I mostly like and recirculate posts here. I never discuss my current work, and only rarely my previous work. (The specifics are mostly NDA'd, and the generalities you can get from less socially-anxious game writers.)

My personal grumbling is (mostly) confined to Mastodon.

Aaaaaand there it is. Exactly like I expected. It’s only going to get less and less possible to discuss vast numbers of games on YouTube.

Can’t wait for the GTA6 reviews full of law-abiding footage.

I wonder if this will extend to official trailers or if publishers will get special treatment.

Remember that concern you brought up in your last jimquisition about violent mature rated video games on YouTube?

Wait, the whole Tylenol lie was just another piece of wildly illegal market manipulation and insider trading?

At this point the Saints Row brand is built on ridiculous excess. If they tried to go back to "grounded" (like the earlier games), using the title would probably be a detriment.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

This is a new one for me. Back Bone Library is not a real company. In fact, any VO job offers that point you to a WhatsApp number is a scam. It's a funnel.

Go to the obviously-ChatGPT-made website and look up their address in Florida. 😆

RT appreciated. Thanks and be safe! ❤️

Drew up a poster for what was probably my favorite movie at age 6: the Rankin-Bass/Topcraft animated feature FLIGHT OF DRAGONS

sky blue, green, and gold poster for FLIGHT OF DRAGONS. Features a dragon, an armored knight on an armored horse, a tiny fella standing on the trunk of a tree holding a sword, a lady in a Robin Hood-ish costume with a bow, and a big wolf whose body looks more like that of a lion

I know, subconsciously, that Skyrim is a game that can be "beaten" (story completed), but to me it's always been like an MMORPG -- a place I vacation for a few months of hiking and sightseeing (and murder), then put aside until the next time wanderlust rises.

I doubt I'll ever see the whole thing.
