Have you met me? I work at PlayStation, which means I have so many games I never get to play. My love language is flipping people off at the office. I have a choco lab named Kira who has full control of my mental well-being. And I cut my own every so often because I can. Usually at night

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

Got the unfortunate news that my contract position won't be renewed after January 31st, so if anybody needs a Cinematics Director or Storyboard Artist in 2025, hit me up.
I've Directed on Destiny 2 & My Dad the Bounty Hunter, and Storyboarded on Sonic 3, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man & more.

Back in Ferelden and it's like I never left ♥ Also, all hail the modders for the guides to make the game work on modern pcs. Went from the first picture to the latter and it's a world of difference.

No wonder 14 y/o me swooned over everybody, they are are just so well written. I've missed them 🥺

Game developers are the most multi-talented group of creatives in the world. Technically and artistically brilliant and deserving of much more respect than they are given by the industry.

I appreciate a leader who understands that.
-shows up wearing ceasefire pin
-talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs
-denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms
-takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives
-doesnt name drop any celebs

forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

For fuck's sake people, converse with your authors in the traditional manner:
Step 1) Buy 10 copies of their book
2) Travel to the sacred bog at midnight
3) Recite your favorite of the author's lines
4) Make your offering of fine coffee
5) Watch as the author creature rises from the murky depths

I keep seeing posts like this and I keep being surprised at just how naive people are being about the potential for pure generative AI to somehow be the way way game are made.

These tech demos are neat, but this is never going to happen 🧵

It’s with a heavy heart I name you, Becky Buck-Kill, after having startled you into ending your previous owner’s life, but it’s a task I must do. Especially after I robbed the fella for his measly $1.80.

Out here scavenging plants and flowers with a $300 bounty on my head from two different states. F u, stranger for reporting me after I saved a captive from a basement and I helped myself to my reward 💰 . This was between me and the captor and I don’t care for you messing with my flower-picking time
