Rest in peace to Peter David, who I followed from Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man to Hulk to X Factor to But I Digress... Was just reading his autobiography, which reminded me how much I love his voice.

How it's going

And so I turn all my tears into a tsunami sea
Tumultuous down to the bottom where I know
How deep it goes

Happy to be back at #LudoNarraCon, which starts right now!

Our talk "Very Different Tales" is up first - come watch Jesse Schell, Deborah Hendersen & I talk about different ways that game stories work across games/genres/mediums.

Thx @fellowtraveller.games for hosting!

Amidst everything happening everywhere, we did make it to one of the last showings at the old @grandillusioncinema.org venue for a screening of Rebecca. Sad to see that spot go, but looking forward to their new location...

20 years ago in The Suffering I included this graffiti in one of the prison cells. (It says "Peltier is still here" - forgive the low pixel count)

Somehow amidst everything going on, I missed that Biden finally commuted Leonard Peltier's sentence. At last this video game graffiti is out of date.

Organizing some books on my shelf and still love this classic.

@slutsky.bsky.social per our chat did you end up grabbing this over the holiday?

Wrapping up the year, I'm mailing out some @limitedrungames.com Switch & PS4 editions to the folks that worked on The Church in the Darkness. Still so thankful to all the folks who contributed to this weird game.

Everyone talking about Wicked... so I finally saw The Dark and the Wicked. I only recently saw Bertino's earlier The Strangers for the first time and they are basically the same plot just with the devil instead of homicidal killers. In terms of terror, in this showdown the devil wins.

At last made it back to @grandillusioncinema.org one of the few movie theaters in Seattle that hasn't changed in 20 years... But they are moving in February. Looking forward to going to the new spot!
