Wait hold up TWO games I’ve worked on are nominees? 😭 Spirit Swap in the Black Voice in Gaming category (this one‘s for @maximumcrash.com and every Black team member who touched this game and made it so special!) Wanderstop in the Emotional Impact category HEY TEAM IVY ROAD LOOK AT YOU BABY 🫶🏼💕💕💕

this shot makes David Dastmalchian look like the one true successor to Peter Lorre, and I love this for all of us

"To some degree, I have been able to leverage my experience, reputation, or resume -- which is like maybe 10% deserved and 90% circumstantial -- to create opportunities for other people." @joelburgess.bsky.social on the eve of Ambrosia Sky's release. www.patreon.com/posts/what-i...

How does an #indiestudio create a soundtrack for their 17th century folk horror game? Step one: Hire a badass audio team. Step two: let them be their weird, wonderful selves. @chrisrickwood.bsky.social made his own tagelharp (YES - handmade!), then he also tracked down a hurdy-gurdy just for us.

Sadly, we're just too late to see an Agnes Varda Poison Ivy.

There will be no AGI, there will be no colonization of mars and no robot helpers, not made by any of these people, because they don’t make anything, they manipulate stocks and build houses of cards with shell corporations

After an hour of insanity, Paul closes with a jolt of chilling sincerity, saying "Thank you for making me feel wanted" and "In case I don't see you for a while..." Then, "Disco Baby" kicks in. And Paul kisses Margaret Hamilton on the damn mouth. Perfect. God bless us, everyone! #Heistoween

Every once in a while I feel a little adrift—until I remember to check the extremely normal covers of My Life, My Way, a Japanese gay magazine published from 1977-1982.
