The Brad Bird trademark 50s retro futurism simply does not work in a 2026 culture that desperately tries to drag us back to the values of the 50s without examination. The trailer confirmed this to me with the whole "you're a real throwback!" This is exactly what I expected. Regression.

The ARG creator group Daiyonkyokai is working on this for SquareEnix. Their previous work on Silent Hill was available in English so hopefully they will continue this trend.

i'll be speaking at CIGS this sunday, and you can also find a zine of five of my games on sale at the merch table!

A mosaic of zines named "Five Small RPGs" with a variety of different-colored covers.

I'm genuinely elated that no matter how important I get to be in my scene I'll always be the lesser Rainer of the ARG world.

Hopefully Fourthwall sees how many ppl are leaving and realizes how stupid this is by before December, but if not, I will explore other options for the shop. Great. More unnecessary work that takes time away from my film because greedy fucks make life miserable for everyone with a soul.

I think I just closed the chapter of the last decade of my life yesterday. Anyway. I think 18 year old me would be baffled by 28 year old me, not the least of which because I'm alive. Perhaps 38 year old me will be the same.

Thinking about the usage of "thats been done" to dismiss the nuance of queer or disabled experience. Hate to break it to the person that this is about but normative bodies tend to create a different kind of thing than non-normative ones. And since when do humans tell one story one time anyway?

Hey folks- if you haven't heard from me and you're supposed to have? Don't be afraid to poke me really hard with a stick or something. Balancing the 40 hour a week job and the creative work has been really fucking hard and I know I've been bad at contacting some folks because of it.

So- got a few irons in the fire right now that I can't say too much about but I can say something. - I'm working on a solo project. It'll happen when it happens. - Cooking up a Twitch thing, with some folks (you can probably guess). - Game #1 is still in production. Life just happens.

Anecdote of the day on "breaking news" and how the algorithm is killing context - In the wake of major analog horror adaptation news, a fan (whose handle I'm redacting out of courtesy) made up a tweet about Monument Mythos being picked up by Apple TV. It was likely done as a joke.

I've come to the determination that my avoidance of making art for myself is actually an avoidance of self. I had my reasons... but I've spent enough time getting around to getting around to it. I'm not getting through this next bend by making nothing. Whatever comes, I hope you don't mind.
