So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

The earliest iteration of the menu from Outlaws. Initially a copypaste job from The Thing, the main menu box/colour/font quickly changed but the background art did not.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.
Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

RIP to the legendary @burgerbecky.bsky.social. Her accomplishments were as amazing as they were numerous, and I count myself lucky to have met her in person.
I also worked on the remaster of Killing Time, a game she was directly involved in. Hope our paths cross again Rebecca, wherever that may be.
