If there’s anything Caves of Qud and FromSoft games should tell us, the problem is not the lore but the dump. Turn your lore into little treasures! Let the folks who don’t care have a duller experience. That’s life!

I can't handle the cognitive dissonance: Every day, I see headlines about record profits for tech companies, then open my mailbox to find dozens of messages from desperate writers and gamedevs who can't find work. Make it make sense

My favorite part of the internet (today) is when a silly idea pops into your head and you end up finding a reddit post where someone already did that exact same silly idea but they did it way better than you were picturing it. www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/...

Truly. When an announcement says "we've laid off the team, but we're going to do our best to carry forward" really sit and ask yourself who "we" is in that situation...

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

My wife has a mental block on the name “1000X Resist. It doesn’t help that I can’t explain what’s happening in the game without sounding insane. Tonight she says “Alright I’ll let you get back to your CharlieXCX game.”

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

The little game we made is #7 on Kotaku's best-of 2024 list!! It's also 25-30% off on Steam/Switch/PS5! I'm really proud of it but I can't enjoy playing it purely as a fan, so I'd appreciate if you did in my stead. Thanks! store.steampowered.com/app/2596420/...
