Each of these had me in a creative chokehold 😊 and each influenced me in strange, unknowable ways.
Katie's work on Yatzli and the impact she had on Avowed cannot fit on a single resume. And yet, despite that, Katie's best work is still ahead of her. So this industry had better wise the fuck up and get her a job.
So many amazing, wonderful people - and me - were laid off today. All of them deserve the world and I hope they get back on their feet soon. As for me? I suppose I'm open for work once the shock wears off.
Jay came to the studio in a *difficult* time, where it seemed that hardship would never extract its talons from his flesh, and nonetheless handled himself with grace and professionalism. He and his talents deserve a good home.
I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!
Ever since AK started working for Obsidian, there was never a grenade that she didn't try and jump onto to save us all. She's a hard worker, a great writer, and an asset to any dev team.
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.
Happy launch anniversary to Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire 😍 Most fun I've had on a project so far. There's a ship forever sailing in my heart crewed by Tekēhu, Maia, Fassina, Bekarna, Concelhaut, Onekaza, Arkemyr, Tayn, Waidwen, Nemnok, Worthless Idiot, and a million other weirdos.
I made a MYST-inspired sourdough, and now Sirrus keeps asking me for more bread pages.
Never expected to see fan art for my charming tea merchant who is out of tea ☺️☕️ Outstanding, @mukuuji.bsky.social! Maybe he’ll get some tea now, as a treat.

Apparently I DO have five hours to kill, and my attention span is just fine 😅 This was a really fun watch. It’s rewarding to see someone dissect a project so thoughtfully. Feeling prouder than ever to have written some good words over the last ten years.

Something must be wrong with my eyesight, because I only see one choice whenever I meet Giatta.
