a momentary break from new york tourism for a trend
yakuza 0 and disco...
Shelves of books at Leaves bookstore in Brooklyn. Center stage are categories reading 'sex and erotica', 'women's studies' and 'labor and activism.'
Mik in Leaves. Probably looking for Infinite Jest (they don't have it. Heartbreaking.)

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you
asking too much sorry
i personally think it would be really cool if convention panels about Independent Games Media actually had diversity in Independent Games Media rather than the same few popular sites rotating speakers. real βtriple-Iβ indie hours

If youβre wondering what you can do, as many have asked: I know many are looking for a place to aim mean posts at them or whatever. Itβs pointless. The real and much less id-focused answer is I need to find more work. So if you hear of any narrative design/game writing openings somehow, let me know.

oh yea? how many times have you sent a paypal payment to someone's deadname?
i'm so sorry π

i would rather mercurysteam make anything else. i would be happier with a castlevania game
truly unsure what 'action first, slick' means here. it's super metroid!!! it's fucking slick!!!

A screenshot from the opening of Yakuza 0. Kiryu stands tall, imposing, over a terrified salaryman. For once, he actually looks and acts like a criminal. You know, a yakuza. Don't get used to it.

it's actually been a while
hey i mean i'd be happy to make you more powerful. that's a net good
