It's true! I'm hiring another senior writer for my team. Position is FT, remote. Come work with me and some truly brilliant, creative folks to create Cyberpunk 2 💥🦾 www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/2205...

Just watched the OG Street Fighter for the first time: 1. Blanka deserved better--Guile is garbage!!!! 2. ❤️❤️RAUL. JULIA.❤️❤️

I'll be the first to admit it if I'm wrong but trailer for Nolan's Odyssey feels... Empty? He's a tactical and thorough filmmaker but, when it comes to gods and monsters,I want a little more theatricality! (Or at least some divine weirdness...)

Finished Inscryption--what a wild time!

Amazing advice & great thread. Writing for IP means not always getting to write your favourites. That's GOOD. It makes you a stronger writer. Finding a way to fall in love--or, at least find the fun--with a new character or subject is VITAL. If you don't care, the audience can tell.

Can I recommend: Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising Diana Wynne Jones' Howl's Moving Castle (also, everything) Diane Duane's So You Want to Be a Wizard Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic (also, everything) Ursula le Guin's The Wizard of Earthsea (also, everything)

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Reminder to check your public library to borrow stuff for free like video games, books/ebooks, movies (including digital/streaming), and possibly even free museum passes and other goodies

Just finished Consume Me, a game about diet culture and growing up that spoke to my teenage soul AND my current, frazzled adult 🍽️

Wingspan introduced me to the Horned Lark, AKA bird Wolverine, and now you have it too

Not the point of this clip at all but RYAN COOGLER BAKES

Cute, funny, challenging! I was glued to my Steam Deck this weekend with Dogpile.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Everyone jokes about getting fit to fight fascists but also GENUINELY working out for mental health is key to keeping our heads above water and pushing back right now

A cozy Telly for your TL.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

How dare

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

I spent the last few days watching The Pitt and I will never ever ever feel stressed out about my silly video game job ever again

THIS IS JOYFUL, WOW

Knives Out

"instead of typing it out" .......they'll what? Beam it into the entry field via telepathic link? FFS.

One upside of AI is that human art feels more valuable, whimsical, and transcendent than ever before. I'm in awe watching the craft on display in old movies; I'm ultra-charmed by hand-drawn doodles. Everything human feels more precious and personal, and every artist is a treasure.

Uninstall Even if you "don't use the skin" or "will kill anyone using the skin on sight", playing the game is allowing kickback to JK Rowling in one way or another Make this licensing deal wholly not worth it I know it sucks to give up a game you like to play but if enough ppl do it,

Getting third hand anxiety at the thought of placeholder text that is not immediately clearly placeholder and also is not a direction for the intention for the final text.

Bears repeating

I want to say something encouraging or at least not despairing about the layoffs at Eidos during the holidays but, lord, we are in a SEA of it. If there's anyone who's looking, we've got some open roles for DDV and our forthcoming Dungeons and Dragons project! www.gameloft.com/jobs?locatio...

Me: wow, seems like Dickens was a little manic when he wrote A Christmas Carol Wikipedia: he needed money and he wrote it in six weeks and he sorted out his story ideas by walking marathons around London also people mentioned he would laugh and cry as he wrote Me: ah

Our new DLC launches TODAY! It's got horses! It's got magic! It's got BEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it took me this long to discover Little Shop of Horrors. The puppetry of Audrey II looks so good it felt like I was losing my mind, and the Menken/Ashman music duo?! PHEEEEEEEEEW, I'm obsessed.

Remember when Spider-Man 2 for PS5 came out and people realized the NPCs on the street all had dialogue with each other that you could eavesdrop on and then players in. A. SPIDER-MAN. Game. Took time out of swinging above the city just to follow people around on the street and listen to them? 🤔

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

Nothing pulls me back into listening to musicals like a talented performer absolutely belting their guts out. That kind of talent gets me every time, right in the goosebumps department.

Something I learned from a playwriting class: write the review before you start working on it. Create the great review you want your project to get (imagine it’s by someone who Gets It) once it’s launched, and you’ll quickly tease out what the themes are, what’s important to you, and what isn’t.

Me, already tired🙂‍↕️: maybe I'm done with distance running beyond 5-10K Me, looking at races🤡: the 15K is the SAME PRICE?????????????? 👀

“they’re shoving gay stuff into the story for no reason! checking boxes!!!!” my brother in lilith, every queer writer you know can name off the top of their head a movie, book, game, or tv show where the plot + character arcs would’ve made WAY more sense if they’d just let them be gay
