In 2017 I took my writing career and turned it into a video game career. I was under a strict NDA that wouldn't let me post about my work on social media and so I ... kinda stopped using twitter. And now I'm a game dev more than a writer. But uh welcome to the rebrand 😅😅

when I get campaign spam that's like "[politician] VOTED ON THIS BILL TO MAKE ABORTION LEGAL" i can never tell if they're trying to convince me to vote for them or not. like... "and this is........ bad?"

honestly the fact that my work doesn't just write itself when I'm not looking is straight up rude

since everyone has cell phones now... do middle schoolers not do that thing where they're on the phone with their friend and they 3-way call their crush and their friend is all quiet while they ask their crush questions about them? does anyone know a teenager lol i need answers

every single time my period comes I'm like "whaaat how has it already been a month? no wayyy that's not right" my period: you literally have a calendar in front of you me: YEAH BUT IT'S LYING. I KNOW IT IS.

3 of 5 stars to Love, Laugh, Lich by Kate Prior

Jaylee James’s review of Love, Laugh, Lich

This book was very funny. It's set in a world like ours but with a "great evil one" as a CEO... Corporate culture with a disney villain twist. It was great. I think the background worldbuilding stuff...

anyway no one asked but I saw a discussion about this on steam weeks ago and it still bothers me lol

however 1 in 4 men and 1 in 3 women have experienced sexual assault. the reason it's "worse" is that 1 in 3.5 of your players have been a victim of the thing you are presenting for entertainment. it's not just theoretical for them, it's visceral, real, and painful.

the number of people who have actually been a witness or victim of murder, cannibalism, torture... is very very low. it's not zero, but if you were to walk into any given walmart and poll every person there, there's a high chance none of them have ever experienced/witnessed this

"why is it ok to have murder, cannibalism, torture, etc. in a video game but add in rape and it's suddenly not okay. aren't those things equally evil?" the issue is not about the 'badness' of the thing, it's about the possibility of your audience having experienced it.

I love watching kpop groups' videos because holy shit they can DANCE. All of them can dance!!! After that you watch American pop stars' videos and they're just like.... standing there. lmfaooo.

I'm basing this entirely on 2 scenes. Prince H: You always think everything is a threat. Which is why I'm still alive. 6-fingered man: *shy little smirk* And when they're outside the tree and he says his wish is his command with unnecessary hand kissing.

Did anyone else kinda think these two were a little gay for each other?

Website-based mmos? Idk what it would be called, but they are the same category

It just occurred to me that fallen London and neopets fall under the same like genre of game medium and that makes me giggle

Twitter increasing its character limit would be the easiest way to improve the quality of discourse (and thus thought) across our whole society. As it stand's it's a discussion platform that makes it almost structurally impossible to communicate nuanced ideas.

if you've ever tried to google a funny video and wound up reading someone's bizarre article describing the video and quoting youtube comments like they're important source material you have witnessed "content" writing at its most soulcrushing i mean finest

no i'm not bitter about my job hunt why do you ask

✨writer✨ However most of those jobs are writing ad copy (the chirpy descriptions of products online that make you cringe) and writing "content" which is where you make use of those "copy and paste lines from 5 sources and call it a report" skills you developed in school.
