checkitout! chatted with my good friend Hank green about all things business but more importantly homestar runner
![A screenshot from Sam's conversation with Hank Green on The Verge. The excerpt reads: Interesting. Is there, on the list of reasons that you like this or want to do this, we talked about this before, but let’s end here with this. Is [the idea] that people aren’t doing things weird enough, and you want to do things weird, on that list? One hundred percent. You and I have connected a lot on the topic of Homestar Runner over the years. Homestar Runner may be hugely responsible for my career taking the direction it has. It was incredibly influential on me. And something I loved about it was like, it felt like a walled garden of weird that existed at a URL. Yeah. That resonates. And I think about how sometimes I wish that I could plant a forest full of weird trees on the internet. I wish that the internet were still a place where, just like there was really fun, mysterious, hopeful stuff that existed a URL away. I would hope that Dropout can just be one of those things."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uf7wpvqaghuj7rh4iwdauod/bafkreidh4pqxygxynzvh2g2pxgbnifou4w435zq5duk6igkpms2smqhovq@jpeg)

Okay but for real: @samreich.bsky.social really should consider picking up the incredible Polygon video folks. Hard to think of a better match.
Sam, if you do see this, feel free to ping me and I can connect you with great folks!

There weren't enough jobs for people before. There aren't enough jobs for people now. We are just going to lose dozens of dozens of people who thoughtfully cover, critique, and investigate the video game industry forever. It is a profound loss that will not be recovered.

5 tongue-in-cheek game writing exercises that are a more realistic representation of what most game writers do (in my experience) than a branching dialog tree:

Kirk Hamilton had this very practical reason for games writers to read widely and it came down to the simple fact that writing in games is burdened with so much work that art was secondary, also you are barraged by PR blasts and talking points. you need to remind yourself what words can do.
the truth is a lot of Big Games with Good Stories are honestly Not Very Good in comparison to similar works in other media. Doesn't mean they aren't fun or very likable but I think games media needs to be careful with how it talks about a lot of these games.
