There just isn't enough time in the day. Currently working on an article / blog post re:Honkai Star Rail and I can feel my eyes closing

the only way forward for video games is self-published games made by properly-organised studios corporate ownership will fire all of you in the end.

Idk what to say about the games industry that someone hasn’t said more eloquently already. Like basically every industry, the people at the top are absolute ghouls, and I constantly daydream about a world where people wouldn’t have to worry about paying bills and could just make art for art’s sake

...

and we're just . . . letting it happen I guess?

in awe of how intentional and, perhaps more importantly, human avowed's world design feels. this lighthouse is a perfect early example

yayyy we love the privitization of public services!!!! I feel so safe!!!

We couldn't do #MTGxFINALFANTASY without going back to the beginning and working with an artist who inspired generations of #FinalFantasy fans. Tune in tomorrow to WeeklyMTG to see more from this set! Tuesday, 10am Pacific, twitch.tv/magic. www.youtube.com/shorts/SxrMC...

I REPEAT. MAGALI YSHTOLA ART. Also a FFXIV AND X DECK!? I’m SO READY FOR LALAFELLS TO BE IN THE GAME. I’m also ready to cry while playing my Tidus & Yuna deck

Definitely going to swap my kindle out for a different ereader at this point

Literally this made my whole week. So excited to see more of the Commander decks (especially Terra's and Yshotla's) and more previews of the entire set!!!

I am screaming into the void as I suppress the urge to become a super villain

chappell talking about trans rights at the #grammys 🫂🏳️‍⚧️

wow rich people in this country can really ransack the government and just get away with it huh

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

man you can't just fuck off and play a video game for a few hours without massive news hapening

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

in the overwhelming sea of darkness, there is a brilliant light!!!

Deactivated my Twittwer account and deleted my app off the phone. Tik tok soon to follow with the way things are going rn.

On #GameMakersNotebook, @alexaray.bsky.social chats with Anne, Douglas, and Nate Austin from Worldwalker Games, developers of Wildermyth! Together they discuss their inspirations, creating memorable characters in procedural experiences, writing for procedural vs traditional narratives, and more! 🎙️👇

aight it's time to delete twitter off my phone for good

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.

fire is something we are so used to as Californians, but the scale of the fires currently taking place is just... paralyzing. as fire surrounds us it's hard to imagine what the city will look like tomorrow.

this expansion has had some of the BEST fights in the entire game. Dawntrail is REALLY bringing a new flavor to fight design and the extra effort made by the devs is much appreciated

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

more and more my decision to stay off Instagram and Facebook is paying off.

Staye safe, moost beautiful citye of Los Angeles, Ich love thee trewe wyth all myne herte.
