📌'd post
Currently writing queer speculative fiction novels and doing level & campaign design direction on Arkane Lyon's next game. I've done LD work on every Dishonored and given lectures or panels at 16 games industry events. I make great coffee. Also, very gay.

FUN SPACE FACT: nasa wants to do a long term mission with all women, not because they want to prevent sexual relations but because they wanna send lesbians to space

Extremely reasonable valid and understandable for me to be this depressed tonight

Dana, 🌒 Night & Gale 🌬️ @danaenight.bsky.social · 1d

Completely unreasonable for me to feel this depressed today. [Note to self: add joke here to make it seem like I'm not really in that much distress] [Note to Note: No]. [Note to Note to Note: And yet.]

Bad pizza is like bad sex.
Partaking should be halted immediately and other options considered.

The search for a new best pizza place has not been going well

Dana, 🌒 Night & Gale 🌬️ @danaenight.bsky.social · 5d

My favorite bar stopped serving the best pizza on their menu and the best pizzeria in the city shut down.

Sad day for pizza in Lyon.

being anti-authoritarian extends to corporations with more global influence than most nation states btw

I'm not even entirely joking. I am disturbed and distracted by the sensation of anything touching my right ear.

Yes just the right one.

Reasonably sure people only use the phrase "use case" when they're pretending something isn't useless

I'm holding a NaNoWriMo event in my narrative discord again this year, and I'm seeking prizes for the winners' raffle. I'm chipping in a book and game, but more prizes are needed. If you have any work (books, games, papers, etc.) you'd be willing to donate, please let me know. Thank you!

Frantically scrawling "CAT ASSASSIN GAME FROM DAVE BAUTISTA AND STRAY WRITER IS THE START OF A NEW NEO-NOIR MULTIMEDIA FRANCHISE" on the padded walls of my cell

A screenshot of an Instagram post from Game Rant. There is a render of a 3d/cgi cat character and a photo of Dave Bautista. The text reads "CAT ASSASSIN GAME

START OF A NEW NEO-NOIR
