Can Scotland please annex the North east of England and take us with you so we can have some hope of the powers that be paying us literally any attention other than as a deprived spot to do racist rallies lol. 🥲

Today is the 2 year anniversary of Pacific Drive's release. I'm also in the thick of refining my GDC talk about it, which I was meant to give last year before I needed emergency surgery, so it's been on my mind a lot lately. Here's a long 🧵.

Hence some of the pitfalls of writing on the Internet, highly visible in e-mail, blogs, and responses to blogs. The mechanical ease and immediacy of electronic communication are deceptive. People write hurriedly, don't reread what they wrote, misread and are misread, get into quarrels, hurl insults, and use flame-throwers because they expect their writing to be understood as if they were talking. It's childish to assume people will understand unexpressed meanings. It's dangerous to confuse self-expression with communication.

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

I was thinking about what gifts people used to give to readers (besides gift editions of famous poets' work and illustrated histories of wars and such), and while I was thinking about it, somebody brought a book to the counter....

Oh crikey but Malcolm McDowell’s response when presented with a photo of him & William Shatner fighting on-screen in Star Trek Generations is priceless!

In particular, it got me really wondering about how far studio could (or already does?) go as a cultural praxis in existing spaces that might not even think of studio as a thing.
