Narrative designer, game writer, translator. I should probably skeet more about these and less about lifting stuff. https://linktr.ee/leoandradewriter

I have been having so much fun focusing mainly on indie games with super stylized, often retro graphics. Legit haven't touched AAA in a while, though a replay of Prey (2017) is calling to me.

My Brazilian Portuguese translation of Thousand Year Vampire, published in Brazil by Tria Editora, is fucking killing it at the crowdfund! The initial target was 10k BRL. There were only stretch goals up to 30k. Really happy to see how many other folks wanted this one. #TTRPG #translation

Got approached by a prospective client TODAY who wanted help creating a D&D adventure for an AI DM, after trying to have an LLM come up with it only resulted in unplayable shit. NGL, it was satisfying to tell him "no" and that his product is doomed to homogenous mediocrity

Every time I reinclude Bulgarian split squats in my programming, I'm reminded of how much I fucking hate them (compliment, I guess). Post-disk-bulge, it lets me to hit quads and glutes hard with less weight than I normally need, staying super upright. Hooray! But the DOMs is persistent and awful.

Just want to remind folks that this keeps happening. Burials of assumed-important ancients discovered to be women via genetic testing, after decades of them simply being assumed to be male. The patriarchy is incompatible with reality.

The #BronzeAge #UptonLovellShaman​'s burial in Wiltshire has long been considered an important religious figure & metalworker. It's been barely questioned someone of such status must be male. But now #aDNA analysis revealed that the body is in fact: a woman. 🏺 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I can't believe I even have to say this, but: Insisting on the reader developing basic literacy and vocabulary improvement skills is not, nor has ever been, ableism. Encountering a word you do not understand is not gatekeeping. It's an invitation for you to learn a new word. FFS.

Morning, bitches! The key to teaching yourself anything is to allow yourself the grace to fail many, many times before you start judging yourself at it. I wanted to draw, so I made many terrible drawings. I wanted to write TTRPGs, so I made many terrible TTRPGs. Failure is how we learn.
