because live games don't really do credits, my first industry credit in 12 years is for Riftbound lol forever living under the shadow of The Cooler Brian K Card Gamer though

anytime i see game rankings i think about that tweet where someone posted a numbered list of the star wars movies in chronological order and people went apeshit in the replies (www.pcgamer.com/games/the-to...)

LoR players tryna get me in trouble with the wife smh

🫶🎉

happy pythagorean triple day! (9/16/25) "every triangle is a love triangle when you love triangles" -pythagoras

while they are cursed, we do want them in the game eventually, so question for my player followers: do you feel its more important that the conditional stays the same difficulty/play pattern, or that the output is an instant win? some options below

each time we pick out future champs for path, we occasionally succumb to considering the "cursed" champs: ryze, fiora, katarina they have alt win cons or go trivially infinite with relics so they'll take much more effort than other champions, but that's also what makes them so alluring

signal boosting from the official LoR twitter: "Hey folks! Glory Store prices are currently incorrect. Please hold off on spending in the Glory Store until we can send through a fix. We will notify y’all once this comes through!"

i should put Freestyle Solo and Aid a Spirit in the adventure pools, pretty happy with how they turned out

added a comment about how the Glory Store tuning error happened, for those curious www.reddit.com/r/LegendsOfR...

old LoR PvP pros reading this

signal boosting some info i shared in the LoR discord: - it's not possible to collect more of one rune than there are champs of that region - rune explainer article is coming soon - glory store isn't the only/main source of runic vessels this event - there are 15 glory tiers, so 900 max glory/month

we saw a very cute borzoi at the coffee shop today and my wife and i said "beautiful dog" at the same time, except she was saying it to the owner and i was 100% saying it directly to the dog

Hey all! Today preorders for Riftbound product go up on our website, and I wanted to make sure folks had the Proving Grounds decklists before you decided to order (if that mattered to you). We'll get these up on our How to Play article soon!

said this on a few platforms but: feel free to play your monthlies! there's zero benefit to waiting for the patch

back on my bullshit

seen a few people asking what happens to the Emporium/Stardust when Glory Store launches, and the answer is: nothing! Glory Store is an entirely separate feature and won't replace any other store

mtg is the golf of the game industry

i still think about this once a week

Mel's overwhelm on burst spells has been fixed!

from @lopeeee.bsky.social: Hey y’all! Popping in to announce we’ve fixed the bug where Mel’s Overwhelm was not applying to Burst Spells. Thank you all for your patience as we got this resolved as quickly as we could! We hope y’all are enjoying the patch so far. 🤩🥳🫶

modern gamers know a ton more about game dev processes than before, but the part where everything feels god awful until the literal last month before ship is basically a religious experience. it feels bonkers to explain that this is how it always is, but it's true: "have faith in the process"

new justice remixes and one is by the dare? blessed wednesday open.spotify.com/track/4mRx3g...

this is the sign of a store near me. below this they list their wares: cigarettes, beer, wine, and then specifically teriyaki. then there's like five more giant signs outside that just say "teriyaki". i am both very curious and slightly afraid

i live for the feel stupid zone, for the rare moments in which you are suddenly not stupid are perhaps the best highs in gaming

really makes you think

my next-door neighbor in LA was Harry Lennix. he was basically never home but we chatted a few times as neighbors and he was legitimately interested in the craft of video games (as was I in film production). super nice guy, effortlessly charismatic too

picked up a cup while walking in a way that made me suddenly remember Peanut Panic. kid me thought this was peak games

big rec for @animesickos.bsky.social ranks game mechanics, they're objectively correct. why aren't we lighting more meters on fire

Da boyz. ❤️

my game design mentee finally broke into the industry with a design internship at Infinity Ward! he's put so much work into this, i'm legit so proud 🥹

whoa 2XKO lookin hype

i've barely touched final fantasy (only played 7 Remake and a lil XIV) but i can't with these names man. Cloud, Sephiroth, Tifa, sure, but Zell Dincht? Emet-Selch? G'raha Tia? if you say these out loud i will say gesundheit

from eric's twit: "Hi all, we had an error in today's release that delayed the Celebration Bundles for Akshan and Jhin. Those are now live. For players who got the 4* or 5* bundles before we fixed this, we'll be granting y'all 990 coins Friday so you can get the 2* Bundle without spending more."

very excited for yall to try The Grand Heist adventure, i poured a lot of heart into it! it tries a lot of new things, which means not all of it is going to land perfectly, but it should certainly feel novel and shout out to the narrative team for bearing with me and really bringing it to life!

alright i'm coming clean: i used the 1 mana version so i could siphon the extra mana you're all spending into my bank account

bluesky exclusive: his bonus stars :)

postin the akshan reveal here! i designed the kit, happy to answer questions

clair obscur is so french it only takes the mon ami code

Choose Your Own Adventure book but every choice ends with "turn to page 10" and page 10 says you died

my wife was idly browsing rentals while we played Blue Prince and suddenly loudly gasped

very funny that our first experience in seattle was a friendly bartender recommending stuff in the neighborhood we're staying in (ballard) suddenly interrupted by a bar fight breaking out

if everyone could just stop making games for a year, and i took a full year off work, i could FINALLY maybe catch up on like 30% of the games i've missed out on

super interested to see how development of Blue Prince will continue. adding RNG to a puzzle game is great for the thematic and early/midgame discovery and intrigue, but from critiques i'm seeing, it becomes a common source of frustration once you're not pulling on several threads simultaneously

a tale in 5 words

Hello, I'm not sure how long time ago posted something for #PortfolioDay , a bit nervous ahaha. I specialize in character concept art, key art, illustrations. I also have experience as an art director and I just love working in games (I love learning everything from UI to textures in a game)

four horseman of game genre names: - the acronym of increasingly irrelevant words (4X, RPG, FPS) - the "other game(s) you like" junior (roguelike, metroidvania) - the pithy opinion reclaimed (ameritrash, walking sim) - the technically not false even if generically meaningless (adventure, platformer)
