I'm on my first ever PAX panel with an absolutely fantastic group of people! I hope to see you there!

i am so ridiculously seated for this

The myth that "video games make you violent" is very funny to me, because in my experience video games make you a freelance writer

fighting for your existence as a sentient being is normal for girls

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

this is such a “well yeah obviously” thing but man, having leon share a face model and VA across all the RE engine games adds so much to his character. you can see re2 leon peeking out every so often in re4 and you can see them both in requiem and it makes his arc so much more tragic.

i have just been made aware that linkedin has games now, for some reason. i really like that they’re so aware of how baffling this is as a feature that they added a “why we have games” button.

beat deadfire the other day and while i can’t pick a favorite between it and the first one, pillars as a series is easily up there in my top 10 all time favorites. i am so glad this IP got resurrected because if i never got to play another game set in eora i’d probably start eating people.

WRITING ADVICE: have a snuggly little kitty cat on your lap

it’s like the game knows how badly i want to be in a throuple with them and is mocking me about it

no no no you guys don’t understand i said A LITTLE pathetic. i also love sad wet cat in cardboard box men but that is a different category from what i’m talking about here. i think a big reason characters like leon and garrus are so beloved is the fact that their pathetic-ness is mixed in with-

The question on the lips of the nation: “Where is Warren Graham?”

omg a hit bleat

there is a secret sauce that makes male video game characters irresistible to women (regardless of sexuality) and it is called “making them a little pathetic”

Did obsidian look into my brain and make a game tailored specifically to what i like because that’s what playing deadfire feels like

finished pillars last night and holy fuck, one of the best games i’ve played in a long time. am i a crpg person now???? anyway, if i can’t do this with aloth and eder in deadfire you will see me on the news.

i just finished act 2 of pillars of eternity and holy balls dude this game is really really good

KEN JENNINGS IS WOKE?????

Nessa is funny, incredibly intelligent, a hell of a writer, and an asset to any dev team. Your game will be better if she works on it. That’s just a fact. Go hire her before someone else does!

hi everybody! I'm urgently looking for full-time game writing/narrative design work. I'm a 6-year industry pro working with both AAA and indie studios on titles like Borderlands 4, Endoparasitic, and [REDACTED]. I also edit and consult! Updated portfolio is live on my new site: www.nessacannon.com

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

made the mistake of starting ds2 immediately after beating ds1

Tomb of the giants pmo so bad i had to make bread about it

Huge for religious watchers of jenny nicholson’s vampire diaries video

This is not a drill!! Letter Lost demo is live on Steam!!!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3624790/...

i’m actually committing to finishing dark souls 1 this time and every time i feel myself getting greedy this image pops into my head and stops me

Look at him. Life is so beautiful ❤️

just finished @traindetective.bsky.social and absolutely adored it! i grew up on DS-era ADVs and this was such a fantastic love letter to one of my favorite genres. stunning artwork, charming characters, and a super intriguing mystery. cannot recommend highly enough!

a companion piece to that incredible infinite jest cover that’s been going around on twitter

this, on the other hand will increase my respect for you a hundred times over. i will let you merge. i might even walk up to your window and give you one thousand dollars in cash. you have earned your place on the road and i will move heaven and earth to protect it for you.

Cool news! I’m doing a talk at GDC with the incredibly talented @zoeraecalamar.bsky.social! If you’re a student without game education available to you, or just someone looking to pivot in their career, we’ve got you! Hope to see you there.

hey! look who’s doing a talk at GDC this year! the wonderful and talented @lucawriting.bsky.social and i will be talking about how to break into the games industry and DIY a narrative design education. see y’all in march!

leon’s back, baby

Oh ok

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Slant rhymes are a rot that we must excise from the music industry

ooh ooh me next! my writing career summed up in one image

You’re all listening to the sweet sweet sounds of #GETBRENT

If you happen to find my beautiful boy Soos in game, spare his life! Or don’t. (Thank you to my buddy @samwinkler.bsky.social for putting my cat in eternal mortal peril)

Meet our game in 20 seconds

as a fellow wordplay enjoyer and frequent laugher at my own jokes, i feel extremely represented by harlowe

Borderlands 4 is out today!!! I still cannot believe I got to work on this project, even in the small capacity I did. The team at Gearbox has cooked up something extremely special, and I’m so honored that my first shipped AAA credit (!) is on a series I love so much. Break free!

HILDEGARD VON BINGEN MENTIONED??????

BORDERLANDS 4 COMES OUT THIS WEEK!!!! I WORKED ON THAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.
