I did a fun lecture on what the different parts of a creative story engine are (with a focus on games, but could be broadly applied to books, shows, etc) out at DigiPen today, and though it went well, I was also reminded that my narrative touchstones are increasingly different than The Youth's.

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

This is truly upsetting. Teen Vogue's political work has been top notch.
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.

My daughter is home sick and has somehow discovered the Goosebumps TV series from 1995 so we are going down that time warp together.

Went to one of the KPop Demon Hunters sing-alongs and it was pure joy. The kids all went to the front of the screen in the credits and erupted into dance.

The fact the Blue Jay's have the chance to win the world series on Halloween is *chef kiss*

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

you know I've fully lost the plot when I'm like "bro, you gotta trust me, you have to buy this game because of the sound design."

but no, seriously.
We are asking people to play Saturnalia because it gave us terror goosebumps before we left the main menu and deserves that more people succumb to it. Also it's like $4 with the current Steam sale, so what is there to lose besides your dwindling sanity?
Saturnalia is a deeply scary game you should give a try for Halloween

I am so flabbergasted & tearful & grateful & JUST REALLY EMOTIONAL over everything that’s happened around this so-special pup since this saga started on…good god, how was it only Wednesday morning?

That it has meant as much to so many of you fills me up to the brim.

Oh look, another day full of the consequences of a finance/tech company thinking video games would be easy money, have no idea how to make video games, blame their developers for predictable failures, and give up on it and shatter many people's lives.

I'm safe, but the majority of the team I manage has been impacted.

If you've got any openings for some amazingly talented games user researchers, please let me know! I have folks to recommend at most experience levels.
