I'm FINALLY sorting out my NZ accommodation. From hotels to hostels to a lovely couple's home in the mountains. It's going to be one hell of a trip.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

This didn't even show up anywhere on my timeline, I'm pretty sure. Wonder if it's because the delay pushed any other news aside.

We've got the beta coming up soon and I might actually give it a proper go since the game could release right before I'm off to New Zealand 😭

Can someone feel survivor's guilt watching their friends (and just a lot of people in general) get laid off in this industry? Because I swear I'm feeling it sometimes.
It's not fair, man.

I look forward to having a blood elf warlock and people trying to tell me I can't be one, then point at something as 'proof' that says nothing about fel or warlocks being illegal.
I want some of these people to point to me where it says all these things. Or that random civilians get killed for it.

Thank you all so much for auditioning for this role, honestly I've been pretty overwhelmed by the response. It was no easy task to select from such a large pool, but I have made my choice, and I am stoked to announce that Kedari will be voiced by the incredible Lena de Jong (@dawnglyph.bsky.social)!

As a writer also in a field with a very high exec/top brass presence in the creative process, I can guarantee you that in 99% of cases, if the writing feels like you're repetitively being spoon fed plot and exposition, it's a directive from on high and not what the writer would do if left alone.
Before I made any assumptions, I went and read the Pc Gamer piece that is "ragging" on Veilguard.
Summary: It's not. It speaks of a phenomenon in some games of chewing out information, which Veilguard DOES do, and correctly assigns the responsibility of it to the top brass.

We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them
Let me get lost, I promise it's okay.
