I’ve been working on a new Twine game series, and the first one is ready to be stared at by others. Here’s a link to The River. I’m finding the more games I make the more…
[note: this began life as an IM conversation, hence the occasional second voice] I hate Cameron’s writeup of Mattie’s work. Hate. The assertion that enthusiast or commercial games writing needs to be more academic…
Some notes: 1) See how it’s “ONE fatty’s guide” not “THE…” Everyone gets to be a special snowflake when it comes to their own lives. Just because I like doing Crossfit at my gym doesn’t…

Very brief post to point y’all to a small Twine game I made. There is reading and clicking and functional depression. (Is that even a thing? I’m making it a thing.) Enjoy, or don’t.
Where to begin. So I went to a conference-esque thing over the weekend. I’m not gonna get into any specifics about names/titles/locations, because that’s not the interesting part to me (although I’m sure if you’re…
I sometimes run into people on Twitter who could use some basic information for various subjects. I usually end up either quoting people my consulting rate if they want more of my time or telling…
Here, I did your homework for you. [wtf is ableist language?] Instead of retarded/herp derp/etc [why retarded is ableist] [why herp derp is ableist] bad uninteresting boring nonsensical not worthy of attention awful silly ridiculous…
I went here and clicked on “Report this project to Kickstarter” at the bottom of the page and selected “not a project”: — Per the Kickstarter FAQ: “Kickstarter is not a place for soliciting donations…

I’m in one of those phases where everything is so in flux, and so many projects are either not complete or not YET complete or I will never be able to talk about them because…
