I keep getting ads for Marathon that say it's "from the creators of Halo and Destiny," but weirdly doesn't add "and also some artists who didn't consent to their work being used."

As a person who has always used (some would say overused) emdashes a lot, I do not enjoy the new constant anxiety that people will assume I’m using AI for even casual communications.

I'm pretty terrible at remembering to self-promote, but a new Arkham Horror RPG book I wrote for has been announced!

I wonder if they ever caught the Domino City serial killer who ran amok right before children’s card games took over the world.

Conversation came up around a gaming table yesterday about only seeing part 1 of a 2-part TV episode as a kid because of just never being able to catch part 2 airing, and how this is a struggle that probably seems totally alien to kids these days.

If I could make something official using any Nintendo property of my choice, I’d choose Star Fox and it isn’t close.

I have writing and other work I should do, or at least games to play, but I would rather obliquely quote Babylon 5 on the internet all day.

What’s it like to have a brain that functions as intended?

i'm still injured and unavailable for any short-term projects, but if you're an art director looking to expand your roster of creatives for anything in Q3-Q4 of 2026, i'm your guy! #portfolioday

Okay. I need a boost here.

Looking for artists.

We're talking about some potential comic book style art and/or concept art for the #iHunt film. We're privately funding development, so budget isn't Hollywood.

I want queer and/or nonwhite artists. I want cool styles.

Iβ€˜m still figuring this out myself.

I’ve had some success using a journal where I can write down my daily goals (ideally broken down into chunks that can be accomplished in a few hours tops each) and then bubble in progress as I make it, like I’m building a heckin World of Darkness character.

Dear Google,

When I Google the term β€œpalisade,” by itself, I promise I want to know about the fortification, not the Hyundai. Just give me Wikipedia.

As someone who had a lot of those Playmates Star Trek ships as a kid, and as someone who has a lot of models of Star Trek ships as an adult, Scholastic really missed a merch opportunity not making a 1:1 scale Helmacron ship.

I was so psyched about the new Divinity. Was.

I doubt my opinion matters to @larianstudios.com but I’m not interested in a product made in the way that has been described, for a variety of reasons.

With almost a month now to chew on Wicked: For Good, I think the biggest missed opportunity of these film adaptations is the total lack of any meaningful comment on the gold standard. It’s like they don’t even have opinions on William Jennings Bryan!

(Please keep post-season 1 spoilers in replies to a minimum. I’ve seen the whole show but not all have.)

Anyway, B5 is a good show and you should go watch it it you haven’t. Season 1 can be a tough watch at times if you aren’t into the vibe, the dated effects, and the stilted acting, but honestly I think it’s an easier watch than, say, TNG season 1. And some of B5’s stories are sadly relevant today.

After O’Hare’s death in 2012, B5 creator J. Michael Straczynski revealed that O’Hare had been experiencing worsening mental illness during that first season, a fact that they’d agreed to keep private until after his death. O’Hare wanted the fans to know eventually.

I was surprisingly sad to see O’Hare depart the show between seasons. I remember, the first time I watched B5, being relieved.

Of course, that was back when the reason for his departure wasn’t publicly known.

But I really remember Michael O’Hare, as Commander Sinclair, being the weakest link, and he was far from it. He’s not Patrick Stewart or Avery Brooks or anything, but he was fine. Sometimes really good!

(Next skeet has spoilers for early season 2 so…)
