Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

One of the things that, as lead writer, I had to bang into the head of senior leadership sometimes was that writers were not interchangeable even within a project. One writer knew a certain companion inside and out. When we lost that writer, a new writer coming in took twice as long to do the work.

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

The time someone read one of my short stories and went "You have a lot of women in positions of power that are traditionally male. Are you trying to say that matriarchal-led societies are doomed to failure?"

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

My child loves going to the library and checking out a new video game every week. Going digital only eliminates libraries as a way people can access games.

I have three slots. One is still right around $100, while the other two had some bidding! If you want me to crit a novel or talk shop, you’ve got some options!

Trick Weekes was lead writer on Dragon Age: Trespasser and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Talk about the difference between game writing and novel writing, the unique challenges of writing branching narrative, and what new and aspiring game writers can do to build their skills.

My nemesis of Deltarune Chapter 5's secret boss fight: not the bombs, but the final maze. Because I was a dumbass who forgot holding B out of battle might let you run, but holding it in battle slows down your soul Leading to me needing to do the final maze 4 times before I realized why I was slow
