Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Definitely in that brain fuzz of wanting to do game design, but the motivation just isn't really there. I envy people that can come up with an idea and just throw a prototype together in less than a day. It always takes me multiple days to drag a game kicking and screaming into existence. 040
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Didn’t realize when I left the house this morning that I would be picking up the art book to one of my all time favorite shows. #GravityFalls 020
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 20/09/2026To all the scalpers who bought up all the Resident Evil popcorn bucket medical bags and are reselling them for at least 3-4 times the cost or more… I don’t like you. 030
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Saw the new Resident Evil movie with some friends and really enjoyed it. I can understand why some people might not like it and while it's not perfect it hit on most of what I was wanting from this type of movie. 010
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I knew it! I have been without internet for a week and its because the people my neighbors brought in last week to remove some trees cut my line! Vindication! 200

Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Trying to do some game design and imposter syndrome just likes to show up out of nowhere and make you question everything you’ve done up to this point. 110
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Welp, I think I've finished all the design work on one of my games and now all I have to do is pitch it... Now the hard part begins. 141
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Just listened to a recording of the very first playtest of a game I am co-designing with another designer. It’s a strange new feeling that a game I helped design was played for the first time and I wasn’t there to be a part of the experience. I haven’t even held the physical version yet! 010
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Been working on a game mechanism in one of my designs and trying to find an alternative that feels better. My current one solves an issue keeping unwinnable scenarios from occurring and at this point I will probably just keep it as all alternatives don't work or make the math even more complicated. 011
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Finally finished the prototype rulebook for my game Pentacle and I’m thrilled with the result. Easily the best rulebook I have made, not like that’s saying much, but it’s still nice to see a noticeable improvement in my skill set. 030
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 06/08/2026It’s been an interesting day. Found this guy in our yard, not acting normal and ended up driving him to a wildlife rehab center. 120
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Catching up on #Horror movies: They Will Kill You Okay, so the only thing I knew going in was that this was gonna be something similar to like “Ready or Not”, but wow did it surprise me. Not what I expected and really enjoyed it. 000
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 27/07/2026As always, working on the early stages of a new game design and I couldn't go any further until I came up with a name for the project that I was happy with. 030
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The rulebook for my game that was kickstarted is now up on BGG and since I hadn’t seen the final product I read the entire thing… Reading my own rulebook isn’t weird right? It being out feels like another step towards it being a real thing and not just a fever dream I’ve had the past couple years. 240
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I spent 10-12 hours the past two days taking our washer apart multiple times, cleaning it, and trying to troubleshoot an issue and I guess now the thing decides to die on us…static.klipy.comAngry Office Worker Destroys MonitorALT: Angry Office Worker Destroys Monitor 000

Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Catching up on #Horror movies: Backrooms Even though I am well aware of it, I'm glad I was able to watch this with very little actual knowledge of the source material. Loved the first person POV shots and could have watched the entire movie this way. 020

Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Started working with Affinity this past week to make the rulebook for my game Pentacle and to say I’m excited is an understatement. The fact I can now print out booklets is a game changer for me. #gamedesign 032

Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 09/07/2026End of an era. I don't think I was in the credits for the original Black Flag, but it's nice to see this as one of the last Ubisoft titles with my name on it. 150

Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Catching up on #Horror movies: Five Nights at Freddy's I'm a sucker for film adaptations of video games. Having only played the first game, I didn't have a lot to go off of. Kinda wished they had focused more on the horror aspect as the story felt a little all over the place. 110
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Sometimes you just have to spend half an hour finding a replacement icon for one of the symbols in your game. #gamedesign 140
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Catching up on Horror movies: Smile Primarily wanted to watch this one because I heard the sequel was quite good. Planning to watch that one soon-ish. While a bit predictable, there were some tense, suspenseful moments and had me questioning everything I was seeing. 010
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Catching up on Horror movies I haven't seen: Terrifier Having seen Art the Clown on social media, I’m glad I now have more context for the character. I think it nails what it’s going for: a practical, gritty slasher film. Overall, I enjoyed watching it, though I don’t see it as one I’ll rewatch. 020
Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Ran two simultaneous playtests of my two player game Pentacle at yesterday’s design meetup. Not sure I would recommend everyone try running two at once, but it’s definitely interesting to analyze two different experiences with the game in real-time. 021
