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?"

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.

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

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.

Just putting this out there... I'm currently job hunting for a narrative design / game writing position. 5+ years of experience in interactive fiction, mobile games, and writing for a female audience. If anyone's looking for a writer (or editor, proofreader, etc.), let me know!

the mod: flawlessly executed code, adds whole new dimension to the game, bugs stamped out within hours, great compatibility.... the thumbnail:
rainbow gradient background with comic sans font in clashing colors that says "make things more better mod version 2.8 - new update!" with a badly stretched image of an anime girl gasping in the corner
