Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me.
When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.
This project is fascinating to me—an excellent book and it began with an open call, not an exclusive curation mandate. A grab bag of tons of writers from different backgrounds who saw the call and responded with whatever insight was meaningful to them. And it works! I like the essay I wrote for it.

I know you've been singing its praises for a long time but I recently ran my first session of Mothership and it's so damn good.
Can't wait to play again AND I think you just game me an idea for the setup.
If the judgement is 'it's awesome' then it's allowed 😂
Thank you!

So much this. I'm currently making a thing in Godot and I love the engine but my flow for implementing narrative is ridiculous:
I write in Scrivener, then put it in a spreadsheet. I created a simple CSV parser that then imports the spreadsheet into Godot.
It's so inefficient.
BREAKING:
The Irish government condemns in the strongest possible terms the people asking them difficult questions which could end up forcing them to take a position on current global events
Fact
Can't stop laughing at a story my friend told me yesterday about going to meet a work contact at the gates of Trinity. He went up to another waiting man and said "Are you Michael?" "Yes" "Will we go for a coffee?" "Sure." Over a coffee he realises it's not the Michael he's meant to be meeting.

Imagine stratagems are only activated on unit death and friendly fire is on. So you're shooting your own units in the back to trigger powerful stratagems but it has a big chance of backfiring and you wiping out your own squad Worms Armageddon style.
Great to see Chrono Cross's stories of environmental destruction analysed in 2026. Good read from @samuelhowitt.bsky.social
It sort of flew under the radar how much the old Squaresoft had a lot to say about climate crisis between FF7, Chrono Trigger, and Cross.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
