Narrative designer at ccp games (CCP Diegetic) and aspirational hype man.
NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post
One: "abhorrent”
Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Hot take: Your best soldier missing the easy shot that fails a mission that tips the balance that begins the down spiral to humanity's inevitable end is good and I love it.

Amazing! Beginning a spellcasting story arc that ends with an alcoholic skeleton. Best fantasy film of the 80s? 🤷♂️

Finally really getting to crack the spine of @natedimeo.bsky.social's The Memory Palace book. It is just as wonder-inducing as the podcast. Started reading it to our unborn child so they can become a curious nerd just like us.

Allowable any Nikki Giovanni I killed a spider Not a murderous brown recluse Nor even a black widow And if the truth were told this Was only a small Sort of papery spider Who should have run When I picked up the book But she didn't And she scared me And I smashed her I don't think I'm allowed To kill something Because I am Frightened

These days the existence of junior narrative jobs in video games are few and far between. So how do you get in? Are you just supposed to appear out of nowhere as as a fully formed narrative designer like Athena sprang from the head of Zeus? Fear not! There are things you can do.
