Feel free to reskeet!

I’m in the market for my next game narrative role!

You’d get:

✅ Award-winning writing and narrative design
✅ Worldbuilding
✅ Character development

I’d get:

✅ Money
✅ A collaborative team of weirdos enthusiastic about narrative
✅ A challenging, player-centric project

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

Good Boy, meh movie! Jackie Chan is old as fuck and still charismatic as hell! Found footage where the premise of the doc within the film makes no sense! Zombie v Shark: Dawn of Justfish!

guys, look, there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. i get that it *feels nice* to yell at me or whatever, but i simply have to make money somewhere. and it's not like there's that many people hiring blood boys right now. so yes i'm getting paid by Peter Thiel, but it's really not a big deal

I think it’s a cumulative thing? Seeing a convo like that in isolation may feel like spinning its wheels. But several chained together (joined by clear, character behavior) makes it click

I still think the most accurate and consistent way to think about generative AI is that, in every instance, people exclusively use it for tasks that they don't have any respect for or give a shit about.

OK Skate Story Demo that'll do.

A screenshot from Skate Story. The world is abstract and vibrant. A skateboarder that is a demon made of glass stands in front of an obilisk that says "Please suffer silently and weep without us hearing, for this is the lowest of hells. Ponder the darker depths and practice utmost gratitude as you sleep."

A dirty truth about games: most of the time leadership is why a project fails or is cancelled, and even worse: those people go and start their own studios get investments because investors don't question the bro code, and the cycle continues.

Sometimes second chances aren't great

I really hate the dogwhistle "would you leave your front door open for anyone to come in" question. That's the wrong question.
The real analogy is "If a stranger knocked on your door and asked you for help, would you help them?"

and for me, the answer is yes, in a heartbeat. every time.

Very proud of my fellow Green councillors for proposing this motion. "We are a rich tapestry, we are strengthened by our diversity, and we must stand up as a council and as a city for that diversity, unite against the far right and the divisive narratives of them." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Back in ye ol' Tumblr days, I was posting Art Adams art like it was my job. Eventually, he heard about it and he and Joyce started sending me commissions and other pieces he thought I might enjoy posting. I just found the folder. wow.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Today marks two ongoing years of the Palestinian genocide. 67,000+ killed, 20,000 children, families pushed from home to road to rubble. Lost distant relatives, friends, and many people with dreams all because of an apartheid zionist policy. Free palestine today and forever ✊

Dear gaming industry: I got to speak now, as the siege on Gaza is entering its 8 day. I always thought this industry wanted to be better, most of us would consider ourselves liberals, critical thinkers, and hell even artist. But let me tell you: I'm ashamed of your silence.
