Game Designer traversing the scorched wreckage of a once thriving industry.

Currently making something cool that I don't want to talk about and will probably never come out.
I'm fucking sorry, but what? Have we just hit the point where AI is so far up everything's ass that google slides doesn't even know that crouch is a word anymore?

(p.s. if this isn't AI's fault, I don't care, I'm still blaming it for the general enshittification of every piece of software I use)

First time I've launched a Riot Game in 2025. It genuinely feels really weird enjoying a game from the company that blew up my life about a year ago, but what can I say, I still enjoy some 2XKO.

I can't believe they didn't use "it's Morbin' time" for flavor text. Rare miss by the wizards flavor text writers.

The intro to this episode that's just about how ludicrously expensive minifridges are now lives rent free in my mind

Riku’s pretty cool, I think if Sublime Epiphany is your north star, he’s a good spot to start.

If you wanna stay mono blue, Baral and Eluge are both good spell enabler commanders.

I also think searching edhrec off a card you like for commander ideas is always a good starting point

Remy is very intrigued by flying Esquie

Gonna be hard to top this for my GotY pick, truly exceptional.

I have some small qualms with the very end game construction, but it's easy to overlook those with how fucking good everything else in Blue Prince is.

The tournament organizing nerd in me is FURIOUS at alphabetical seeding, like look at how comically easy Cars’ path to the quarter finals was compared to Shrek

(and notably I’d pick every other movie in that group over Shrek)

I have made my definitive, final tier list for Rivals of Aether II. I will not be taking any questions at this time

I found this video on my switch tonight and got mad all over again about how TotK didn’t scale jump attack damage with distance. God, just imagine…

Decided that if it’s time to finally kill Ganon, I’m gonna look fierce doing it

It's possible it's old and Riot only updated it recently, but it's this weird layout with like, 2 separate UI frames, it's very gross and new to me and I don't think I like a single thing about it after using it all week.

I supposed that's one way to balance Tavern Brawler...

god, right? That first version on land is just so weird and offputting, it really throws you off balance when you're expecting godzilla and you see this weird little guy

Nice try Baldur's Gate
