman, standing with the ocean to her back. Pic 1 and 2 on Kirk and Spock, Spock speaking, closed caption reads, "They like you very much, but they are not the hell your whales." Pic 3 is focused on the woman with the ocean in the background, she looks pissed and skeptical, closed caption reads, "I suppose they told you that, huh?" Pic 4 now back on Kirk and Spock, caption reads, "The hell they did." Alt in pic 1! Also fun humpback whale fact, they have some of the most complex songs of any animal in the wild! Alt in pic 1! Also fun humpback whale fact, they have three stomachs! Alt in pic 1! Also fun humpback whale fact, their tails in some ways act as their fingerprint and are unique to each whale!
