There is no useful way to reckon with "People won't read news anymore, everything is doomed!" without acknowledging the extraordinary callousness toward readers—including the batshit UX—that has been completely normalized across the news web in the past 15 years. Just the shortest-term thinking.

Considering how much people freak out whenever we reboot a book, movie, or tv show, you’d think there would be a lot more outrage over rebooting the measles.

To the Wonder Woman fans: I’m sorry this happened. We were making something truly special, and you’d have loved it. I wish you could have walked the shores of our Themyscira.

To the games industry folks: Anyone looking for a senior quest designer with narrative experience?

I hope every laid off dev who poured their soul into a project understands and allows themselves to recognize that you need to grieve after. Like, seriously grieve.

It's a loss, a big one, and if you don't process it like grief, it will get stuck inside and rot, like any trauma.

Jennifer can explain how critical sociological understanding is to your worldbuilding, and write you great words.

You want Jennifer.
I am heartbroken. We were making something so beautiful, y'all.

I'm out of a job and I'm having a baby in ten weeks.

I'm terrified.

If your game needs a:

-game writer,
-narrative designer,
-recovering theater goth,
-or a lore-addled feral altruist whose love languages are flowcharts and memes

I'm available. 💜

With the news of Wonder Woman’s cancellation and the closure of Monolith Productions, I must unfortunately add my voice to the growing chorus of writers looking for work.

Before I do, however, I want to encourage recruiters to consider not only myself, but my colleagues.

single-dev auteur projects aside, i'm not sure it's possible to produce a video game of substance without some combination of furry and communist tendencies on staff.
