The few select people who have played the underrated Phantom 2040 (SNES/Genesis) can finally rest because I figured out the game's over 20 ending variations and how to trigger them.

I made a FAQ which will hopefully help millions of present and future gamers

Was hoping to go to sleep earlier, but having bungled my way through a stressful day, can’t even get sleep right today. 😔

Poking my head into UpScrolled and folks seem hella bent on making it just another TikTok or Insta for books. Only with more AI slop.

The only real problem with Darkest Dungeon 2 is the narrator will pop up in your head uninvited whenever you encounter the slightest issue in the real world. “The rancid discourse was far from salubrious, and rankled the jangled nerves of the traveler”.

My view: when you look at those leading the antivaccine movement or seeking to convince Americans to engage in dangerous health behaviors: 25% for political points with Project 2025; 25% monetizing the internet wellness influencer industry; 50% unaccomplished ne’er do wells desperate for relevance

Resuming recording for this project later this week. Normally I'd give hints at what might be coming up, but nothing specific here except the intention is for it to be uniformly HEAVY.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

It's been just over a year since leaving Dark Horse and I've grown a lot as a freelance editor. I'm really eager to get back to editing more comics and graphic novels this year, especially for authors in the indie space.

If you are crowdfunding or self-publishing please reach out for a chat!
Hey all, I'm officially turning my focus towards freelance editing, writing, and creative consulting.

If you need help with your project be it comic, webcomic, prose, TTRPG, or even videogame -- I have the tools needed to help you make it better.

Let's make some awesome stuff together!
Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.

I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

There was no actual financial upside to navigating ephemeral posting rules and having right-wing weirdos start to spill into my space and threaten me. Consider this your sign

I made this from guitar and bass samples to try and emulate my own preference for those sounds. Its a minimalistic take, think Terry C Riley rather than some pop effort.

Interesting research in HBR today about how the productivity boost you can get from AI tools can lead to burnout or general metal exhaustion, something I've noticed in my own work simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/9/a...

I will give a $15/hr rate discount on NSFW comms to anyone who can prove they cancelled Nitro over this.

A good majority of the artist you like and follow use Discord to talk to commissioners, for many like myself, this is a dig into their livelihoods and makes being an artist that much harder.

Cancel your Nitro if you have it, corporations listen when their wallets take the hit.
