Andy Heather @andyheather.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I reread Neuromancer every year and it keeps giving. After I used AI for the first time, I reread it and Case switching the AI construct on, talking to it, then restarting it and asking it if it remembered the conversation they just had was eerily familiar. Bill wrote that in 1982-3. 000

Andy Heather @andyheather.bsky.social · 25/06/2026🧵 I heard a lot of friends and podcasters talking about how the Mandolorian and Grogu movie 'felt like an episode of a TV show' and 'didn't seem to have proper stakes'. For science, I decided to do a little thought experiment where I treated Mando + Grogu as a story I had been tasked with breaking.static.klipy.comGoing For A Ride GroguALT: Going For A Ride Grogu 101

Andy Heather @andyheather.bsky.social · 08/07/2025This news hit hard. Not just because John and Brenda are legends but also because I was senior narrative designer on this game early on and I am still incredibly excited to play it as a fan. Publishers, do not sleep on this one. 😉 040
Andy Heather @andyheather.bsky.social · 17/01/2025I used to collect examples of 'environmental storytelling in the real world' on Twitter. I found it gave me ideas for environmental storytelling in games and demonstrated how 'on the nose' those real vignettes can be. I thought I'd recreate the thread here in the hope that others will contribute. 422668
