Side note: I once read someone say that despite all the bad things that happen to the characters, Pulp Fiction isn't a bummer because the last time we see each character they're in a good place.

Thought of @mitdasein.bsky.social when some National Parks guys on my train ride home pointed out that we were passing through the area where D.B. Cooper did the only unsolved airplane hijacking. Got a stamp in my notebook as if the Coastal Starlight were a National Park.

It's been one year since I was laid off, and my contract with Blizzard ends in two months. I'm still looking for my next role as a senior writer or narrative designer! I have over 8 years of experience working in AAA games from live service MMOs to single player. You can find my work on my website.

7-2. First loss was a gnarly 20 turns vs oppo looping Jill and the black murder sidequest. Probably lost that game with a careless autotap. #MTGFinalFantasy www.17lands.com/history/041e...

RIP George Wendt. I had the incalculable privilege of seeing him onstage in London's West End along with Stacy Keach in a play called Art, about an overpriced blank canvas and the dudes who found it inscrutable.

Had a dream that I was at the most epic party. Went on a long time, many interesting details that I should not print. Had that nesting logic where I thought it must be processing a party I'd been to IRL which turned out to be more dream. Been a while since I woke up disappointed a dream was over.
