We're making Mandrake, a rural life sim set in a beguiling new world inspired by British history and folklore.
Now we're not in the Fallen London universe (Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies), we had the opportunity to add sunshine! And trees! 😮 🧵

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Huh, turns out it wasn’t DEI, but execs yet again thoughtlessly chasing trends for big payouts (rather than just letting their devs do what they do best), and nearly destroying the project.
Whoda thunk???

NEW: What went wrong with Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Why was the writing so tonally inconsistent? Why did it feel so shallow? Why were there so few choices?
Really, after ten years of turbulence, it was a miracle that anything came out at all. This is the story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Just backed this, I love Colin's work. I have a framed Oxventure in the Dark print above my desk and it rules.

Worlds Beyond Number is hands down the BEST narrative adventure I've ever heard.
Even if you aren't normally a fan of DnD, I can't recommend it enough - the story is the main focus and is told by some of the most talented storytellers out there.

Last week, episode 47 of The Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One, titled “The Battle of Twelve Brooks Part 1”, premiered on @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social, and after months of waiting, this moment, rendered here in stunning visual by the incredible @kortizart.bsky.social —

Exciting headlines to wake up to! I didn’t remember saying that…
It turns out the “bullying” in question was Ed Byrne and co making jokes about me on the show. So, yeah, I think we’re all cool with that.

Hey remember that time a bunch of losers got mad at a lady who made a video game about depression and it led to several thousand federal employees losing their jobs

One of the things I really love about Avowed is that it never feels like it's wasting your time. It knows exactly what it wants to do — no more, no less. Reviews docked it for not offering innovation or sprawling systems, but that focus is what makes it great

I've been playing a bunch more Avowed (after a break while traveling last week) and hey it still fucking rules!!! It's a joy to smash enemies and unravel side quests and explore every nook and cranny for sparkly treasure chests and fun little parkour challenges. Plus you can summon a bear
