If you’re at FREAKON in Melbourne today, come see @maxfolkman.bsky.social and I talk about the most humiliating moment in our lives during the micro talks at 1PM! 👀👀👀👀👀👀

hate to say I told you so www.theverge.com/policy/69730...

god help me, I've gotten into magic the gathering

this article rocks

Asked my daughter what she thought of her first viewing of THE THING and got this in response.

Apologies to the excited airport security worker who thought he was meeting the Property Brothers until he realized he was just meeting us

On Wednesday evening, developers began to notice their games were being unceremoniously delisted or outright removed from Itch.io. Itch's founder says it's the direct result of a financial censorship campaign from Collective Shout, an org with ties to anti-porn groups www.wired.com/story/steam-...

Given the 616 pages, I'm assuming this is just the cine scripts, which is really cool! One day tho I hope the larger studios start publishing/posting their gameplay scripts too b/c they're the bulk of the player experience, much more unique to our medium, and sooo much more useful to learn from

hey what's up. we are actually hiring a Whole Bunch of writers now www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Dropped a new ep of @scriptlock.bsky.social yesterday w/ @karriebear.bsky.social & Ros Dachtler! 🔥 Lots of great discussions around who/what taught them the most about storytelling, things they've had to unlearn, changing games in response to fans, and more! scriptlock.simplecast.com/episodes/kar...

This is his time.

the yakuza fanbase figured out years ago that as long as they don't care how similar a game looks to its predecessor, they can play a brand new game that's an instant banger roughly every two years or so, often with pretty good spin-offs on the off-years

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane. This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

@lostincult.co.uk hi! Is there any update on when the Enhance Soundworks Collection will start shipping? Your website says Spring 2025, but I’m assuming that’s changed?

To anyone being hit by layoffs today, It's not you. It's them. It isn't your fault. It's theirs. You didn't do anything wrong. They did. They fucked up. Not you.

IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW IM ORDERING A PIZZA IM NOT GOING TO THE GYM TOMORROW MORNING WE’RE PARTYING ALL NIGHT LONG

For folks with a negative reaction to Mexican flags at LA protests, a little familiarity with the history & culture of California--and LA in particular--might change your mind. These protests are to protect local communities, not to appeal to white people watching from afar. They are organically LA.

ICE raids tried to split LA apart, but might have made it stronger. From coordinating wildfire relief to blocking ICE buses, community organizers say LA County residents keep proving that in a city of strangers, nobody fights alone.

If you’re a film fan in LA from now until the middle of June, go check out the Film School art exhibition at GR2! Sooooo many pieces, all hand-painted, and all absolutely stunning!!!

The kids are all right. Even at Harvard. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Why is figuring out how to structure scenes and the best way to fit all the story pieces together my favorite part of the writing process when so much of it is me going gggraAAASGGGHHHHH THIS PIECE DOESNT FIT (YET) OH GOD THIS ONE DOESN'T FIT EITHER

I can never move away from Los Angeles because what if I miss Kore-eda coming into town to do Q&As for a whole series of his films

Skin Deep is finally out!!!! I've been waiting YEARSSSSS to play it and am so so so so so stoked to run wild like a little freak in ALL of the space corridors

It’s true! We’re looking to add a new writer to the team. (Onsite here in Finland only.)

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

There is almost no dignity in many (most?) jobs and I don’t know why we keep letting them say shit like this. We were not put on this earth to work!! The puritans were the villains, not the protagonists!!!

It’s a good day indeed when I discover that Roger Deakins interviewed the cinematographer of Chicken Run on his podcast teamdeakins.libsyn.com/tristan-oliv...

Seeing John Carpenter getting interviewed by Bong Joon-ho was def worth rushing home from GDC for

I didn’t think it was possible to hate AI more until I learned that it’s the reason we’re not going to be getting the Andor episode scripts collider.com/andor-season...

Todd Phillips, of all people, was right about this. Unless you are a Warner Bros Discovery shareholder, whether or not Mickey 17 or Joker 2 or anything else recoups its budget is not relevant to you!

Best studio head I've ever worked under. Genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his employees, is incredibly honest, open to changing his mind on things, and admits when mistakes were made. No studio's perfect, but a lot of the things I love about Insom are b/c of the values Ted instilled into it

LA freelancers! Don't forget to file your business tax renewal: finance.lacity.org/renewal They're delinquent if submitted after Feb 28th! And if you've never filed for a Small Business Tax Exemption/Creative Artists Exemption, you should def look into it! finance.lacity.gov/self-employe...

This is VERY important for anyone you know affected by the Los Angeles fires who is currently raising funds on GoFundMe: FEMA does not cover expenses already paid for by other sources. So be careful with how you word your fundraisers—this has affected people who survived other natural disasters.

I think it also should be mentioned that the person who really got this going was Rick Caruso, the West Coast Trump/developer who Bass kicked the ass of in the election, and who falsely spread conspiracy theories about fire hydrants in the same radio interview.

Also for those who don’t use it already Purple Air is a far more accurate air quality reference than the more general AQI on the weather apps. map.purpleair.com/air-quality-...

Sitting at my office desk in Burbank, which is right next to a balcony, and the wind outside sounds like when you’re near the ocean and hear waves crashing against the beach 😬

It's the final hours of a Kickstarter campaign to fund a documentary on Kent Melton. Kent was a legendary sculptor and The Boxtrolls would not have happened without his amazing skills. A worthy project to help out if you're able! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar... #animation #laika #art
