Giving my next D&D group a puzzle but it’s just a clump of my tangled necklaces

Hi! I’m Rowan, Senior Writer @ Riot Games! In the past I’ve worked at Sprocket, Telltale, Obsidian, and Blizzard. I’m an advocate for EDI in games and a big ol’ nerd. Games - and devs - rock. I love dessert, crafting, coffee, cats, and you. 🖤

Today marks the end of my first week back at Riot Games as a Senior Writer! Next week begins the real work!

A-doyyyy

I rolled down my window to tell a pretty girl “I love your fit!” and she smiled and did a little twirl for me and that’s all I need out of the day. Open and shut case. Call it a day.

I don’t tend to idolize celebrities, but I do make constant comparisons to how I always wanted to be Lydia Dietz but ended up Delia. I’ll miss Cat. 🖤

This last week has felt totally unreal so if anyone has any grounding techniques or ways to prove reality I’m all ears

Don’t let up, and don’t get distracted. I hope 2026 is kinder to you.

Not that I had intentions to do so, but I’m feeding right into the rumors of being a cryptid. Showing up briefly late at night to leave a comment or two before disappearing into the bayou. Befriending alligators and possums. Causing local dogs to bay into the dark.

I talked to my therapist about Arc Raiders today if you were curious how that’s going

“I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread” yeah okay well I’m feeling so thin I’m making that gif of Mickey cutting a transparent slice of bread look like a whole meal

“Not to be here, Not to be anywhere, And soon; nothing more terrible, nothing more true.”

Absolutely worth having for free, incredible game

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.

I am ???% into a project that requires me to wade through AI slop to make it readable, and let me say with absolute certainty: I will *never* take on this kind of work again. It is exhausting and frustrating and so, so demeaning.

“Wanted: a willing participant to be butchered and devoured. Serious replies only.” My first ever (!) Twine game, Consume, it out now! You can play it for free here: romonster.itch.io/consume I hope you don’t leave hungry. 🖤

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Now it’s just one week! Consume will come out on October 30th, and you can be equal parts disgusted, intrigued, and terrified.

*through teeth* If I have to think about the shareholders ONE MORE TIME-

I thought AI was supposed to make games faster than usual dev time. It’s been at least a year. Where they at? Where are the critically acclaimed, fully AI-powered games? Show them to me. Bring them forth. Let us see.

Two weeks ‘til Consume, my twine horror short, comes out. In it, you play a monster who puts out an ad looking for someone who consents to being eaten. Stay tuned.

Aspirational.

Hello, dear friends. In a month’s time, I’ll be releasing my very first twine game, Consume. It’s gory, it’s horny, and it’s fraught - just the way you like it.

i like how you can see the person that made this was full of spite but the message is genuine and pure so instead of the guy looking like an annoying loser he just ended up looking like a chill unc giving good advises

Nothing shuts down my budding attraction to someone quite like them telling me they love Tarantino or Bukowski.

I’m still looking for work, despite *gestures broadly* so if you have need of a writer or narrative designer or weird druid who lives in the back part of your property’s acreage, please lmk!

What if the magic of older games was just the disorganized nature of game studios of the past and a more pliable, less oversaturated market? 😭

Oh yeah?? Well, can genAI do THIS??? *stands up too fast after being seated/writing at my desk for a while and immediately feels dizzy and my vision goes dark for a few seconds*

This is where I post from.

Blasting “Make Your Own Kind of Music” as the last of my hand slips below the churning ocean waves

And for my next trick: finding gainful employment before my SSRIs run out!

Just remembered I had this in my folder

it’s getting really fucking hard to be silly and whimsical in these conditions

We’re live! C’mon by and say hi! 🏳️‍🌈

Tomorrow! Please do drop by, I’ll be moderating at the very least (and interacting with chat IF I MUST) but it’s for a good cause and we’re gonna make sure he looks 💅 twitch.tv/danny_vito

Writing a spec script called Whatever Happened to Roger Rabbit. Lucy DeVito plays an assistant to a famous TV exec looking to reignite a franchise, but nobody knows who owns Roger’s contract.

If I were a wizard, my quest for power would be fulfilled by finding a way to keep ice from melting and making drinks taste watery.

Whatever popular brand of sparkling water people were into for a while - La Croix? - can we now safely admit those things taste like nothing? Or is there some kind of ego wrapped up in the sparkling water brands?
