Sweet bleeding Mithras y'all, I get being an unhinged Astarion fan, that is one messed up guy, I like him and I don't usually have time for vampires. But you do realize that he's, like, pretend?? And that someone can have a different take on who he is or his story, right?

Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.

The lifeboat volunteers I knew were the funniest, most relentless adults in my life as a kid. The job is an unimaginable combination of comedic tedium and abject, relentless terror. To do it at all is stunning. To volunteer to do it is incredible.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Learn the business of this industry if you’re going to publish things for money, especially if your goal is to do that on a significant level. Every industry that employs writers wants you to be and actively tries keep you ignorant and powerless. Craft education is great. Mix some business in there.

It's a lovely, ridiculous comedy show that reaches Taskmaster heights of loopy invention. You can find the first two series of Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee (Australian version) on the iPlayer and I think you'll very probably fall in love. What a true gem.

Man it’s so crazy how the making of Teeto ended up being sooo personal. I had our beautiful daughter voice some characters, her cousins made up their own characters & voiced them, we even both got engaged making the game… and now you can just go & buy it?? (you should buy it) #indiegame #gamedev

I once got into an honest to goodness fight with a guest at the radio station when he threatened to stab me. He did not in fact have a knife but he did have a go at an eye gouge that I took a bit personally. No I can’t say who.

Be really careful about getting concussions. If you find ANY sort of a lump, get it checked. Try new things and don’t stop trying. It doesn’t matter if you’re good at them or not, even your failures will make you happier than doing nothing. Remember your local library.
