Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire is the snowglobe that will roll out of my hands at the moment of my death.

5/ The pre-order rabbit outfit is both a charming callback to SH3 and also thematically appropriate to this game (where you are being hunted by a predator).

4/ The journal has GORGEOUS illustrations that update as things get... different, and a dossier that updates as you learn more about your friends and family.

1/ Things I really love about Silent Hill f, a thread. No spoilers.

A LOT of early game conversations only make sense on subsequent playthroughs once you get what's going on. The confidence to do that with players is inspiring.

Describe your favorite movie in the most misleading way possible:

Gentlemen yearn for each other away from the prying eyes of civilization.

Cursed reactivity 💀❤️ I could write about these two morbid goofballs forever.

One of my favorite Giatta lines, and I’m forever grateful that the timing and performance lined up so nicely ☺️

Something must be wrong with my eyesight, because I only see one choice whenever I meet Giatta.

Fun fact, I wrote the descriptions of almost all of the generic weapons and armor in Avowed. So it was a challenge to describe each thing four different ways, but I injected some humor and lore whenever possible. And I learned a lot about old timey firearms and chain mail.

🐐 I’m doing my part 🐐

Hey, Avowed is out ☺️ Go have fun on this fine Tuesday morning. As always, say hi to Giatta for me.

Finished reading Thunder City, a standalone prequel to the Mortal Engines books. Sad robots, found family, swashbuckling adventure, heartwrenching you-can-never-go-home-again feels - great read, highly recommended ❤️

Star Wars: Outlaws has a well-deserved spot at my #1 for this year in gaming ❤️

Four games I've worked on 🔥✍️

Should there be any interest in empires that overextend their resources, turn their leaders against each other, and unravel from within, my first game just turned eight years old 🗡️🔥
