When something’s wrong, and you *know* it’s wrong, and you quietly go along with the wrongness anyway, it eats a little piece of your soul. At best, you end up second guessing about what you should have said and beating yourself up for being a coward. At BEST.
Being in a union as an actor is brilliant for a number of reasons, not least because sometimes you get to attend a meeting chaired by the clown who traumatised you as a child!
i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor
For the umpteenth time: do not attack people for having an unusually shaped body, comment on the objectively evil things they do and say. This isn't hard! Being shitty about bodies/appearance while disabled people are vilified for being seen in public feeds into ableist rhetoric.
I've released a new trailer for Captain Disaster and the Two Worlds of Riskara: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYE... #pointandclick

I recorded my roles in Nighthawks about 3 years ago- I’m not currently working with @wadjeteyegames.com but because I am “Wadjacent” I sometimes get messages like this:
This is about me:

Nighthawks has sold TEN THOUSAND copies in less than one week! For a tiny studio like ours, this is a huge milestone. To all the supporters, backers, wishlisters, and everyone who believed in this game and us, thank you so much.

Another BAFTA event- this time previewing the first two episodes of East of Eden with a q&a with Florence Pugh and Zoe Kazan! Genuinely stunning, and made with so much care. A few of the other Breakthroughs and I managed to cadge another red carpet photo!
When I say Nighthawks is *witty* I mean it’s a game without any AI, that’s been occasionally accused of using AI art, but it also contains in-world articles apologising for AI disinformation about the vampires.
Even vampires can't escape the AI slop, it seems. (The game is Nighthawks)
Look, I know I'm tempting fate with this, but... thanks to @konstantinosd.bsky.social, just noticed that Nighthawks is now sitting at 'Very Positive'. If you've enjoyed it, why not help us get all the way to Overwhelming? store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/... (If you haven't enjoyed it, shhh :-P)
Everyone knows that the Dark Urge path is the best way to play anyway, and Nighthawks is *all* Dark Urge path
Off to Netflix today for a roundtable with 2016 BAFTA Breakthrough Florence Pugh!
There's a character in Nighthawks that is the most evil character in Wadjet Eye history. She is just the literal worst. I needed someone I could trust to handle it with the deftness it required, so I gave it to Sally. I won't spoil anything, but you aren't prepared.
If you're playing the dollhouse section in Nighthawks (which is where you'll hear me) just be aware, it's a punch in the gut.

Annoyingly this actually made me think of one. "It's only a *classic* Christie if it has Poirot or Marple. Otherwise it's just Sparkling Cyanide" One for the kids, there.
I've just got the latest update from the council: we're retiring the "otherwise it's just sparkling ________" joke. The council statement says "once the same joke appears in every third thread, including ones where the person was being serious and deaths were involved, it's grow up time"

When we were making the trailer I had to stop myself multiple times from trying to squeeze in just one more Amelia Tyler / Monika dialogue. They're all just so GOOD.
I can best sum up Amelia's amazing performance as Monika by saying that as soon as I heard the recordings, I had to physically stop myself asking "Hey, you mind if I add another few hundred more lines of dialogue to the script?"
The good: I get to show my dad an overview of the actual gameplay in Hellraiser: Revival--narrated by me! The bad: Because of how the video is edited, the exact moment I say my name (also his name), my character gets his nipple pierced mid-coitus. THAT'S HELLRAISER, BABY youtu.be/Lx7Wdome96s?...

I guarantee the three of clubs was not a random writing choice - it's a specific reference, and a good one at that. I appreciate this level of care. (This is Nighthawks, from @wadjeteyegames.com. I think the words are @richardcobbett.bsky.social's.)
