We're hiring! We're looking for a Writer and Narrative Designer to join the Fallen London team at a senior or mid level. This position is permanent, remote, and full time, which for us means 35 hours a week. #GamesJobs
Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

There is nothing I can say about current events in the news that will speak as clearly as the Author's Note I was asked to write for It Will Only Hurt for a Moment. # TW: discussion of sexual trauma and my firsthand experience of being roofied.

What a breakdown in democracy that we’ve ceded control of AI to tech sociopaths, an amoral marketplace, all manner of grifters up and down and in and outside of government, while the citizenry is just left to sit around and watch Pandora’s Unboxing Video.

So I've been building the Apple native video editing app of my dreams No projects, no libraries, just drop in files, trim, crop, add AI captions, export and get out. On macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Duo And I'm calling it – against my better judgement – Trimothy TestFlight link👇

Male privilege is real. Use it. These creeps don't respect women, but they do respect men, so be the man who steps in, be the man who speaks up, be the man who calls for help. We need you on our side when the chips are down. You really can help, so make a plan, be ready, and help.

We’re working with Top Hat on Well Dweller, which is a fantastic game with great reviews across the board. If you’re a creator or media and would like a key to review the game, hit me up! Yeah, September has been nuts, but don’t let this game get away from you.

I made pesto just yesterday! Hacked down most of four basil plants that were growing so crazy I could barely see out the window. Had to make two trips to get it all in. Best half cup of pesto I’ve ever made.

I mean, obviously games will never give us such immortal art as “Onomatopoeia every time I see ya […] A sound in my head that I can't describe It's sort of zoom, zip, hiccup, drip Ding, dong, crunch, crack, bark, meow, whinnie, quack Yeah”

But Ken, the person you quoted wasn’t talking about their own avoidance of traumatic themes. They were talking about being blindsided by themes they thought to be beyond what their child was prepared to deal with healthily. Is getting a heads-up about stuff like that such a crime against art?

Hey, heads up just in case you’re not aware, you can detach your post from a quote-post in the unlikely circumstance you get piled on by assholes 🙄 Bluesky’s clientele is trending younger, I see… (Yes I am also a parent, how could you tell)
