The year is 2026 and suddenly, World of Warcraft has its claws in me again.

Happy to share that I've joined CD PROJEKT RED as a Senior QA Analyst on Project Sirius, a multiplayer title set in the Witcher universe. Almost done with my first week here and I'm beyond stoked to be a part of this team. 🥳

Have not been able to stop thinking about Dispatch since finishing my second playthrough. What a game.

see also: game criticism imo
A tweet from @katie_campione that reads:
Film criticism, when done well, is supposed to make you think deeper about a film and engage with it in more complex ways. It is not really meant to decide for the entire population whether or not they should see something. You all have agency. You get to decide that yourself.

Mecha Break has got to be the most stylish game I've played in a while. Everything from the loading screens into matches, to menu navigation, to visuals in actual gameplay exudes confidence. They knew exactly what they wanted to accomplish with this game, and they did.

What really gets me about AI art besides the everything is just how fucking ugly it is. It's ugly, maaan. AND it's stealing AND it's killing the environment? Brother ewwww.

So I guess if you're already playing or thinking about it and we're mutuals on here - hit me up. We're on Vowbreaker, Sietch Fajr.

Truly wish I knew more people playing Dune Awakening that I could group up with. My buddy and I were on a top guild that just completely fell apart last night, so now we're deep desert ready but guildless. 😅 Would much prefer to be playing this with people I know.

Found out the hard way that downed ships have a timer before worms eat them whole in Dune Awakening. So my first death to the worm just resulted in me losing all of my main gear, including the unique sword you get from finishing the swordmaster quest. GGs. 🤡

Been generally using social media less over the last month which has actually been kinda nice. But since I last posted here I have: -Turned 31 -Drove to VA to spend my birthday with family and I'm still hanging around here -Played the Dune Awakening beta and absolutely cannot wait for launch

Don't let a motherfucker steal your joy. Watch cartoons, build LEGO kits, get your friends together and play board games, coo at your pets and call them your precious stinky babies, blow off dandelion fluff, whatever sparks joy. Cringe is dead, be free.

Love the data-driven insight while simultaneously fearing for the future of this industry and questioning whether I should even continue to put so much time and effort into it when everything is so uncertain. 😅

Let's take a look at the reasons why you might get laid off while working on a game, shall we?

Your game doesn't do well, which, sure. Harsh, but understandable.
Your game is called a success by Microsoft. Microsoft then lays you off.
You help make a game as successful as Marvel Rivals. You are then laid off.
Your studio gets acquired for over $60 billion dollars. You are then laid off.
You endure executive pressure that forces you into making games your studio isn't good at making. It doesn't go well. You are then laid off.
Someone decides your portfolio needs to be aligned/reorganised/restructured to become more flexible/agile/versatile under economic/industry conditions. Meanwhile, your CEO might've spent $2 million on vintage cars. You are then laid off.

My perpetual struggle with games is liking faster melee-based playstyles most of the time, but always preferring the look of heavy/plate armor over leather or light armor.

Maybe I'm misreading things or missing context here, but I think you can support devs/projects (indie or otherwise) without stomping on other ones or people's enjoyment of them.

A bright spot in an otherwise very stressful week. I started playing dnd again last month and I immediately commissioned @alexlml.bsky.social to bring my paladin, Siegfried, to life. 😊

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

I have such a terrible memory. I don't know how people can play a game and then go back to it years later and still remember every little detail about it. That is very much not the case for me, even with games I've played a million times over.

Feels so weird (in a good way!) to watch people playing Wildgate on stream. I don't know what's different about this one compared to other projects I've worked on in that regard but I'm buzzing with excitement. 😂
