I think I've settled on this as my primary social media platform moving forward so I'll do a reintroduction.
I'm Blair Farrell, I've written about comic book video games since 2012 on comicbookvideogames.com. I've written 2 books on the subject matter and have interviewed people who made them.

In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.
In hearing of the passing of Rebecca Heineman, I thought it would be worth sharing this wonderful interview she did on @retronauts.bsky.social:

Bummer. I really enjoyed this show. I never watched it on FX, caught it on D+ up here. It had a weird model where 3 episodes would dump at a time. Why not stretch them out if it’s a short season? deadline.com/2025/11/engl...

This was a great video to wake up to this morning. The kind of thing you hope to see and hear when you know the dev team has put their hearts, souls, sweat, and tears into making it. And hope it brings more players in to try it. 🥰 youtu.be/Z8eF2PJA-Fs?...

It’s a comfort game for me. I’m whisked back to that guy happy to spend $20 to rent a DC from a gas station.
Started “Resident Evil: Code Veronica X” for the first time the other night. Tank controls, too much dialogue. Loading cut-scenes of doors opening and stairs passing underneath. Awkward aiming.
It’s like a warm blanket. ❤️
