Lead Quest Designer @CDPR, working on the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 My views are my own! Will create adventures if left unsupervised.
I know there are people going through much worse than I am. But still today felt like it had big "Fuck you, Tom!" energy
Zenimax Online Studios has lost most of a team today, having been cut too deeply for too long. I loved working with the content team on Elder Scrolls Online. We scrambled stories out the door with crusty tools and old technology. We made dumb jokes and characters dripping with fantasy pathos.
I spent 45 minutes of a 4 hour road trip walking my kids through the arcs Digimon Adventure seasons 01-02, including all digivolutions (standard, armor, DNA and otherwise). LMy wife looked on with a mix of fascination and horror
Inside of you are two wolves. Because you are a moose carcass.

Wheatus initially intended to release follow-ups to "Teenage Dirtbag" to chronicle the life and condition of the American Dirtbag over the course of their lifetime. A real shame the MacArthur Fellowship fell through.
Sometimes you read a 80s cyberpunk novel and you just whisper "hell, yeah" at the bottom of each page.
Zoe wondered if the plant bed she bought was too modern. It's avant-garden
Some day I have to stop being depressed, or they need to invent self-folding laundry.
Finished one, starting the other. Guessing my way through my project's Appendix N.
Will 2026 be the year I run a tabletop campaign that isn't just a vehicle for goofy bits?
Movie day: -Ratcatcher (my heart hurts) -The Warriors (am I too old to join a gang??) -Licorice Pizza (In progress) -One Battle After Another (on deck) Watching movies in one sitting is a luxury I rarely find time for. Time to make hay!
This year was full of great games. At the 11th hour I've discovered Dispatch is my personal GOAT (2025). Such a blast.
Having folks over tomorrow to play Arkham Horror (2E, ow my nostalgia!). It is only fitting that my attempt at making macarons resulted in formless monstrosities.
Regarding the amount of nickels I would have for each post a game writer made re: hating on stub dialogue: (Did something happen???)
Mary Kenney@marykgames.com · 9mo agoGonna be honest: as a game writer of nearly a decade now (ey!), I really fucking hate stub dialogue
I beat Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Super fun but as an old man my hands are now withered, fingerless stumps.
Normally I wait until I finish reading to post a bit about the book I'm reading but this moment was too fucking good. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Not exactly an undiscovered gem but amazing to read.
I am not a proud man by nature but sometimes I'm just really satisfied with a dumb joke I made weeks ago and I take time to revisit it.
Sons: "Dad, what can we do on this 2-hour car ride?" Me: "TRY TO SURVIVE"
Been derelict in my reading reports. -The Devils, Joe Abercrombie. I liked it well enough by the end, but I found the dialogue too quippy for my taste. -Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckie. Man, it took me a while to get going but once I did I could not stop. -When Gravity Fails, George Effinger. Ehh.
