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!

DREAM INTERVIEW ACHIEVED
I spoke with Makoto Yukimura about penning the final volume of Vinland Saga. We also spoke candidly about the J. Cole "I have no enemies" meme, my procrastinated tattoo idea, the state of the world, and how being strong means being kind. gizmodo.com/vinland-saga...

my father in law asked me about this once because he thought there was some ideological cabal at work within gaming journalism and i absolutely ripped him a new one and had to explain all the ways it directly impacted me and how scary that was AND how lucky i was as a cis white dude during it

thatgamecompany (Journey, Flower) made an animated film, Sky: The Two Embers, for it's latest game, Sky: Children of the Light.

...but it doesn't quite have the same magic, and I suspect an interactive element is core to the spells the company has previously cast.

I... really liked just wandering around in Ghost of Yotei, actually.

I had more fun exploring Ghost of Yotei than I have in any other open-world game – not just this year, but ever

💉 my essay for the new 4k restoration premiering today at @ifccenter.bsky.social:

www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

The best Silent Hill movie is the underrated '90s horror that originally inspired the games, and it's now back in theaters with a terrifying new restoration

Season one of The Sisters Grimm is streaming now on Apple TV+! We made this show for kids, but parents will enjoy it, too, because, like the books it’s based on, it’s smart and doesn’t talk down to anyone, which I’m really proud of. Watch it here and watch it a lot! apple.co/thesistersgrimm

i struggle with this a bit because my impulsive thought is so heavily colored by *when* magic was important to *me* (my heart lives in the weatherlight saga and dies with the nine titans on phyrexia) so have been cautious in my approach to new stuff

Rollin Bishop @rollin.bsky.social · 6d

yeah to be clear i'm saying that the General Vibe™ i get from folks is Universes Beyond Bad not that you're necessarily saying so here!

but agree with you that omenpaths is a misfire at best

Rollin Bishop @rollin.bsky.social · 6d

i'm less cold on universes beyond in general than a lot of my peers but cam's got some smart thoughts and compelling arguments here

I think Magic: The Gathering is at an extremely bad place right now, and I think the recent Spider-Man set is a true low point. I went slightly wild in my @endlessmode.bsky.social column this week about it. Tune in for the phrase "suckling hogs" www.endlessmode.com/tabletop/mag...

Marvel’s Spider-Man and Through the Omenpaths Are A Bad Omen For Magic’s Future

Magic: The Gathering fans have been dealt a bad hand with the card game's unexciting, misguided new Spider-Man set.
