I’m super proud of this little lore tab 🙂‍↕️ I love putting this little freak in a jar and shaking him around ✨
Great so now if I cosplay Bael, I’m gonna have to rip my nose off.

Happy Renegades Day to all who celebrate! 💫 I’m truly so proud of the work we did on this one and haven’t been this personally excited for something I’ve worked on to come out in a long time. The day is finally here! ❤️

Hubs and I wanted to go to the movies. Knives Out was sold out so we saw Rental Family instead. Reader, we got the better deal.

Every “this 90s video game soundtrack did NOT have to go this hard” video essay fails to note President Clinton’s pledge that by the end of the decade, America would create a video game soundtrack that “goes extremely hard”

Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

Really curious if whoever selected the TGA nominees actually played South of Midnight because if they had, it wouldn’t have only been nominated for “Games for Impact.” Which imo that category in itself is just another performative copout but hey what do I know 🤷

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

One final Witching Season announcement....

AMBER BENSON from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER will be writing a foreword for our anthology!

We are so thrilled to have one of our favorite witches (Tara 😭) contribute to this book.

This truly means the world to me 💜

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
