Originally this tweet was about a pig and sausages, but decided to make it vegetarian. Considered a vegan option but felt like the clarity of the joke would be diminished. This has been another installment of James Explains His Unpopular Tweet

Looking at an half-dozen eggs mixed in a bowl, wondering why it does not look like a cake yet. Bakers must have lost the plot.

Absolutely brain-poisoned into wanting to tweet constantly about all the interesting work stuff I’m doing just for a little hit of validation. Do I need to hold myself accountable for this or can I get away with blaming society?

Wayward Strand is a very nice game about the unique childhood experience of going to work with a parent and stepping into another world for a few days - just long enough to start to understand its rules, not long enough to become a citizen. Great stuff.

Games news sites, I love you, but you have to know that you are allowed to have a “do not report on unsubstantiated rumours as though they are regular news” clause. Treat yourself. Everything will be okay.

A game I worked on is now available worldwide! I came in late so the first episode I wrote is fairly deep into the launch build but the narrative team on this is extremely talented and everything is very good

Very into everything they’re showing of this new Fire Emblem
Wonderful older group of viewers at the back of the cinema that sat in silence throughout the credits and then left talking about how much they loved it

Everyone will remember where they were when they saw like 10 tweets that made it sound like the Queen was dead and then they did a search and learned that she was not dead but then became trapped on Twitter trying to parse the vibe

Re-read the first 9 volumes of Saga over the last five-or-so days to get me up to date before the next trade paperback. Two thoughts:
1. Saga good
2. Probably for the best if no one ever tries to adapt Saga

If Twitter was just people reacting to Immortality for the rest of the year that would suit me just fine
