Feel free to reskeet!

I’m in the market for my next game narrative role!

You’d get:

✅ Award-winning writing and narrative design
✅ Worldbuilding
✅ Character development

I’d get:

✅ Money
✅ A collaborative team of weirdos enthusiastic about narrative
✅ A challenging, player-centric project

Iykyk, but the one thing I've learned about game dev very early on is that if there's a big controversial writing decision, the writing team will have flagged it, they were ignored, and they will be the ones blamed regardless
Call me old-fashioned, but I think it’s incredibly crass to demand certain (controversial) story beats from your writing team, fire that writing team, then throw that writing team under the bus for decisions *they didn’t make* while marketing your new thing.
Very crass! Very ick!

Being a bootlicking ICE Agent from any Southern state with 32 seconda of training and coming to the Midwest where we tank negative degree temps with a smile must be insane. The US equivalent of don’t invade Russia in winter

Minnesotans were throwing water ballons at ICE.

I hope any friends at Ubisoft are doing alright today. Game cancellations - and the uncertainty that follows - sucks.

ALSO, time’s is tough and money is tight for so many of us right now and you don’t need my permission but: if you need to go after the (potentially) shitty gig to pay the bills, you’ve got nothing but my love a d respect.
Hey! Game writers and narrative designers! I’m going to *gently* suggest not applying to this role from this wannabe Disco Elysium successor.

Feel free to hit me up in the DMs but it seems like bad vibes working under a bad dude.

HUGE NEWS for trans people: We have the latest minibus, including the bill to fund the Department of Health and Human Services and it looks like there are no restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender people.

Oops, just realize the dissonance and horrors of this world are fucking with my brain. Time for an internet break and food I prepared with my own mitts.

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

Same. I’m “Seal or no deal.”
I just blocked a complete fucking stranger for saying they hate "Kiss by a Rose"

Not even to me, I just saw them say it and blocked em

This is a pro! Seal! Account!

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

EVA Rebuilds are cool because it’s like “aye dummy, what if you fucked it all up major and everyone would leave you for dead or hates you now, but also you are probably not beyond growth, love, and a chance to change? don’t kill yourself, probably”
