This is why I don't want gen-AI anywhere near my art process, writing process, any of it. I NEED to know where my sources are from. I must noodle my way through figuring out if I have plot holes of my own making. I'll make mistakes - but the definition of failures & successes are my own.

Explain your @ It started as my blog name while I was in uni. I have very vivid dreams, and they sometimes become the foundation of my creative musings. Sometimes dissecting dreams help me figure out my own writing. It's now my business name.

Paste has always been a home for some of the best games writing out there. i was a Paste intern and i truly learned so much from Garrett. he sees and nurtures talent in a way few people in this industry do. really formative experience that i recommend to anyone who wants to pursue journalism!

I made this trailer for Spooky Express! Somehow my only trailer for the whole SGF season, but it's a really cute one and the demo is kinda huge, well worth a look.

This collection of books is without a doubt one of the best and most beautiful things I own. I'm backing this for the slipcase and badge (plus an extra badge for @vividfoundry.bsky.social), as I already own these books. If you don't own them, this is a brilliant way to get your hands on them.

I'll be doing a Journaling for Game Makers workshop on Thurs June 12, 5pm @ Fort York Library! There will be writing prompts and chats! You can also try some fountain pens! I have just filled 23 pens and there's 1 left. What colour should the last pen have?

For @gamespot.com, I asked AAPI folks in the gaming industry about what AAPI Heritage Month means to them and how their identity has shaped their work www.gamespot.com/articles/dev...

Here to say that we wouldn't exist without arts funding. Not only would 1000xRESIST not exist without arts funding, we as artists who practiced for YEARS, trying to understand ourselves and our mediums would not exist without arts funding. Fund the arts! All of them. Including games.

This is the horrid state of the world. I feel absolutely validated in leaving Discords and communities where there are anti-trans people actively posting there. There's no professionalism or trust in those spaces when people like that take space.

I just picked up Void Stranger on @garyjkings.bsky.social's recommendation. He just picked up Arranger which looks good and is very punny and I'm like 👀

Today is Monday and I'm so hyped! It feels so good to not just design for political visual novels, but to play in the sandbox of game design in RPGs, sims, and puzzles. I want to do all these genres throughout my career. Sky's the limit!

It’s easy to feel like it’s us versus everybody in the aftermath of news like today, but these things don’t necessarily reflect how the people around us actually feel. Like, this happened only 2 months ago.
