It’s one of my all time favorite series. I think it’s fine playing the third one on its own. It’s its own contained adventure with a brand new villain and a quick recap at the beginning should cover anything major you might need to know.

Got a part-time job with a letterpress business and by my estimate I have counted close to 4,500 sheets of paper today already.

Up your Arsenal! That was the first Ratchet and Clank game I actually finished.

My immediate reaction was that I hadn’t done this, but then I think of the countless pages of explorative brainstorming I do when coming up with a concept and yeah, those could count as a form of design diary. Writing it all down definitely helps clarify it.

Definitely 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.

Didn’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

To 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.

Saw 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.

I 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!

New comic! Possession might be nine-tenths of the law, or possession might be theft... We only know that possession of a game doesn't guarantee you'll ever play it! 😇 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: semicoop.com/comic/purchasing-games-2026/ #boardgames
A two-panel comic titled “Purchasing Games in 2026.” In the first panel, a video game executive holds up a videogame and explains, “You’re not buying the game. You are purchasing a license to play a game… as long as we decide to keep the game alive.” In the second panel, Rachel holds a game box and says, “You’re not buying the game.” A second speech bubble continues: “You’re buying the hope that one day you’ll have the free time and a friend group to play it.” (credits to Eize Basa whose message was inspiration for this comic).

You know that’s a valid point and I’m honestly curious if anyone else does.

Trying 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.

Yeah, was making the final tweaks to the rulebook last night and it kinda hit me. It came together rather quickly compared to some of my other designs.

Welp, 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.

Just 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!

Been 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.

This is why I add so many rules at the beginning so I have a bunch to take away later.

Quentin Burleson @equipkilt.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Finally 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.

It’s been an interesting day. Found this guy in our yard, not acting normal and ended up driving him to a wildlife rehab center.

Catching 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.

As 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.

The 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.

I 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…

Catching 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.

Started 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

Something I’ve been trying to quantify for myself, how much game design work do you feel needs to be accomplished in a day for it to be consistently productive? Or more specifically for someone trying to do game design as a profession. If that makes sense.

End 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.

I can see that. The closest thing I had for comparison was Chuck E Cheese, but even that isn't that nostalgic for me. Overall I enjoyed watching it and am looking forward to watching the sequel.
