Holy shit what. Patrick was a light, a truly good and heartfelt, caring person. I did press chats with him for Bungie back in the day, and he'd always write to me about what our stories made him think and feel and he was just sight an insightful and kind person. What a horrific tragedy.
sharing Patrick Dane's sister's post Instagram with her permission. if anyone would like to share memories and tributes (so many have said such kind things on here) please let me know in a DM and I can share Katie's email.

one of these days I'm going to get back to working on the little survival horror/sim/romance game I've had in mind for a long time, because these visual vibes will not quit drumming at the back of my brain

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

since last debunk went so well.
false. it was never planned. every model is 'naked' underneath clothing because this is how our appearance system works.
it's the same myth as with Alex and Takemura. the fact that you can hit on them doesn't mean there was a romance path there. like in real life!

I don't hardly draw much anymore but a few weeks ago I did a quick sketch based on the vibes of a 1:1 tabletop campaign I'm running for @laurin.bsky.social. She's acquired a bestie who is encompassed by this energy 😂
Laurin liked the sketch so much she quickly colored it ♥️
