I worked audio design, composition and game design on this! Go give it a try if you enjoy stealth or platformer games, especially if you like speedrunning!

It's free also, so there's really no excuse... 👿💞

Marathon is looking like everything I've been wanting from a pvp game.

I'm a big fan of the tension the extraction genre provides and I love previous bungie titles

But it's the approach to movement and abilities and encouraging thought and decision-making that really pulls me in

I do find it charming that I read that Absolute Wonder Woman is "less political" than the other Absolute titles. lol
Absolute Universe Diana is genuinely one of my favorite versions of Wonder Woman. Issue 3 was so so good! Like the other titles are dope but I literally teared up reading this page. Hype for the next one! Thank you for this incredible story. Needed this today! @kellythompson.bsky.social

Any of you still sometimes hanging out on Twitter (I was too), I urge you to stop doing that, cold turkey.

I have kept my account open as I don't want anyone grabbing the name up -- but I am done posting there as of today and I hope you all are too.

Really annoyed about the gender roles assigned to support roles in games.

Read comments today on how Jean Gray and Emma Frost should both be strategists in marvel rivals
