herbs & herb accessories for Pentiment :) one of the first sets of full props i did during my internship. it was fun researching the style/relevant plants for these.

weird accomplishments: illustrated a guide to drawing suits that somehow went so viral a suit shop used it in their banner ads without telling me. i still cross paths with it once in a while. i will never escape

weird accomplishments: there is a pretty bad 600+ page novel whose existence is directly my fault. it has 4.5 stars on amazon. I (with the team I was on) could have easily made Riot a couple hundred million dollars, conservatively I own a one of a kind couture piece that is monetarily worthless

i don't soccer but i will graciously accept any excuse to be obnoxious about being spanish for a couple of hours

erotic thriller is such a great genre concept. like youre naked but you have to save the president

Project Zomboid secretly has some of the best horror writing in games and if you're into that sort of thing it's really worth your time! Therefore so is this:

Patrick "Unemployed" Brennan@patbren.bsky.social · 4w ago

Sadly, the dreaded bite mark has appeared on my time at Project Zomboid. I am heading back to what I do best - writing nonsense on Patreon/Kofi (content on both will be identical, everything will be available from the lowest tier). www.patreon.com/cw/Pat_Bren ko-fi.com/pat_bren Thanks everyone.

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

The only reason anyone can access any part of the games that jumpstarted my career anymore is an entire group of dedicated fans archived episodes of the mobile game by recording it, video by video, with months of grueling effort before the apps vanished and servers disconnected.

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

It is vital you buy your small child (or the small child you know) that cheap, shitty watercolor set and that cheap, shitty colored pencil set and that cheap, shitty sketchbook Don't even wait for a reason, just bring it home one night That stuff is transformative in ways you've totally forgotten

You want the award-winning writer of South of Midnight on your game, YOU DO

Zaire@zeestermeester.bsky.social · 2mo ago

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

Hi all!! I'm opening kitchen sink comms- you dream it i'll make it. feel free to DM me to pitch an idea if you're not sure! The job landscape has frankly been frightful- would appreciate a boost!! #art #commission #commissionsopen #digitalart form here: forms.gle/ugt3aTsa3xD8...

yes... ha ha ha... YES

I was like "Rob do you have a review of 007 First Light lined up" and he was like "no actually" so anyway here's 3600 words on why this game rules. Like specifically the "why" of it. remapradio.com/articles/007...

most video games can be boiled down to playing dolls and, as a rule, the more a video game lets you play dolls, the better it is

Apparently some podcatchers took a while to cache the episode but it's out and it's long and reviews are saying it's "good"

Making Heyer@makingheyer.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Episode 3 is here! This month, we're reading Instead of the Thorn, a weird, unpleasant book that caused us various trials and tribulations but led to some really interesting conversation. One of the novels Heyer later removed from publication, and we can see why. #romancelandia

easily my favorite genre of bluesky gag is the celebrity/historical figure remix display name. gore vidal sassoon. shakira kurosawa. stop being so funny

"chomp jacket": the colloquial name for my mother's lacoste sweatshirt because when i was a baby i'd stick my finger on the alligator's mouth and she'd say "chomp"

merritt@merrittk.com · 2mo ago

hit me with your hyperspecific friend or family slang. when i was a kid my friend once ate too many sour patch kids and then had some ketchup on fries and it was painful because of how acid blasted his tongue was. he told this story a few times, so "a ketchup story" came to mean an oft-repeated tale

007 first light is an eldritch object. i can't look at it too long or else i go feral and start writing gibbering outlines of thirteen new spy stories

brooding and yearning?

This is something I come back to a lot as a writing coach. Many writers I work with are looking to level up their game; but as many are searching for ways to do things like re-find joy in their work or shut up their inner editors long enough to get a draft down. (cont'd)

You have the right as a human being to make art. That includes art that is not perfect. That includes art that is not good.

RE4R new game plus operates on bugs bunny logic. you can ventilate huge bioweapon monstrosities by chasing them around the room a few times and shooting them with a cork gun

I really love it when an artist I follow gets insanity levels of obsessed with [thing they like] and will not stop drawing it. It's so very charming. Go girl give us one billion drawings of that little freak in your head who I know nothing about. He's my blorbo in law now

it's true i had a baby opossum in my yard and i immediately pinged @catacalypto.bsky.social

by age 30 you should have one friend for every major animal group to spam. seen a good crab post? forward to your token crab person. bat post for the bat person. cicada post for the cicada person. bear post for the bear person. jellyfish post for the jellyfish person. and so on and so forth.

first hour of re4 remake: bells, balls, and bulls (affectionate)

i think a lot of people getting into arknights wonder at some point if the story-central magic rock disease is what is giving people cat ears, and the lore reveal that it’s the other way around will never not be the funniest thing to me
