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.

Very much so! Thanks. Was afraid of my ex for 8 years, who responded to my filing with some outlandish accusations and demands... then she didn't even show up to the trial.

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.

I think every educator who has ever given a quiz or exam should think very carefully about how this game makes you feel on a per-question basis.

This is great stuff, and makes me wonder why all I remember from this game makes it look like a walking simulator. Did I simply not find any of this stuff to be a headache as a NESRPG-pilled teen?

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.

I sure regret letting mine escape me. Don't even remember how. I do remember giving my copy of the Cosmic Trigger paperback with the same cover art style to my cousin who was apparently supposed to work on a RAW-inspired video game. Dunno whatever happened with that. He wasn't an appreciator...

Had a super intersection dream I'll have to write up that started as playing an old school RPG (I was calling it M&M7) that started doing weird things like ambushing my dude when I reloaded a save, ended up getting sucked into the game Palmer Eldritch style. Scary and hellish, house of leaves shit.
