This is great advice that I should take more often. Creativity was reflex for me long before it was a skill, and it's always nice to exercise that muscle without specific direction.
After talking to a young writer last night, I want to remind you all that it's okay to write without an assignment or goal. Write to explore a new technique, get an idea out of your head, or as emotional exhalation. Write for the raw joy of it. For you alone. It doesn't need to go into a portfolio
A little over a year ago, I proposed to Alyssa with a custom Wingspan box designed by @itshugosnook.bsky.social. Yesterday, we took it to Gen Con to show to Wingspan creator @elizhargrave.bsky.social, who signed it for us!
I proposed to Alyssa today and she said yes! Shout out to @itshugosnook.bsky.social for designing this fantastic Wingspan parody! It’s her favorite board game, and I MAY have lied and told her I was expecting a review copy for a new expansion in the mail. She doesn’t seem too mad about it.
PALS! we're back for another charity stream, and it is, uh, less than two weeks away! i want to hear from you, mutuals and pals, who want to join us - whether you've guested before, or would be on for the first time. we have open spots! come be on stream and help us raise $$ for Trans Lifeline!

First day back at my desk after a few days of work travel. About to sit down to start working on a big piece. Dropped my bagel cream cheese side down on the kitchen floor. Happy Monday ❤️
Interactions like this are the absolute highlight of Gen Con for me

My home is 2 hours from Gen Con. I left 2 1/2 hours ago. I’m still an hour away. This has been one of the craziest days of my life. I genuinely feel like Odysseus

I 100-percented this game when it was on Netflix and then deleted it to make space on my phone and was horrified to learn that it absolutely did not save my progress So now I guess I just have to do it again 🤷♂️

It kinda got buried in the SGF shuffle, but this dumb post from @kylehilliard.com is still one of my favorites from this summer

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the latest game on the cover of Game Informer 👹 We traveled to Capcom's Osaka HQ to play never-before-seen parts of the game, interview the team, and learn how and why the studio is bringing back this series after a 20-year hiatus. gameinformer.com/cover-reveal...
I reviewed The Incident at Galley House! Had a great time with this one as a Roottrees Are Dead fan.
Though the conclusion is a mixed bag, we had a blast figuring out the fates of the doomed souls of Galley House, and it kept us reevaluating our theories and approach til the very end. Our review of The Incident at Galley House: gameinformer.com/review/the-i...

Some heavy Black Flag influence on my lunch songs this week This one is called “Lunch (Way Hey)”
Been so busy with work/wedding stuff that I keep forgetting when exactly I went to France, but then I remembered Isaiah said this and now I'll never forget I was there on Juneteenth
🥷🏾 in Paris on Juneteenth! Let’s gooo
Reviewed this game right when my brother was in town, which was definitely the best person I could’ve played with. It’s great! Also, if you buy the second one on switch, you get the first one for free!
Heave Ho 2 is a great way to spend a few afternoons with family and friends. Our Review: gameinformer.com/review/heave...
The Mermaid Mask (our new murder-mystery detective adventure game) comes out TODAY!
“Uhhh there’s a LOT of people dying in this game. I have no idea why. This is freaking me out,” I routinely say while playing the Everyone Gets Mysteriously Murdered video game
Ahh!! The Mermaid Mask got a 9/10 from Gameinformer!! (the game releases on Thursday) gameinformer.com/review/the-m...
This game rules!!! This series always scratches the Ace Attorney itch I’m always trying to satisfy. It’s also such a treat to look at and listen to — the art style, the soundtrack, the voice cast are all 🤌🏽 Exactly my type of game.
With memorable puzzles, eye-catching animations, and a spirited voice cast, I admire the way the story was told just as much as the story itself in The Mermaid Mask. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/the-m...
