I'm super-chuffed and stoked and raring to go!
BSKY (Pronounced "Bwhiskey", as the drink, I assume) is my new home. That other place got too weird.
I'm taking my nonsense, and my adventures in Video Game Consultancy (often the same) here to this new fresh site. Yay!

Isobel Hadley-Kamptz: Friskolor ger barn en sämre utbildning – och vi bara accepterar det
De som gått i friskolor klarar sig sämre på högskolan och har det svårare på arbetsmarknaden. Hur länge ska vi acceptera det? skriver Isobel Hadley-Kamptz.

If you, like me, are a fiend for deductive narrative games (Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, etc) then you must check out the tremendous The Seance of Blake Manor (out today), which has become one of my favorite games of 2025. Only caveat is that I ran into a few nasty bugs www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATH_...

Teen Vogue has had more guts to dissect and expose the truth when so many veteran media outlets have bent their knees to a criminal despot and his regime and this news is absolutely appalling and unacceptable
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This was , quite literally, how I got my first AAA job at Ion Storm Dallas (lunch interview):
Lee Dotson: ”Should we ask him some real questions, like what is BSP?”
Squirrel: ”Nah. Everyone knows that”
Jake Hughes: What did you think of the movie Armageddon?”
Me: ”Awful”
”You’re hired!”

It’s funny now but at the time I was like, whoa, this is an actual job interview? In Hollywood we just shoot the shit, talk about movies we like until someone goes, ‘so we doing this?’
