The only acceptable Baldur's Gate 3 tv show is a painstakingly faithful recreation of the game with the entire cast as Muppets and Mads Mikkelsen as only human character, the Dark Urge.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

"You can marry the sea" The iron grip that Fallen London has on me is not even funny at this point. Send help.

The state of this industry is so impossibly unfair. None of it makes sense. I'm angry for my friends, and it feels like it never stops.

Finally back to the stream! Come, grab a cozy drink and join me for a relaxed evening of felt crafts and obscure holiday facts, only on #twitch www.twitch.tv/fairemortal

The narrative team at Monolith. Heroes and amazing folks who put their heart and soul into what we were making. #RIPMonolith

It's been a long year but my housemates are playing acoustic guitar softly for my cat and I think that's beautiful.

As a treat, I'm going to enjoy the holiday next weekend by tricking out my manual chair to convert it to a hybrid with a battery-operated smart drive. I bartered various goods and was able to snag a motor in good working order. I will not only be a menace. I will be a speedy menace. 🔥

Words can't express how excited I am to see this series from /noclip. A singular project from an equally singular team. 🪩

The cancellation of Future Class speaks volumes. If we want to foster the next generation of game devs, we will have to do it ourselves 😤 www.polygon.com/the-game-awa...

"AI is a tool." No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal. Stop validating it, even in passing.

...some meaningful commentary woven into their DNA that can change you, if you let it. Games are a punk art form. Punch up. Scare the bullies. Say something true even if it scares you.

I have a soft spot for "fail forward" game design. We learn from our mistakes - and by making failure fun - we learn to be less afraid of taking interesting risks. The world doesn't end when we stumble. Games don't need to either. ♥️

Writing is great. You invent a little guy, you can even make him a nice little guy. And then you shake him as hard as physically possible and give him the worst day of his life. Love it.

There's A LOT going on right now, but R.F. Kuang's latest book feels like it was lovingly crafted specifically for my neurodivergent carpet bag of special interests. So that's nice. ♥️ #katabasis #booksky

I think it should remain possible to work professionally on video games

I am down to my final pass on downsizing my overgrown book collection. Plenty go back to the book shops, more to Little Free Libraries. A half-dozen small boxes go to stay with relatives, like children on an extended holiday.

I want to ask the world to be gentle with us. After all, this is our first time.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life. 🫂

Some nights, the prose comes easily and the word count flies. Other nights, I flog the same rote paragraphs over and over. Guess what kind of night it is.

quick question everybody, DevCom 2026?

My friend and fellow indie dev, the one and only Benji Kay, made something ✨amazing✨ that is coming out today. It's got: -First-person survival gameplay -Gorgeous arctic scenery -Court-mandated therapy bot Buy his game. You'll love it

No stream tonight. Next week, I promise we will be up to more crafty nonsense, book discussions, and spooky occult shenanigans. 🫶

In the spirit of good-natured ribbing, "Xalavier does a viral bit" is the center free space in 2025 Game Dev Bingo. 💛

Re: news Everyone can feel what they're gonna feel. Hell, make some art out of it, or throw a party, or let it drive you into the arms of your people. But damn, let the tender ones have a way to process too. Introversion, silence, or an aversion to violence, isn't the red letter you think it is.

I for one am happy to know which celebrities willingly opt in to trans genocide.

A belated announcement! I'm so pleased to share that this July I joined OtherSide Entertainment as a Narrative Designer for their next title. It's everything I could have dreamed of, and even more that I couldn't have imagined. 🌱

Come join me for galaxy paintings and chill vibes, live only on Twitch.tv/fairemortal

I tried a new approach to my writing tonight and finished a short story (inc. research, outline, and draft) in under two hours. My secret? 1) rabbit hole on your niche special interests 2) leverage your trauma

It's a Post PAX wrap up! Come pull up a chair, fair mortals, and let's decompress, talking ttrpgs and tarot as we get ready for the week ahead <3 Live at Twitch.tv/fairemortal

Missed the first bit of PAX because of a migraine that hit like a train, but with any luck I plan to be footiling about the grounds tomorrow. ♥️

CW: suicide Please take this to heart in your life going forward: Telling someone what they want to hear, without considering the impact that will have on them, is destructive. Let this be the lesson we learn from AI.

It's time for Needlepoint Day 2: Stabby Boogaloo. Come on over for nerdy needlepoint, tarot, and as always, bookish rambles. Twitch.tv/FaireMortal

we were not meant to labor until death; we were meant to be dateable npc characters in this cozy game called life

Come join me for my 1 year stream anniversary! We're doing nerdy needlepoint, tarot, and reflecting on another year round the sun! Twitch.tv/FaireMortal

@rdansky.bsky.social's new book - The Video Game Writer's Guide to Surviving an Industry That Hates You - could not come at a better time. 💙 www.routledge.com/The-Video-Ga...

Question for you: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I don't know enough French to be useful, but I know just enough that my brain filled in the last bit before my eyes got there.

If you see this, post a knight!

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

Yahaha! Masquerade weekend at the faire. Caught my favorite show for over 25 years (BROON!), met up with old Monolith friends, and traded shinies with the local fae. A faire will always be my favored terrain. ♥️🌿

Oh my days. The sound design is pure dopamine. ♥️

The future of the games industry isn’t indies: it’s each other. Connect with your fellow workers. Build solidarity. Unionize.

This. This. This. Especially if it's about my goofy Veilguard fanfic nonsense. :p

Happy Nonbinary Day! As a kid, I would tilt my face up at the night sky, sitting on the roof of my childhood home, waiting for that unnamed, unknowable "other" I felt I was to be clear to me. I was wholly convinced I was alien or fae. And we weren't either, but a third, secret thing. Neat. ♥️

Ai could never replicate this at any level

Give flowers like you're running out of time. Litter your friends' mailboxes with dandelions, pave roads with gooseberries, press rose petals into lovers' palms. Too much is left unsaid. Words and flowers do no good on headstones. Life is short. Give flowers while you can.
