I'm getting frustrated with my site's templates. How did you build yours?

Ryan McDiarmid | Narrative & Game Design The personal website and portfolio of Ryan McDiarmid. Writer, visual artist, and game dev with a focus on narrative & game design.

Just launched a redesign of my website.
Updated portfolio section coming soon!

I love this design.

May it burrow so deep into the earth that it meets a hungry balrog.

A title image reads “So Youve Just Been Laid Off a post-corporate message from @katewelchhhh”

“One year ago, I was laid off from my corporate gaming job. For the first time in my 15-year career, I was unemployed without a next secure, salaried job on the horizon. I am either exceptionally lucky or talented, but it doesn't matter which it is - both no longer seem applicable.”

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it:

One step closer to a real Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Nice. Looking forward to reading it.

A pair of comic panels where the Joker is facing down former partner in crime Red Skull. The Joker, a madman, is repulsed that the Red Skull is a Nazi and even thought the Joker would make a superb Nazi. The Joker is pissed at the accusation and steps to the Red Skull while reaching into his coat to pull out a weapon.

A real "Even the Joker has standards" moment.

Unbelievable

Jeff Bezos is behaving badly again, so I'm obligated to share my game where you spend all his fucking money direkris.itch.io/you-are-jeff...

this is literally the critique of crypto that was offered when it was launched, so please, fuck off into the sun

Thank you. I was part of a tremendous team, and LG had a bunch of writers over the years. I inherited a world built by great writers like @antlervel.vet.

My cousin Mo (and sister in arms @mostlybree.kitrocha.com) have been doing bang up work bringing the righteous fury and whistles and hope to... (waves hands) everything that's been happening. If you haven't been following either, remedy that now.

I mean, aren't we all at some point in our lives?

Depends on when (won't be there for the whole thing), but yes. And happy early birthday.

French Response * @FrenchResponse X.com Investigating child sexual abuse material isn't controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn't fl in France. Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 3h This is a political attack

The French are taking none of Musk’s bullshit.
