I’m a lapsed trombone player, and always felt a bit sad that it wasn’t a very… cool instrument.

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

Tales of Lost Ages is sitting below that 10 review threshold for Steam User Score (and a corresponding bump in the Steam Algorithm)
Especially with holiday sales coming up, it would be a massive help to get that review count up to 10. If you've played the game, please consider leaving a review

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.
