Every year, I reread the LotR trilogy. This last year's reread amped me up and I started keying Middle-earth 12 miles at a time Concurrently, without meaning to, I wrote a game to run the hexcrawl I call it Lore - a Lord of the Rings Adventure Game retroclone Here's what I think is fun about it🧵

Why should that stop you? Terrible writing gets published all the time.

We finally have two good dad games: Bioshock 2 and Pragmata. (Three, if Death Stranding counts, I guess.)

Pragmata rules!! It’s the kind of offbeat game that I want more of.

Lifted from my sketchbook 🕯️

Thanks for all the new follows! If you're interested in Project Margrave, I'd love if you stopped by my Discord. It's got references for all the characters + mechs, plus an illustrated prologue dropping very, very soon! discord.gg/margrave

I made a coiled sword for my home bonfire and posted it in the dark souls reddit and got comments asking how people could commission one. I replied "sorry, I can't discuss that here, I'm not allowed to self promote" and got a permanent ban for "self promotion by admitting you take coms elsewhere"

what the fuck is writing scaling

My brain was made to paint vivid landscapes of unreal worlds or draw lesbians but instead I’m using my vital life energy to do work that should have been done (by my coworkers) three weeks earlier, and then to scrape together enough energy to bring my car to the car wash after work.

left 4 dead and its sequel are full of some of the best small details and bits of environmental storytelling you can find in games. valve's jay pinkerton told me it's because the team opened up the writing process to the whole studio. as others have said about L4D's graffiti: AI could never

My hometown took out the trash last night and voted to oust the MAGA mayor after his failure to do anything to stop ICE from kidnapping our neighbors. He had been mayor for TWENTY-SIX YEARS!! Also, my mom taught 5th grade and one of her students just got elected to city council. Let’s fucking go!

LRT: Be *really* careful about headlines nowadays, I remember seeing two *strikingly* similar headlines back in January attributing a quote that “we shouldn’t push for new dem leadership now” to both AOC and then Mamdani, respectively. Dunno if either actually said that, lol.

I am exhausted from a day of book writing, but I had to see if this headline was accurate, and ... yeah, no, it isn't.

The Song of Achilles ✨ #TSOA

I have some apprehension about next week, but I’m sensing positive change on the wind.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

Great Nimble 5e session that briefly became a Giant Robo fight with a horrible mutated Crocodile kaiju. I got to stand on the shield guardian’s shoulders and shout commands and everything. Art by @grungomungis.bsky.social, who is also DMing.

THE POWERPUFF GIRLS WAS SUPER POPULAR WITH YOUNG BOYS WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE

Depths of Bulbapedia

Hold on

Acoustic Biked home for the first time in months. Cheese curds and beer sound really good right about now……..

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Jesus Christ, what else is there to say

Bought a sick as hell shirt yesterday….

Do you think Shotaro Ishinomori shouted "I'M A GENIUS!" when he figured out you can convincingly depict super speed on a comic page by drawing less? Because he was and it is.

oh, this is very important to know!!

Fuck this. As an industry, we are in an existential crisis of book banning because of homophobia and transphobia weaponized by racist authoritarians. “Dirty books” are not the problem. Censorship is. Make whatever books you like, but don’t you dare call other books dirty in your shitty marketing.

Gonna draw so many hobbits when I get a new job

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Pokémon - Nap Time I hid a ton of Pokémon in this piece. How many can you find?

After Trump is gone, everyone who supported him will act like they never did. Keep records, keep receipts, remember, and never ever let them live it down.

Every single American politician of the last 45 years has been lobbying day and night to melt the coolest person in the world in a nuclear fireball.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

I don’t mean to be dramatic but this motherfucker needs to be gone gone and anyone who worked for him, enabled him, supported him, or voted for him needs to be in prison at best
