Signalis is one of the best survival horror games you can play right now, it’s like Silent Hill 2 but in the future and you’re a lesbian robot. Absolutely killer game

In all seriousness, I decided to become a game writer because I played a game with terrible writing and thought, "I could at least write this badly."

You know, when we were all wishing to live in "Precedented Times" I don't think these specific times were the ones people had in mind

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

you: what are we having for dinner game designer: great question. i wrote some pillars to help us align on a good outcome here. you, reading: wait, this pillar is just "food must be edible," that seems pretty vague game designer: ah, that's where the secondary pillars about Edibility come into play

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

I was a Firaxis narrative designer/writer and lost my job today. Any help sharing leads on new opportunities would be great! Over 3.5 years, I contributed to Civilization VII and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, helping turn maps, mechanics, and chaos into memorable stories. See my work benreeves.carrd.co

I aspire to, one day, be as pithy and witty when hating as Oscar Wilde. It is an empty aspiration- as I don't have that much wit or hatred in my heart- but it is an aspiration nonetheless.

In light of Silksong's release: OH HEY - did you know that there was another game that was a sequel to a beloved platformer that took seven years to develop with no crunch or drama and also released in September? That's right: FREEDOM PLANET 2 is gonna celebrate its third anniversary this year!
