Among Us is having a birthday stream where we talk about, among other things, Among Us Story: On Guard! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgpu...

It used to be that we complained about this industry because the work is hard, hours are long, pay is meh, and the audience for our work hates us. Now also your career is likely to get tossed into a wood chipper by an MBA vampire who couldn't explain your job if someone put a gun to their head.

Sylvia is going mad with power. You should all check it out, it's great.

And it's here! Episode 2 of Kinbasket is out. You can see what Agent Weaver has been up to wherever you get your podcasts, or at the youtube link below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibcc...

What's great is, not only is this quote just a flagrant lie, every part of it is individually untrue. This is the "I'll call you later" of AI use.

Not sick of our voices yet? Got 2hrs of tasks to crank through and need some voices in your ear? We talk about the differences between AAA and indie video game development, life as professional creatives & the joy of storytelling! Check out our interview with the lovely @ghildirthalen.bsky.social

After listening to their new audio drama, 'The Concierge', I contacted @northmiststudios.bsky.social's Sarah, Mary, and Sylvia (Former Dragon Age devs) to talk about what they are cooking over in Canada! And they were super sweet to answer my DA questions as well 😘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAxo...

Hey folks! An Alberta animal rescue has opted to decline a donation due to the origins (there's an entire history with that business). People are already harassing the organization on Facebook for not caring about the animals, etc. If you can, please donate: tailstotell.ca/donate/

guess tanks and support classes just have to hold it same as always

We're back, and we have so many shennanigans.

"My Grandfather's Cat" is a cross-Canada organization that helps dying seniors find homes for their beloved animals. They also offer a senior's pet food pantry, to help support low income seniors. Please consider donating as a gift for the pet lover in your life. www.mygrandfatherscat.ca

You know that the shingles vaccine not only keeps you from getting shingles, it reduces your dementia risk? Yeah. That's a thing. I am practically counting the days to get mine. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

So you think you're emotionally prepared enough for this level of puns? @marykirby.bsky.social 's season 1 scripts beg to differ. As our profound THANK-YOU to our supporters, you can find them on www.patreon.com/cw/NorthMist... available to our members of the "Cup o' Brew" tier and higher! ❤️🗡️🍁

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

I apologize in advance for the puns in all the scene names.* *not really.

Happy Dragon Age Day! I'll be posting some things I've made this year! Here's my second post: I've been animating the Inquisition creature codex! This one happens to feature "Tuskets", written by @briannebattye.bsky.social! Enjoy! #dragonageday #dragonage

💜💜💜

Should also mention that the extended cut (2hr) Tent Talk is available on Patreon, free to tier members. We go into depth about crafting narrative, stories from our careers and more about a brand new video game that may or may not exist. Mostly we just laugh a lot. www.patreon.com/posts/season...

Happily sharing the upcoming Veilguard livestream featuring an awesome cast of folks! I was writer-on-call for a bunch of @willynilly123.bsky.social 's recording sessions. He brought tons of life and care to Lucanis and Thedas!

This cover was even stolen ones by one of those T-shirt scam places! Like, this book gets hit so much, so if you could show it some love that would be great.

ANYWAY, please go and listen to THE CONCIERGE, brought to you by the real humans at @northmiststudios.bsky.social Season 2 (🎉🎉🎉) drops December 16, so you have time to catch up.

Sunday, November 23 - 10:30 AM Alberta Legislature Transgender Day of Remembrance rally “We gather to honour those we’ve lost, to uplift our trans community, and to stand united in the face of harmful legislation and escalating attacks. The UCP’s attacks won’t stand. Alberta is better than this.”

Chris Scott composed our theme song (he's also the voice of Steward!) Should check out his stuff when you get the chance. Andrew Sutherland is our other composer who did the club music, pin ball machine music and a bunch of others in there! All super talented local Edmonton folks ❤️

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Love you @scrivenerapp.bsky.social, glad you’re not buying into this shit

It’s what the cool kids are doing.

You have no idea how much this made my day.

The thing we love about art, the connection between human beings across time and space and the sharing of emotion and expression, that's the thing the AI backers specifically hate. They just want objects to buy and sell which can't criticize or question them, or ever make them think.

Rian Johnson really just woke up one day and said “that’s it, I’m single-handedly (with my large casts and crews) bringing back the whodunit and making it everyone’s problem”. Good for him!

1. Companies fire employees and replace with gen AI 2. Gen AI makes bad stuff. 3. Companies hire people to fix it (and pay less, because the employees are new/"just" editing/freelances without benefits). 4. Somehow this is hailed as job creation.

Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
