Hello! My name is Josh Sawyer. I’m a video game writer, designer, and director active in the RPG genre. I directed Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2, and Pentiment.

Selfie of me. I’m a middle aged white man with graying brown hair and brown eyes. Standing in front of two posters: one for an art exhibit in Vienna, the other for the video game Pentiment.

Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

I watching S2 E22 of Law and Order (“The Working Stiff”) with Eli Wallach as the guest star. He’s so good it’s crazy. What a talent.

my hatchback is 21 years old now so there's a lot of wonderful discovered work when it goes to the shop and also a lot of the parts are no longer made so sometimes i have to wait a month for a fix or they just say, "yeah this just won't work anymore lol"

I don't make playlists but I definitely wind up listening to one specific artist a lot while writing. On F:NV it was Mogwai. On Pentiment it was Lingua Ignota.

Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:
