Alright, well, video games.

With 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico on the way, I can see a sharp downtick in the number of disc-based games that get released physically in the US, as much of that production infrastructure is in Mexico.

If they do get made, I expect higher prices both phys & dig.

I think video games, especially those with sophisticated narrative structure, could use a lot better grounding in player psychology. Basically right now we make up affinity groups or, much worse, rely on demographics, and then try to broadly design to what we think they like. Imo we can do better.

Standing atop a dark hill at night as the wind howls is really my kind of thing, not gonna lie. Storms make my veins sing.

These days the existence of junior narrative jobs in video games are few and far between. So how do you get in? Are you just supposed to appear out of nowhere as as a fully formed narrative designer like Athena sprang from the head of Zeus? Fear not! There are things you can do.
