I haven't had work in months.
I'm a good art director, expert pixel artist, and although I prefer to do art, I can also make entire games from start to finish if necessary, as pictured. Not the greatest coder, but I get the job done (like Chapell Roan I guess).
please share
I'm so sad the sequels never quite captures "kung fu operator" like the original did
It's one of those games that I often think "is this one of my favorites" and then every time I so much as think about it I play at least half an hour
My #my9games changes a lot but this is how I'm feelin' these days. MGS2, Morrowind, and MvC2 are always my mainstays, though
I have been privately crashing out for the better part of two months and finally starting to feel a bit of an upswing, trying to resist the urge to use my newfound energy to re (over) commit myself to many things and instead continue to rest up.
Being an American is so embarrassing dude some suits at my job wanted to save a few bucks so now I have to explain to a robot what insurance is so I don't go even more insane and lose my therapist
I think there's a lot of new mechanical expression in here that the game deliberately hides from you for the sake of keeping tension, but I can also understand that rubbing the wrong way. I think the Speedrun tech for this game is gonna be incredible
Of course! Wishing you best of luck.
If you have a writing job to fill, you'd be a real silly goose not to hire Ashley!
'Few games capture the spirit of indie game development quite like VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. What initially started out as a short game for a Cyberpunk Game Jam back in 2014, soon became a standout indie hit. VA-11 Hall-A delivers a heartfelt story of happiness in the depths of disaster, draped in a unique cyberpunk aesthetic and set to a distinctive synthwave soundtrack to match. It’s a truly remarkable visual novel, and the perfect choice for our Design Works range. Produced in collaboration with Sukeban Games and Ysbryd, VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works explores the corrupt metropolis of Glitch City, its culture, and the people who frequent the game’s beloved hole in the wall, VA-11 Hall-A. Written by talented journalist and author Ashley Schofield (Polygon, EDGE, Unwinnable and VGC), you’ll hear how this world came to be and the cyberpunk touchstones that inspired it — all the while lending insight into the history of Venezuela, where the team is located, and the unique challenges of developing a game there. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works will be a celebration of this beautiful indie masterpiece, and the people that made it all possible. Alongside contemporary interviews with writer/programmer Fernando Damas and artist/designer Christopher Ortiz conducted exclusively for VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works, the book also features a collection of highlights from the ‘Daily VA-11 Hall-A’ blog posts directly from Sukeban.moe. You can also expect deep dives into the development of the game’s prototype and prologue; the bartending mechanics that put you in the shoes of disaster bisexual bartender Jill Stingray, and interviews exploring its iconic synthwave soundtrack/jukebox with composer Michael Kelly. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works features detailed insight into the game’s early concepts and development, an exploration of Glitch City itself, and a deep dive into the programming, art and soundtrack — an unmissable read for any fan.'
A magazine cover of Unwinnable Monthly #191, with the feature being my essay 'I Don't Want To Be This Kind of Animal Anymore' and art by Shafer Brown. An excerpt reads: In the dark times, should the stars also go out? 'Revachol is still. Silent. Decades of unrest, corruption and capital gain have reduced it to a shell of a city. And yet, under these sullen skies, a miracle is happening. The limbed and headed machine of pain and undignified suffering is firing up again.'
My review of Hollow Knight: Silksong for Video Games Chronicle. 'Hollow Knight: Silksong review: A game that intends to make you suffer, even to its own detriment. Team Cherry’s sequel has a clear mission statement, but doesn’t seem to consider the consequences. 3/5 stars.'

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU
Dude I'm SAYIN'. There's so much I love about Marathon and nearly all of it goes out the window when I'm shot in the back and teabagged by xX0N3Sh0TXx while I'm trying to hang out with my buddies!
I have gotten a distaste for competitive multiplayer games with strangers as I've gotten older because rarely do online games cultivate an atmosphere of healthy sport/competition, and I no longer have the patience to shrug off nerds with complexes exacting domination fantasies.
Also hello Leon Kennedy
on a lighter note, RE9 absolutely owns so far. It's the kind of slop that feels made for me specifically
If I can be honest I'm coming a bit untethered. All the cruelty feels too much to bear sometimes. I am trying not to give in to despair but I also refuse to harden my heart.
My job responsibilities have recently changed in way that I have to use a ticketing system for the first time in ~ 5 years and lemme tell you I didn't miss this at all, especially not the way that most men behave when submitting any kind of support ticket.
It's wild how the only appropriate response to basically every news story now is illegal.

Marathon is pretty slick but I unfortunately am constantly thinking "I wish I wasn't dealing with other people right now!" while playing it

Also been really into The Femcels, which reminds me of +LET'S DISINFECT!+ but covered in ironic bedazzling and Lisa Frank stickers. It's goofy and silly but also has a core of deep melancholy. Like discovering the kinda annoying person at your school is very not OK.
