Everybody is saying that you should hire me to absolutely nail the look of your characters in 2026

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

Studio head in the 70s: So me and Nicholson end up in a fist fight on Sunset but then I let him bang my wife next thing you know we all got Oscars Studio Head now: the optimization of art based on the constraints of quality via context based audience biometrics is built into our content algorithm

Well Atrus, I made it to Myst island, despite your directions.

I keep seeing the montages of voice actors on tik tok saying “I’m a voice actor…” and then doing one of their famous lines. I made my own attempt at it. Plus, nobody really sees me do Oglethorpe.

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.

always knew the burrito taxi industry was scummy but this is the most unfathomably evil, cartoon villain shit I’ve read in a while. jfc

There is an incredible Michael Frith exhibit at the Bermuda National Gallery right now. Fun fact: Fraggle Rock is based on people he knew and his life in Bermuda!

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Thanks for trying little guy. We'll give it another shot soon.

What could it mean...

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Please note: I am only accepting positive feedback for the rest of 2025.

Too real

What do you mean you’re talking about incentive I solved that exactly one year ago barilleon.com/reel-in-your...

Replaying Ghost Trick on my 3DS and YEP it still kicks ass. Play Ghost Trick. I cannot believe there is only one of these man.

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Just in time for Mysterium, we bring you our Summer 2025 edition, featuring our thoughts on Myst (2020)'s new Rime update, a report on the 2025 RAD contest, music by Sasha Strange and more! thecaverntoday.com/tct-51-infin...

do you think it feels good to have the protagonist of myst click on you

Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips: 1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS 2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

I've been trying to tell y'all FOR YEARS!

Like COME ON Bermuda, take it down a notch

@gilespink.bsky.social always told me Bermuda was essentially Riven, turns out he was CORRECT

Happy Not Christmas Day, to those that celebrate.

Just want to put out feelers for a TTRPG writer/dev or two who would be interested in collaborating on a pulpy scifi/fantasy project in 2026 with myself and another artist/writer. Ideally someone who'd fuck with "Frank Frazetta but queer" as an aesthetic. Would love 2 chat if this sounds interesting

there is a genre of person who hates AI in *their* field but sees how it could be useful in *other,* less prestigious, fields; ignore them. they are not trying to save the ship. they are just racing you to the lifeboats

I've heard from a few folks that the Dash Rendar story may not be accurate. Maybe the dev who told it to me misremembered or was just goofing, but either way it feels worth sharing the rebuttal below.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Laura Palmer's Theme

I wrote an article about dialogue choice as part of a narrative designer’s toolkit *aside* from branching, instead considering how choice can invite us to *perform* a character. My case study is South of Circle’s beautiful fuzzy meaning-making (using symbols instead of words). 💜 Give it a go!

oh my fucking god

I was told by an ex Lucasarts designer I worked with at Telltale that Dash Rendar, the main character of Shadows of the Empire, got his name from the command the engineers used to update the scene: -render

Happy holidays! We've dropped down the chimney w/ the INCREDIBLE gifts of @yurilowenthal.bsky.social & @nhitendo.bsky.social! We talk auditions, working w/ directors, relationships w/ studios, and more -- and here they are talking about imposter syndrome: scriptlock.simplecast.com/episodes/yur...

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears. Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

I'm always saying this.

PSA: Please do not send me or my colleagues your story ideas for the game we're actively working on. Especially do not send us your long, detailed manifesto about what changes we should make and your ideas for improving the story. We can't read it. We won't read it. Don't do it!

🥰🥰🥰 it’s very nice to get to celebrate my friends ❤️❤️❤️ @gilespink.bsky.social @erikaishii.bsky.social

This from @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's Welcome to Hell World newsletter. Spontaneous delight is one of my main reasons for being alive so, yeah. This sucks.
