I just binged 1000xResist this weekend and yes, it is exactly as good as you heard. One of the best narrative games I've ever played. Took me about 12 hours to beat it and it's so worth your time. I'm honestly still thinking about it and piecing everything together.

One of my favorite indie games this year. If you're at all into turn based RPGs and games with emotional depth, I highly recommend it!

What is the most stereotypical thing about you and the region you live in or are from? Me: I'm from Delaware County, Pennsylvania and every time I go home I eat a Wawa hoagie. (Classic Italian, naturally.)

Yeah ok, I’m doing this. Here is some advice for aspiring game writers. Do not come into games wanting to be a game writer with the attitude that all you are going to write are the cinematics. Fact: a game’s story is not about the cinematics. 🧵

my team has an open historian position. history nerds, come through!

Four games I've worked on:

Thought I'd do a thread on being hired as a Writer / Narrative Designer in games, since I've been on both sides of the process. Here's some answers to frequently asked questions. Opinions my own, mileage may vary, etc. 🧵

Repost with your 5 favorite reads this year (so far): The City We Became - N.K. Jemisin The World We Make - N.K. Jemisin The Last Murder at the End of the World - Stuart Turton That Time I Got Drunk... (Series) - Kimberly Lemming Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights - Multiple Authors

I finished up Dragon Age: The Veilguard as of last night. I have mixed feelings, but it's still a 4/5 game for me. Overall I enjoyed my time with it. I think it was also really lifted up by its excellent endgame, but I shall endeavor not to spoil.
