- I’ve been playing a lot of Commander, mostly with a Chatterfang deck. For the unfamiliar - Chatterfang generates 1/1 squirrel tokens, which can attack, or be sacrificed for useful effects. I’ve been drawing my own squirrels mid-game to reflect the mood of their summoning. This started out normal
- I will pull a borderless Momo, Friendly Flier when the Avatar The Last Airbender MTG set comes out next week. First pack. It Will happen.

- Six weeks since Game Worlds opened - a lifetime, a millisecond. For so long, this show only existed to me, Bethan, and a handful of others, - and now it belongs to thousands of you as well. Thank you to everyone who has visited so far - the response has been unfathomable 💘✨ 📸: Matto Lucas
- This conversation with Maddy and Noel about the making, speedrunning & impact of Celeste was an absolute delight - one of the most interesting conversations about game dev, with genuinely two of the nicest people I've ever met. I'm going to be thinking about this one for ages ❤️

- Silksong is really amplifying my sorrow about the death of critical games culture. I’m so desperate for critical writing, personal reflection, cultural analysis, meandering vibe-based takes - anything other than reporting on sales. And I don’t even know where to read it, let alone pitch it myself
- ICYMI: During Silksong’s development, I spoke to Team Cherry about their creative process, and the worldbuilding of Pharloom 🪡🐞 You can it here now: www.acmi.net.au/stories-and-...

- Silksong is out today - and I am so excited to share my deep-dive into the game's development. I spoke with Team Cherry about Silksong's design, its origins, and the creative principles that drive their work. I'm thrilled to share it:
- Honestly? When Silksong comes out, I'll kinda miss this

- Haters: buying a return to ravnica (2012) magic the gathering booster box won’t fix you Me [completely fixed now]:
- I want this woman to put out a cigarette on me
- Now Dungeons & Dragons has well and truly entered the cultural zeitgeist, I'm excited to see what niche, nerdy thing hits the mainstream next. I want to see Riverdale doing a Magic: The Gathering episode
- Instagram close friends lists are so bizarre man. Someone I kind-of know makes me privy to a blow-by-blow of the dramatic breakdown of their most intimate relationship; as a sign of mutual respect I give them access to a sporadic selection of slightly off-putting memes
- NORCO is one of the best pieces of sci-fi in any medium that I've had the pleasure of experiencing - as well as one of the best indie games of the last few years. It's on sale for $7 right now, you'd be crazy not to buy it: store.steampowered.com/app/1221250/...
- You know, I should have made a bigger deal about being the one to share the first new Silksong content in three years. That's actually so crazy. What a privilege.
- God this rules. The will to resist is in your hands!!
- some news from me - I just sent my first professional neomail
- in a just world, i would be able to sleep in this bed every night
- 😇🪡🪲
