With Trump's government appropriating Halo's imagery and Microsoft seemingly too cowardly or complicit to act upon it, it's bizarre they didn't choose the most befitting character!

I may simply be out of the loop, but having a hard time thinking of a case where an artist's album so obviously has a drop off point. The pre-Weezer and post-Weezer streams on Spotify are basically two different albums and I am so curious to see how those numbers evolve.

I had a lot of thoughts at this moment but wanted to take some time to decide how to voice them:

I'm so tired of CEOs speaking for whole studios of developers. It is never worth it, and almost always leads to moments like this. Unchecked hubris, out of touch communication style.

I almost feel bad for this Dooku. First shot he audibly groans, second blast connects to his dome, and he stands still as the final brings him to his knees.

Battlefront II with the HUD off is one of the most beautiful and humorous games I've played in recent times.

Unemployment has made it so hard to mentally motivate myself to socialize, so I'm going to try and both use this space more and be my authentic self.

I have NO clue what I'll end up posting long term, but in the meantime, here's a cavern I visited recently!

It's been a long time since an action-adventure game clicked for me like South of Midnight has. There's something beautiful about the mix between a modern southern gothic story wrapped in folklore & gameplay that is more streamlined.

It's not going to be for everyone (dark), but it nails it for me!

I’m so proud of what we made. Thank you to everyone I knew at HiRez & the opportunity to work on games I love.

I’m looking forward to new opportunities to bring my skills as a game designer or CM to a new project and bring even more joy to players.

Out of all the things #SpotifyWrapped could tell me, this was by far the least surprising.

I am waiting to hear from Drake's lawyers any day now.

I want to start sharing more scraps and older narrative/design work I've done on Bluesky, so here's a peek at what went into planning Grovos' personality and story.

His name was chosen by his mother, who viewed Grover as a protective spirit for the remainder of Dragonkind.

Hello! I'm Kryptek (you can call me V!), and I work in the games industry. 🦋

Currently, I'm a game designer and community manager on Paladins, as well as occasional game jams and narrative work with folks.

If you follow me, you'll mainly see a lot of video, card, and tabletop game discourse!
