I'm looking for a Senior Narrative Designer to join my team! Quest folks, mission folks, apply within! www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/2206...

Bro loves seeds and suet almost as much as I do.

Wheatus initially intended to release follow-ups to "Teenage Dirtbag" to chronicle the life and condition of the American Dirtbag over the course of their lifetime. A real shame the MacArthur Fellowship fell through.

Sometimes you read a 80s cyberpunk novel and you just whisper "hell, yeah" at the bottom of each page.

Zoe wondered if the plant bed she bought was too modern. It's avant-garden

Some day I have to stop being depressed, or they need to invent self-folding laundry.

Incredible performances. Loved it.

Finished one, starting the other. Guessing my way through my project's Appendix N.

Will 2026 be the year I run a tabletop campaign that isn't just a vehicle for goofy bits?

Movie day: -Ratcatcher (my heart hurts) -The Warriors (am I too old to join a gang??) -Licorice Pizza (In progress) -One Battle After Another (on deck) Watching movies in one sitting is a luxury I rarely find time for. Time to make hay!

My Inner Monologue Wrapped, 2025:

This year was full of great games. At the 11th hour I've discovered Dispatch is my personal GOAT (2025). Such a blast.

Having folks over tomorrow to play Arkham Horror (2E, ow my nostalgia!). It is only fitting that my attempt at making macarons resulted in formless monstrosities.

Regarding the amount of nickels I would have for each post a game writer made re: hating on stub dialogue: (Did something happen???)

I beat Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Super fun but as an old man my hands are now withered, fingerless stumps.

Hath man's kiwi-ch exceeded his kiw-rasp?

Normally I wait until I finish reading to post a bit about the book I'm reading but this moment was too fucking good. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Not exactly an undiscovered gem but amazing to read.

I am not a proud man by nature but sometimes I'm just really satisfied with a dumb joke I made weeks ago and I take time to revisit it.

Sons: "Dad, what can we do on this 2-hour car ride?" Me: "TRY TO SURVIVE"

Been derelict in my reading reports. -The Devils, Joe Abercrombie. I liked it well enough by the end, but I found the dialogue too quippy for my taste. -Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckie. Man, it took me a while to get going but once I did I could not stop. -When Gravity Fails, George Effinger. Ehh.

Incredible

Mfw I beat Chronos for the first time youtu.be/XM6Fch0VKrg?...

Me: I have seen wild turkeys every year for the majority of my life. Also me: OH FUCK, TURKEYS AT 9 O'CLOCK

wonderful art as always. Meln is a character I wish I could redo. On paper, he was supposed to be among the most powerful Telvanni driven to senile coot-ness by the forces he sought to control. In game, man he loves that ghost sight 😁

Genetic proof that I could have a rocking 'stache if I had a fraction of my dad's swagger

I love my birds but pretty stoked at the bee action on my goldenrods.

I tried shouting "be happier" at myself in the bathroom mirror for 15 minutes straight this morning. Hope it works!

How do you sustain an hour-long design/story debate where you simultaneously: 1) don't think you're wrong 2) don't feel like a huge asshole for not conceding Because I'll tell ya gang, I had 2 of these today and I am exhausted

Finally ate a (previously frozen) durian. My family hates me and my wife says the house will never return to its original smell.

Finally escaped library hold purgatory and got to finish this guy. A vampire story set in 1978 NYC, and I think it's a total gem.

Honestly am wondering if I will finish silksong. This is a disappointing state to be in.

Andzrej is awesome -one of those people that seem to teach you something in every conversation

After a few years GMing pretty much anything BUT Dungeons and Dragons, I ran a oneshot (2024 rules). And it was actually a blast. Nowwww I have to resist the urge to buy a bunch of new books...

I have two work paradigms: "I have nothing to do." "I have more deliverables due this week than can fit in five lifetimes."

If all the Minutemen were this handsome, no wonder we won the war

I introduced myself at CDPR as a lovable goon and I wondered why I got looks. FML

Spidey proving it's easier than ever to get into boardgames in 2025

Been a bit since I posted a finished book, but in my defense the page count was a killer. Lot of my friends were talking about the Stormlight Archive series so I checked it out. And, well... it wasn't for me. I can say about The Way of Kings is the world-building/dollar ratio is high.

Home office window bird feeder: meet Robert Downy Woodpecker Jr.

Sarah is amazing!

A guy on my team dug two graves and embarked on a journey of revenge but didn’t tell anybody, so when the job of dealing with the bodies fell to me I also dug two graves. What a waste. Talk to your producer.

Ticks suck.

On the one hand, it's great to see folks in the office. On the other hand, the anus::toilet ratio in the office is brutal.

The final piece of my home office puzzle has been placed

King of Dragon Pass is great. Name 25 other games with a "Marsh Duck" tribe.

Another book done, and Grady Hendrix continues to prove he writes whatever the fuck it is I want to read.

lotta people pointing out how I’m wrong and stupid, but you have to admit that if the facts were different then I’d be right

Yes, I write books. But only as slack messages that could easily have been 1-2 sentences.

CDPR is hiring for a bunch of game jobs, y'all. No writing roles on my team at this moment, but lots of other positions. It's a really good place to land www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs
