Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

My favorite OG Xbox game.

Digital game stores crash as Hollow Knight: Silksong finally arrives Steam, Nintendo eShop, the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store all experienced outages this morning.

I don't think I've ever seen this happen. www.shacknews.com/article/1457...

Dan Pesina posted this yesterday. It’s one example of the lies Pesina has peddled for years. He had no influence on the story or characters of any #MortalKombat game. I break down many of his lies in this chapter of my book, Long Live Mortal Kombat. arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/...

Amie and I have very different approaches to my writing contracts.

Me: “Ooh, shiny! Lemme sign it.”
Amie: “I’m going to read this carefully. For hours. While taking notes and asking questions.”

Fuck I love this guy. He's a breath of fresh air.
