Karl 👻 Parakenings - Looking for Work

(strained smile)

It's really cool and important that he says here that he's just portraying what's normal to him.

The people I admire in this business are being laid off. God damn.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

you should probably join our discord... no reason 👀

(about to cross 1000 total entries for our fan art event which means we'll be giving away another 500 itch copies of scarlet hollow and slay the princess)

I really love these interjections.

immortalized for showing your ass...

There is no way to beat these odds. There is only time.

I laughed at first, reading the patch note about a memory leak that occurred after 1000 flips. I ain't laughing anymore.

As I wrote 10 years ago in my final magazine: you have immediate access to decades of games/scans/videos/etc. to make a unique gaming text. You can go bigger than a zine and still make it look cool, and you don't have to make yet another platform/genre catalog. Curate and craft for god's sake

It's funny how UNFAIR FLIPS immediately feels more rewarding than job hunting in 2025, lol.

I might actually take the day off of work for this

Cool :)

It's that time again, folks. I have been told I will be let go from Heart Machine next week. The people there have been amazing friends and coworkers and anyone else who has been affected deserves all the love and support.

I will be updating my portfolio soon; any Env Art leads would be appreciated

don't spend it all in one place eheh-heh

just gave you a dollar after reading thsi

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Did you get cursed by a caterer?

What are the books? I need to add to my piles of books I'm not reading because I'm also tired.

solid, very solid

Games aren't as good these days. Now Fortnite, there was a game.
