Hello, Bluesky! I'm probably best known for my work @ Naughty Dog, where I spent 21+ years helping make Uncharted, TLOU2, & Jak. Prior to that, I worked in feature/tv animation, including a certain RHCP video. Currently doing game narrative consulting, baking, walking my dog, & not sleeping enough
Just popped in here to say the Bohemian Rhapsody moment in @meredithgran.com's Perfect Tides: Station to Station is extremely clever & made me smile a lot. While I'm here, I'll also mention the writing in this game is exceptional & outshines many bigger, more expensive titles. Support indie devs!
Perfect Tides: Station to Station on Steam
A point n' click sequel to Perfect Tides about the momentum and whiplash of young adulthood. Explore the big city through 18-year-old Mara's eyes. Collect items, nurture ideas, and experience complex ...

Okay wow. We're SO CLOSE to 100 reviews. When we get 100, the algorithm sits up and PROPERLY takes notice of us, which will make a *world* of difference.

The strongest way right now to support Size Five is to grab a copy and drop a review asap. Your help means everything to me, thank you ❤️
As we head into the weekend, a quick reminder that Earth Must Die requires your PURCHASE and REVIEW please, so that we stay totally relevant.

Every copy sold at this critical juncture helps us out more than, like three copies sold next week. So please do.

the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

“Minnesotans’ relentlessness offers a blueprint for how to react when ICE inevitably arrives to stir up trouble where there was none; how to look violence dead in the eye and say not in my town; how to provide aid laterally when you know those at the top won’t be passing any down.”

The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

You can't reform or retrain this shit, @schumer.senate.gov

Kudos to everyone at @minnmax.com for putting this video out; watch the whole thing at the link.
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

People who think we should wait until we win everything think we should win forever. Celebrate interim victories, partial victories, imperfect victories, small victories, because celebrating strengthens the resolve to keep on, reminds us of our power, and also is fun.

We've been celebrating partial victories for 14 months, but this is the first time the entire regime focused its power on one goal but was repelled by a powerful nonviolent force of organized people. I get shit is still bad, but damn how can someone not be inspired by this.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101
