people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

Got the unfortunate news that my contract position won't be renewed after January 31st, so if anybody needs a Cinematics Director or Storyboard Artist in 2025, hit me up.
I've Directed on Destiny 2 & My Dad the Bounty Hunter, and Storyboarded on Sonic 3, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man & more.

Omg what a cool Elden ring tattoo!

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Back in Ferelden and it's like I never left ♥ Also, all hail the modders for the guides to make the game work on modern pcs. Went from the first picture to the latter and it's a world of difference.

No wonder 14 y/o me swooned over everybody, they are are just so well written. I've missed them 🥺

Its kind of amazing how beautiful the world can be when you look up.

Game developers are the most multi-talented group of creatives in the world. Technically and artistically brilliant and deserving of much more respect than they are given by the industry.

I appreciate a leader who understands that.

Thank you 🫶🏼

Finally got my own 30th anniversary controller!
Just had to celebrate the first anniversary as an employee by getting one 🎉🎮

Happy 30th, @playstation.com, here’s to many more 💙

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

For fuck's sake people, converse with your authors in the traditional manner:
Step 1) Buy 10 copies of their book
2) Travel to the sacred bog at midnight
3) Recite your favorite of the author's lines
4) Make your offering of fine coffee
5) Watch as the author creature rises from the murky depths

RIP my trusted steed, Becky Buck-Kill, who defended me bravely against unjust bounty hunters. I got my revenge in the end, darling 🩷

This.

About freaking tiiiimeeeeee. So annoyed at whichever part won’t let me add my card to Apple Pay

I’m in Norway, but fret not, I’ll find something else and get it myself after new years when they estimated it come back 🩷 Thank you for the thought tho, and looking forward to reading it!

I wanted to get your book as a Christmas present but it’s sold out in all the stores 😭 which yet for sold out, but also shucks

Yesss please do! And definitely when your knee is better. The trail had a bit of loose snow which I imagine would be taxing on the knee. But we’ll find something accessible 🫶🏼

Just ordered a Christmas present online only realize I could get another gift from the same store and I can’t quick-cancel it and now I have to pay for shipping twice like an idiot

I hate Christmas shopping but I love getting presents so abolish it for me only, thanks

I keep seeing posts like this and I keep being surprised at just how naive people are being about the potential for pure generative AI to somehow be the way way game are made.

These tech demos are neat, but this is never going to happen 🧵

Its freaking chaotic over here as you can tell 😂 But at least I can tweet about it as best I can. And you’ve seen enough of my streams to imagine the words coming out in those cases 🙊

That's one of the reasons why we make short games.

Takk! Såvidt brukt de nye skoene mine og allerede har limet begynt å gå på den ene sålen 🥲 Har nesten ikke vært noe salting i Oslo enda, og likevel

Hvilke sko har du som varer i fem år? :o alle mine varer maks ett og jeg er så lei 🥲
