When I was 15 I would sit with Dragon Age: Origins and save before every big dialogue. I would replay them over and over and physically write out the trees. I didn’t know at that point that writing or narrative design was even a job I could have. They had such an enormous impact as a studio.

I got my start in my career as Insomniac's very first design intern way back in the day, and I think it's been one of the consistently best game internship programs out there!
Applications for Insomniac's summer intern program are now live (including for a story intern)! Come get direct hands-on experience working alongside our devs on the (imo) pretty exciting stuff we're making now! insomniac.games/careers/

These were three individual pieces I did in 2021. Unplanned, they became something of an accidental sequence. They then prompted me to make the piece in the quoted post, of the pumpkin dance, by way of a conclusion. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, each 95 × 64 mm.

Co-signed! That’s what libraries are for, and they do pay us! Never apologize!
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
This is an INCREDIBLE interview with Mr. T where he shits all over the Netflix documentary they made of him, among other things. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
@ironspike.bsky.social was talking about longing for the rights to the Columbo IP and turns out there's a funny story about that .. slate.com/podcasts/dec...

Replying to @jasonkoebler.bsky.social
seems plausible that in the short term, people are not going to use a janky Adobe clone en masse in a way that fundamentally alters things. But people using AI KoolAid-manning into open source hobby coding communities and destroying them — I think that's already happened and going to get worse

reported on something that was really difficult for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons in a lot of different ways.
Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755
