One more for the afternoon crowd. Two of the last lines of dialogue I wrote on the last BioWare game I shipped.

Silence as rejection is not the move. “If you haven’t heard from us by X, you didn’t get in” is a fuckass policy.

We're back! 🥳 Submissions for issue 4 are open until 18th October! Submit via the form in the bio 💙 #submissionsopen #litmag #literarymag #strangedaze

Mid-year review about the games I've played so far in 2026 🎮 #substack #gaming

🌙 Elrond, Moon - Reader 🌙 Painted for Magic: The Gathering - Universes Beyond - The Hobbit AD: Cassie Murphy Very excited to show my take on Elrond for the Mtg Hobbit Set! Back when I was a teenager Elrond was my favorite character of the books and getting to officially paint him, was a huge joy! 😍

Latest post over on substack about video game worlds in film! #videogames #videogameblog #substack

A couple people are asking if they need to play BG3 first, and the problem here is that if you play BG3, this book is “wow, it’s the tragic backstory!” If you don’t play it, the book is “wtf, why did Kingfisher write a book about this vampire being tormented that has such a downer ending?!?”

Submissions for issue 3 are now closed! Thanks to everyone who sent something in. Responses will be sent out in the next week or so 💜 x

HAPPY REX MANNING DAY ✨️ Running a lil sale on my Empire Records Fanzine to celebrate 😎

In David’s defense, the only reason he said that transphobes like JK Rowling are little whinging fuckers is because they are, in fact, little whinging fuckers.

I haven't been able to log into Substack because I need to verify my age thanks to the new laws in Australia. I'm going to wait until I'm not overseas though. Has anyone else had to do it? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO 😖
