Some artwork I did for Duskmourn, Magic the Gathering’s love letter to 80s horror, probably my favorite project I’ve ever worked on.
Hopefully someday we’ll get Duskmourn 2.

i like this story and this screenshot on their own, but also i've seen this sort of thing enough times that i want to codify an internet-centric version of that famous fred rogers advice:
"look for the screennames"
"look for the screennames"
Last movie I saw at Cinerama Dome before it closed was Uncut Gems with a Q&A. Some complete normie gets up and asks Sandler, “Why don’t you do more of these serious roles?” Sandler replies: “Nobody asks me.”

It's so damn funny knowing that, despite literally everything, Adam Sandler is one of the greatest living actors we have. He just has these performances in there and they burst out of the ground every 15 years like cicadas.

just got back from this with the bear - another park chan-wook BANGER.
surprised to learn that this was an adaptation, but park and his cowriters definitely leave their imprint.
the whole thing is solid, but there's one scene in particular that floored me. i was legit HOWLING in the theater.

The new preface to this great and depressing scholarly book gets into the explosion of sports betting and “prediction markets” since 2012’s 1st edition, plus well-meaning games-for-change types trying to harness dark patterns for good. Everyone within 30 feet of gamedev should read it.

been thinking about this thing more and more - i'm both really excited to start working on it again, and really dreading looking over my codebase after stepping away for a year #gamedev
wrote the very first functions of my new visual novel!
but, wait a sec - this looks like deckbuilder stuff!! what's it doing in a visual novel??? 🤔🤔🤔
(not as visually pretty as other #gamedev stuff on here, but still counts!)

i remember reading a trans lesbian explaining how she couldn't separate the experiences of wanting women and wanting to be a woman.
and there's some flavor of that, that resonates with me even as just a cis dude. can't tease apart my attraction to men, and wanting to be the men i'm attacted to.

man, i missed winter. the air bites, the nighttime pavement is spiked with bright snow, it's dark all the time and all the lights come from people having fun.
winter in the city buzzes and tingles. even the boring days are sharper, more reflective. it's carbonated.

that's BANANAS.

My favourite thing I heard of like this is a debugging feature in Alien Isolation where instead of hissing the Alien states aloud what it's thinking about.
"I heard you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I have found you."
