Writer, game dev, founder of Studio Wife. Probably the first person to use the phrase “proper reem” in a game. Wishlist I Write Games Not Tragedies on Steam!

Not personal: e.g. IMO, this work is incoherent, superficial and badly-written. Personal: e.g. You're ugly. You're hideous. Your tattoos are ugly. You're a bitter old woman. You're jealous. You're evil. You're ungrateful. You should shut up forever. I hope you die. I hope this helps!

The oddest thing about the response to this essay is people who say it’s “personal”. You can disagree about some or all of it! I may well be wrong! But it’s not “personal” to analyze a film or other work of art, even negatively. Criticism is more than “Hurray!” or “Hiss!”

Really excited to announce that I will be one of these speakers! Come to #AdvX26 to hear about my, @cornmandog.bsky.social and @yotsubainteractive.bsky.social’s misadventures translating “I Write Games Not Tragedies” into Japanese and Chinese!

Hey gang - the quicker you move away from the concept of a one true "dream game" the better. Get used to the idea that you have many great ideas - it will make you a better designer because you won't be super precious about it and good design is often about what you cut

Gamedevs - do you still want to make your “dream game” someday? If so then what’s stopping you from starting it now? And what kind of game is it? #indiedev #gamedev

Dreams on a Pillow is the game that the establishment doesn't want you to play. A game made by Palestinians about Palestine. This game needs to exist, and we can make it happen. Please back, share, and talk about this game. We must amplify the voices that they're trying so hard to silence.
