Hey bluesky! I recently passed my 5 year anniversary as #wotcstaff, so I figure introducing myself here will also be a great chance to look back at all I've done over that time. Here's a thread of all* the Magic products I've worked on so far!

(*It's not even close to all, but I don't have all day)

Ok New Yorkers do your thing. It’s 7pm and I’m in Chelsea. Where should I eat?

Do you have a brother?

I need that Marvel vs Capcom iconic dap up image but it’s Paper Mario and Gustave Clair Obscur.

This thought brought to you by the TSA line on 4 hours of sleep

Kind of insane that the last two video games I’ve played, in any other year, would have easily been game of the year by a wide margin.

I really need a clair obscur speedrun category called "Baguette %" where it's just the fastest you can get all your party members to wear the stupid outfits.

Chris Mooney @chriskmooney.bsky.social · 2d

I know!

Chris Mooney @chriskmooney.bsky.social · 2d

I was shocked when they let me choose, and I enjoyed how both played out!

Chris Mooney @chriskmooney.bsky.social · 3d

I switched to story if a hallway fight took me more than 3 turns three times in a row.

Chris Mooney @chriskmooney.bsky.social · 3d

Ok so I did end up binging the rest of Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Great ending! Honestly one of my favorite final villains… of all time?

IMO, great experience over all. I can see a hundred reasons why someone would hate this game, and a thousand reasons why someone would love it.

My fiance is obsessed with this show currently

How much story content is there in act 3 (I simply will not be doing all the side content I’ve done more than enough already lol)

The reveal at the end of Clair Obscur act 2 is really cool. But I’m definitely torn now on if I should continue or not. About to be traveling a bunch and won’t have another 10 hours or whatever to finish act 3. 🤔

The success of Clair Obscur proves definitively that Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door was, in fact, the GOAT all these years.

It’s not really fair that I’m sick this weekend given I didn’t even get to go to the con

Chris Mooney @chriskmooney.bsky.social · 4d

I probably would have quit weeks ago

Chris Mooney @chriskmooney.bsky.social · 4d

Unironically I thought that was one of its key killer features up until now!

Chris Mooney @chriskmooney.bsky.social · 4d

This week I learned that the ability to quick restart fights in Expedition 33 was added in a patch after release. Sometimes it pays to play games late!

Sadly I woke up sick today so I can’t make the stream, but the rest of my #wotcstaff friends will be streaming all day for a great cause!

Next week I will be at NYCC talking about Avatar. I'll be able to stick around after the panel to chat with magic fans and sign things.

My panel is at 3:30 on sunday, but if you want to get in I HIGHLY recommend showing up MUCH earlier. At SDCC it was fully packed!

Looking for a mutual friend to share an AirBnB with me and some other very cool #wotcstaffers for CubeCon. It's a sick lakeside bungalo, please message if you're still looking for accommodation.

People: “What’s the hardest part of your job? Coming up with new ideas? Dealing with conflicting feedback? Designing against thousands of existing cards?”

Me: “The printers have never worked a day in their life.”
