I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local merchant princes attempt to bribe theologians and the Pope’s advisors so the Pope will issue a favorable proclaimation”

I'm really annoyed I didn't get a photo of it, but when I was on holiday in Belfast recently our hostel was at the end of Sandy Row (a really Loyalist street) and there was a flag with Kirk's photo and "NO SURRENDER" tied to a lamppost at the end

Angular fantasy characters! #art #DnD

On the left a female spell blade is holding a staff in one hand an a thin sword in the other. She is wearing purple clothes which has puffy, angular sleeves and she is draped in a purple-red cloak which has stars in it's shadows.
On the right, a mummy-looking necromancer with a long, curly beard is holding a reliquary, in which a bone is kept behind glass. His is wearing a tattered, filthy bright hooded robe in greenish grey colour.

Hey, about three months later I am still looking for work. I have done senior level work, I’m comfortable owning zones, writing cutscenes, and environmental narrative. Open to working in other mediums as well.

So with the news of the layoffs at KO_OP, I'm officially looking for work later this fall. I'm an experienced narrative designer that's worked on both sprawling open world stories and intimate cinematic narratives, even netting some award wins and noms. More details on my experience below!

Also btw not working out every detail in advance has the virtue of giving you flexibility as you write. You won't ever be in a position to mourn the months of careful worldbuilding work you did before you started, that now you have to toss or change significantly.

Always made me laugh how Julia is hardly mentioned in the first half of brideshead, apart from to say how much she looks like Sebastian, and then the second half starts with "so of course I married Julia"

I need something fun to read. Last two books I read were Bad Blood (non-fiction about walking the border during the Troubles) and the Information (nearly 500pgs of beautifully written misanthropy)... Probably good that I lost my copy of Blindsight before I could finish rereading it

Yeah, I live in Copenhagen, one of the best cities to cycle in, and the council is constantly begging people to wear helmets/not use their phones/try not to cycle when they're too drunk. I get the issue, but you need these things as a baseline

Scottish clan history is great, especially the early-modern feuds. Constantly betraying and murdering each other, leading to Traditional Highland dress including 2 secret knives (a sgian dubh down your sock and a mattucashlass under your armpit)

I loved it (but what do I mean by love...); amazing vibes, and I quite liked the ending, I think it complicated the tropey conclusions of something like the Hyperion Cantos

Oh yes! Luckily I'd drafted the biggest piece of text in a separate document and I could recover an old version of the file, but I had to redo a load of the text generation 🫠 version control isn't just for big, multi-person projects, kids
