The Edge of the World | MAGIC: THE GATHERING A suspicious businessman hires Jacob Hauken to investigate a series of supernatural murders, but his prime suspect is not the true criminal.

a couple years ago i had a Magic story come out about a sad detective who gets seduced to the dark side by a necromancer, and they posted it under some random guy's name at first, which I think resulted in fans of my previous work missing it. anyway i like it. apparently it was too gay for Russia

Somehow, today marks the tenth (?!) anniversary of the launch of “Minecraft: Story Mode.” It was a bit of a punching bag for the internet and social media back then, but it has unbelievably continued to draw fans all these years later even while unavailable to play in any (official) form.

I'm often reminded that Demon Days is a perfect album. I think it hits harder now than it did at release, for me, but I've loved it since day 1.

The Sound of Music (1965)

Sam & Max, the dog and rabbity-thing crime-fighting duo also known as the Freelance Police, wielding a big gun (Sam) and a baseball bat (Max) from their moving De Soto. This artwork first appeared on Telltale Games' website soon after they announced plans to make episodic games based on the franchise.

Twenty years ago this week, Telltale announced that they'd signed a deal with Steve Purcell to make episodic Sam & Max games. Time flies!

In honor of this momentous occasion, all three Sam & Max remasters are on sale on Steam, PlayStation, and Switch. (Sorry Xbox peeps, we'll get you next time!)

Took the kiddo to see the Demon Slayer Movie. Was basically 2.5 hours of characters standing around angrily remembering things at each other. Kiddo loved it.

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of a sandy landscape with statues and flags submerged in sand. In the distance you can see a temple and a large triangular shaped mountain.

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of a temple with red brick, covered in foliage. There is a half pipe in the center.

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of an ethereal blue landscape with floating islands, a ghostly bridge, and a large triangle structure on top of a mountain.

A screenshot of "Sword of the Sea". The image is of two large armored warriors in a frozen landscape. One is buried beneath the snow with only its hand clawing towards the viewer. There is a beam of light coming from one of the warriors eyes.

meme of two guys looking out a bus. guy on the left is depressed and looking to the left, because "they're having a meeting without me". he is labeled "associate". guy on the right is smiling and looking at a bright horizon because "they're having a meeting without me". he is labeled senior. director would wrap back around to the left probably

Today, while packing, I managed to knock my switch onto the floor and broke my joy cons… 😭

Hey Y'all,

I am still looking for work so, any boosts or leads would be appreciated!

I'm looking for contract work as a Narrative Designer & Game Writer but am also open to doing consulting work!

Here are some of the games I've worked on but you can find more of my work at sahilbajaj.dev

This is the part that gets me as well. Sometimes people will say, “Well AI isn’t going to take Director level jobs.” And I ask them who the hell is going to be Director level when all of us who built our skills over a career end those careers.

As a developer that has been fairly public: we're not equipped to deal with the deluge of abuse and hate that comes our way - and I'm an indie, I'm literally responsible for my own choices. Can't imagine having to stand in that torrent for choices the stakeholders forced despite my objections.

One of my favorite Telltale memories is being at the mall across the street for lunch and seeing George just casually walking into Kay Jewelers.

Early films used more mobile camera work than many people give them credit for but they also sometimes used other trickery, like faking a zoom-like effect by wheeling a piece of the set toward the still camera, as we see in the Méliès film THE MERMAID

Night of the Hunter (1955) is full of memorably dreamlike and theatrical compositions:

New episode of All My Maidens! Featuring @rcktpwr.bsky.social and @stauder.bsky.social. This week we're talking about Ranni the Witch! Topics include: the value of missable content, empyreans, Ranni's gang, and killing a bunch of guys so you don't have to marry your brother. check it out!

Hey, Universe. I’d like a book of Calvin and Hobbes watercolors and nothing else. I know it’s a limited demographic, but, please?!

Good lord, the storyboards in the thread are incredible.
