Dear Francisco, We are thrilled to announce that your talk submission has been accepted for NarraScope 2026! Here are the details for your session: Talk Type: Standard Presentation (45 min) Title: Going Union Part 2: How Indies Can Hire Top-Tier Talent And Not Break Their Budget
Excited to announce I’ll be speaking at Narrascope this summer!
A sequel to my 2023 talk, I’ll be explaining the new tiered budget agreements and recounting my experiences with Rosewater and Foolish Mortals.
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

A screenshot from Twin Peaks. An FBI agent driving in a car is saying "Diane, 11:30am, February 24th. I'm entering the town of Twin Peaks" into a dictaphone.
Happy 'entering the town of Twin Peaks' day to those that celebrate 🥳

Poking @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social because I know the 3rd number has to be The Shivah.
OMG has it been 20 years! 👵
On Saturday at 3 PM ET I'm going to be streaming a game I haven't thoroughly played since the mid-90s -- Cosmology of Kyoto, the early game that blew Roger Ebert's mind with the possibilities of an "open world." Also you can get molten metal poured into your ass and out of your mouth! Be there.

Temperature in NYC is -12 Celsius, feels like -25.
Model in the Olympic winter games Ceremony wearing an extreme winter coat that reaches the floor.
Can’t go out today unless I get one of those Olympic Games coats to brave the cold and wind in NYC. (Temperature in Celsius.)

This is brilliant and timely but also interesting. The play 'Sir Thomas Moore' was actually by Anthony Munday and Henry Chettle but was later revised by other writers, including this bravura section attributed (with some evidence) to Shakespeare. An early example of script doctoring.
