I cannot stress how good the writing in Baby Steps is. Iโ€™ve described it as if you did Silent Hill characterization in a comedy. Really beautiful, largely improvised, magical realist narrative aimed directly at its audience.

I support free speech, but I also think Bluesky should ban anyone that says eating the lower half of a mermaid is not cannibalism

I donโ€™t care if genetically itโ€™s fish flesh not human, in my book it still counts as cannibalism and I expect this platform to uphold that fact

Yooka-Replaylee is out today. I was a backer of the original Kickstarter, and couldn't have anticipated that I'd get to write for the series at all - even if my time with it was brief.

It's been really heartening to see how many folks care about the world and story.

One of the recurring conversations I had with studios at Gamescom is when they tried it, generative AI was often a terrible fit for real production workflows.

Iterating on assets was time consuming, getting the right prompts to address basic details a chore, and wasn't worth changing approach for.

More in disbelief of seeing people play the game I've been a part of for a year, and it seems they really like it! If you're at Gamescom stop by booth 50 of Hall 10 to play WTF: Waifu Tactical Force!

Clickholding, Hellraiser, El Paso ... anywhere? Iโ€™ve had a few conversations withย Strange Scaffoldโ€™sย Xalavier Nelson, Jr. over the years, but it still feels like thereโ€™s so much to talk about. Thatโ€™s mostly because Xalavier is such a deeply thoughtful, interesting guy. But
