A sci-fi/space-themed graphic that reads: Jordan is going to New York Comic Con Friday October 10 2026. Are you a Cal Kestis, Merrin or Other Jedi: Survivor Cosplayer? Do you like Video Game UI? Do You Lick Stickers and Ribbons? Let's meet! A photo of Jordan is included: a tall, masculine-presenting half-asian adult with shiny black hair and a goatee, wearing a black sweater that reads "Please talk to me about Star Wars Jedi Survivor, a Game I Worked On".

Pasting over from Twitter - original Rex print, mid-customisation sticking a tiny scope on the pistol and close-up of finished detail

Teeny 3d print of captain rex, a few millimeters high

Helmet reshaped, even tinier scope being glued onto the pistol

Zoomed in photo of tiny deathtrooper lying on the palm of a hand, with every line in the skin of the hand clearly visible, showing the details of the paint job

zoom in for a surprise delivery from @ianhamilton.bsky.social who 3D printed and painted this even tinier Death Trooper

ian is the best, i'm beyond words

on a computer desk, a metal circular pedestal displays a LEGO death trooper minifigure. Standing at half the minifigure's height is a Micro Machines death trooper. And even tinier still, standing at the height of a pea, is a 3D printed and painted microscale death trooper

This was a quick and dirty job with a leftover string of 16 lighting panels, and not a lot of distance between each panel, so it was just winging it from floor to floor

you caught me

Jordan DeVries 🔜 NYCC @jordandevries.com · 4d

There are definitely better C3P0 minifig legs that are dual molded, like their keychains, and it does feel odd to not have that for a one thousand dollar LEGO set

A collage of photos: a fan presentation of Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor at Star Wars Celebration Japan; a pile of fan-made Star Wars trinkets given to Jordan; a custom Jedi Game Developer Badge clipped to a Darth Vader Bag, a LEGO-built Turgle, Jordan posing at the Respawn offices; Jordan and the Respawn Jedi UI team at Respawn's Offices; Jordan posing with fans at Celebration Japan while a cute kid takes their photo; Jordan holding up a copy of Simon Brewer's Pocket Mentor to Video Game UX UI; Jordan posing with Cal Kestis cosplayers at Dragon Con; a LEGO-Built riot stormtrooper; Jordan taking a selfie in a Christmas-themed Star Wars shirt

James Gunn pulled this Peacemaker character out of a ditch and turned him into some of the most gripping, human television you can watch. This second season is the real deal.

Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!
