MARVEL'S WOLVERINE IS OUT, BUBS!! I was the audio pillar lead for hero combat -- it was a huge honor to dial in the SFX of Logan's claws, including his iconic SNIKT! As always, I'm so proud to work alongside Insomniac's all-star audio team. Can't wait for folks to hear what we all made together.

It's bizarre how repeatedly people keep hijacking the conversation about Accessibility away from things like closed captioning, colorblindness support, alt-text for screen-readers, etc, to "Games should be easier to play, books should be easier to read, and shows should be simple to understand"

Here's my pinup for @uppermindink.bsky.social's upcoming comic, THE CONSUMED!! Stoked to see this in print alongside the other rad guest artists... It was definitely out of my usual wheelhouse, but I had a blast drawing it!

A dark fantasy pinup illustration of two knights in full armor and vivid red and blue capes, positioned opposite each other vertically. The blue knight kneels to the ground, reaching for the other. He holds out a sword, and behind him glows a dark blue shark silhouette. The red knight, upside-down, wields an axe and reaches away toward a glowing crystal. Behind him is the red silhouette of a bull. The title drips in the same bright red as his cape: THE CONSUMED.

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

In Donkey Kong 64, the Giant Spider miniboss can only be fought once. Modifying the game to fight it a second time makes it unceremoniously explode. While this appears to be a glitch, examining the code reveals it was actually deliberately added for the developers' own amusement.

I really pushed myself to draw this year, and draw a lot! It was another year of D&D-inspired card illustrations - more than 1/wk on average! Excited to wrap up this project and see what next year brings. #artvartist #artvartist2025

From left to right, top to bottom: a pile of glittering treasure, a sketch of a man leading a paper horse, my partner and our cat who we lost this year, a strange and spooky ritual, a merchant lounging with her wares, a catfolk cleric and her mechanical friend gazing at a rainbow, a gigantic winged leviathan, and a doodle of the goblin queen!
