Oh man oh man just read the first issue of this and it RULES. Could not be more laser-targeted directly at me. Messy queer youths! Grand metafictional melodrama about the history of YA literature! Everyone's least favorite transphobic black mold! Cannot wait to see where it goes from here!

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

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!

Truly cannot wait for this one. A sequel to one of my absolute favorite books of the last decade! If you haven't read HENCH, you're in for a treat! A deliciously angry treat about fighting entrenched capitalistic systems with the glorious power of DATA and SPREADSHEETS!

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

I’m not even an Eagles hater! I don’t mind their music! I’m seeing them next weekend with my dad! But I sure would like them a lot more if they had embraced the prog rock surreality of that one track

my childhood love of the H2G2 radio show prompted me to get into the Eagles and I was deeply disappointed to find that none of the rest of their discography is nearly as weird as Journey of the Sorcerer
