i'm Unwell about the .hack// news. what if we get more seesaw on the soundtrack. what then. what if chikayo fukuda can use an Actual Orchestra instead of midi instruments. i'm in disbelief. i'm shaken to my core.

i'm levitating and my eyes are glowing. you can't see it but you have to trust me. .hack//infection is the foundation on which my entire personality is laid.

Been a bit nervous about announcing this, but I was the Lead Writer on this week long game jam that turned into a YEAR LONG GAME JAM. 😅 From many of the same freaks that brought you OnlyCans! Date your guns! Meditate on the nature of isolation! Fight the deep state! Get divorced! Love a worm!

It's been so heartwarming (heh) to see folks' reactions to our new Heart's Week event. It was such a joy to work on these quests and I'm proud of what we pulled off so excuse this indulgent post! #ESOfam

lrp freeing up income does NOT mean creating room for infinite fidelity + demanding consumer get cutting edge hardware. more people playing more games on midrange hardware = more opportunity to create lasting audiences + content niches = solve for our marketing/discoverability problem also! win-win!

Aura’s right. Games are a luxury entertainment product. The hardware cost and time commitments to play them are greater than other entertainments. Gamedevs have (or should have) a vested interest politically in widespread leisure time and disposable income.

it is really easy right now to get despondent over the state of healthcare but chise is always posting about progress on breakthrough therapies and is a beacon of vaccination information.

someday — stop, listen to me. someday someone is going to try to make another film adaptation of ayn rand's the fountainhead and they are going to figure out how to capture the psychosexual energy of peter keating. and there will be fancams like we've never seen before. this is a threat

Oh, okay. I was either having a processing error, or something that the shows I watch call a “rage blackout,” or another emotional collapse.

every valentine's day is a good valentine's day to watch penelope (2006). starring christina ricci and james mcavoy and catherine o'hara and peter dinklage and reese witherspoon. if you even care

i don't think i posted it last year but happy valentine's day, i keep a curated playlist of love songs because i am a giant sap. i share it every year for funsies it is legitimately one of the only curated playlists i have

i have had my windows open literally all day to air out my apartment and let some sun in. i feel Healed.

Ariana Grande saying “gimme the LOOT” on 7 Rings is more important to me than both Wicked films. which mean nothing to me

i bought too much fruit at the grocery store in a kind of haze

happy (early) Valentine’s Day!! watch out for cupid’s arrows out there!! ❤️💘👼

i have learned this year that most people think i'm younger than i am so my college kid downstairs neighbor, while petting my dog, asked how old he was. when i said "oh like six or seven" he made the hand gesture and then kind of laughed and only then felt the Aura of Old come off me

i fear i saw too much sun today. i yearn for fruit and the smell of beautiful honeysuckle. i yearn to wear all my fun dresses.

Also if you're looking for very niche themed Valentine cards, here you are

i am trying so hard to not pop off on social media all the time but rest assured i sit here scrolling like

it’s above 40 degrees in february and so I am unfortunately spring-pilled. I’ve got the windows open and I’m thinking about clearing off the grill. I am confident this heatwave will continue forever and I will not have my heart broken by another 48 inches of snow in march

Whooaaa it’s real! So many smart, talented, big-brained writers and I wrote essays in this. If you love games and game narrative, you’re gonna fall in love with this book, trust me

Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question: "why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]" It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good. loadbearingtomato.com/p/why-chasin...

planned a late galentine's day with some friends for next week and i have already planned my entire look

It was nice working with smart humans. Now if I could just keep them all alive.

tfw everyone always talks about women in stem but never about women in branch or trunk

yea i work out. im trying to work out how i can own a home in this economy.

sun is staying out longer and is now at the angle where i get a Good Sunbeam through the window by my desk, which is nice and also means my pets spend more time on the cushion near me. this also unfortunately implies that they are farting near me more often

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

games people are best people. industry sucks rn but i feel like over and over the devs around me just keep proving that the community is worth being a part of.

my mom got me a l'occitane hand cream for christmas two years ago and at this point i've begun rationing it because it is the best hand cream i've ever used ever, it is saving my mitts this winter, but it is also thirty four american dollars and i am just not in that hand cream tax bracket

my dog's chew bone went through shrinkflation ... are there no lows ...

rewatching ffx cutscenes to for my essay and i stand by my opinion that squenix is sleeping on a blitzball game. i want the spirituality of ffx mixed with the panache and camp of ffx-2. i want to feel Cool bopping around in that stupid water orb. i want to play on the duggles (real team in ffx)

how many more times will i foolishly acquire a perfume sample only to discover that it is a Variation on Vanilla.

had my first meeting with my new mentee today (shout out game production guild) and it has cured my writer's block bigly. just got back from dinner and am so excited to sit down and chew on some analytical writing.

the vibes could not be more disparate rn
