I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

The only reason anyone can access any part of the games that jumpstarted my career anymore is an entire group of dedicated fans archived episodes of the mobile game by recording it, video by video, with months of grueling effort before the apps vanished and servers disconnected.

It is vital you buy your small child (or the small child you know) that cheap, shitty watercolor set and that cheap, shitty colored pencil set and that cheap, shitty sketchbook Don't even wait for a reason, just bring it home one night That stuff is transformative in ways you've totally forgotten

You want the award-winning writer of South of Midnight on your game, YOU DO

Hi all!! I'm opening kitchen sink comms- you dream it i'll make it. feel free to DM me to pitch an idea if you're not sure! The job landscape has frankly been frightful- would appreciate a boost!! #art #commission #commissionsopen #digitalart form here: forms.gle/ugt3aTsa3xD8...

yes... ha ha ha... YES

most video games can be boiled down to playing dolls and, as a rule, the more a video game lets you play dolls, the better it is

Apparently some podcatchers took a while to cache the episode but it's out and it's long and reviews are saying it's "good"

easily my favorite genre of bluesky gag is the celebrity/historical figure remix display name. gore vidal sassoon. shakira kurosawa. stop being so funny

"chomp jacket": the colloquial name for my mother's lacoste sweatshirt because when i was a baby i'd stick my finger on the alligator's mouth and she'd say "chomp"

007 first light is an eldritch object. i can't look at it too long or else i go feral and start writing gibbering outlines of thirteen new spy stories

shipping my OCs. well,

This is something I come back to a lot as a writing coach. Many writers I work with are looking to level up their game; but as many are searching for ways to do things like re-find joy in their work or shut up their inner editors long enough to get a draft down. (cont'd)

RE4R new game plus operates on bugs bunny logic. you can ventilate huge bioweapon monstrosities by chasing them around the room a few times and shooting them with a cork gun

I want to share because I think it's really cool Obsidian is looking for folks with ttrpg/DMing XP!! www.obsidian.net/careers/open...

I really love it when an artist I follow gets insanity levels of obsessed with [thing they like] and will not stop drawing it. It's so very charming. Go girl give us one billion drawings of that little freak in your head who I know nothing about. He's my blorbo in law now

it's true i had a baby opossum in my yard and i immediately pinged @catacalypto.bsky.social

do you hate your miserable life or do you need to trim your bangs

first hour of re4 remake: bells, balls, and bulls (affectionate)

i think a lot of people getting into arknights wonder at some point if the story-central magic rock disease is what is giving people cat ears, and the lore reveal that it’s the other way around will never not be the funniest thing to me

i dont like talking about good things in my life because that's bragging. and i don't like talking about bad things in my life because that's whining. i try to say neutral things like, "i am alive" but that is both bragging and whining

In these dark times, you must constantly be on your bullshit

putting square brackets (or whichever aren’t used for code in your workflow) around parts of the sentence where you don’t know exactly the right phrasing but want to get the idea down to [keep moving with the momentum] has helped me so many times. demonstration in above sentence

found this on tumblr, mostly meant for headcanon territory, but I feel like it relates

a 32,000-word novella about an island that believed they were the only people on earth until a woman who spoke a different language washed up, and also anti-intellectualism or something. it was over double the suggested thesis length and there's no way my profs read through to the silly shootout end

heyyy, i am looking for a character designer who specializes in character fashion. if interested please email your portfolio/link to website to contact (at) veritablejoystudios (dot) com 💗😁

(coworkers reacting with laughing emojis to my slack messages) This is great. I am going to get a good grade in being a coworker, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve,

letting myself get a little misty-eyed about human achievement as a treat

two of my coolest and funniest pals doing a podcast, what's not to like (also check out that cute cover art!!)

finally playing re2 remake and selling my mother on leon kennedy by turning the camera around and going "look at him. he's too pretty to die"

all right, i'll bite. i'm AK, i do narrative, and this is #WhatAGamedevLooksLike! when we have a few hours of effort to put into it

dressing for GDC like "which one of these identical black rolls in my suitcase is the dress i picked for today"

Me, right now. And it’s not even an action scene.

still making my way through this, but what i love about the avowed section is that every ND's contributions get love. my work gets a shoutout. all my narrative teammates' work gets a shoutout. it takes the time to sit with what the writing wanted to do, and that really means a lot!

vegas is a weird place. you're simultaneously over- and underdressed

man, only in "video game industry professionals" all by my lonesome? i've got to get weirder on this platform

Need to cheer myself up so here's the best Twitter post ever. It spawned one billion bad ripoffs but it's a beautiful magic trick. You don't just read it in his voice: he said it now. This quote is real.
