When Veilguard came out I was looking forward to drip feeding all the storyboard work I did on that here on Bluesky. But I lost my appetite for that pretty quickly due to DISCOURSE (TM). Still, for anyone interested it’s all on my website. www.nickthornborrowart.com

The Wheel of Time Season 3 👌

My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

Trump's national security advisor accidentally added a magazine editor to a group chat and leaked military secrets. Here's why that's bad news for Biden.

Writing on a train

This week: Three 4.30 am wake ups and one 5.30am (yay lie in! 😅), three different cities, project of 4 years finally going on site and lots of writing on trains. Thank poopers it’s Friday!

Week 11 of my gym programme. Back to 70kg squat! 💪

🔸For dev notes on the next patch 🔗https://bit.ly/ESRoadmap0226
🔸Got questions? We'll answer them tomorrow in our Reddit AMA! 🔗https://bit.ly/ESAMAReddit

Anyway, if you're looking for a single player game with characters with their own stories, and a chance to battle fantastic creatures in a physics playground and maybe I dunno, there's even smooching, who can say?!?

Might I recommend Eternal Strands now on Gamepass, Xbox S/X, PS5, Epic and Steam!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Necropolis

Currently in the 7th hell of delayed trains. Exactly where you want to be on a Tuesday night following a long meeting.

Just a reminder, but please don't @ writers about their work being terrible.

Obviously people are entitled to opinions but they're not entitled to a conversation with content creators.

First day back in the gym. Crazy how much strength I lost during my lazy/ running phase. Got up to 70kg squat at one point and now 40kgs are a struggle. 😬

Dragon Age tapestry with all the companions

I feel the urge to post my favorite Dragon Age art again because I added some essential details that I felt were lacking (Assan and Manfred 🥺)

Best 60 hours spent no regrets
