You: The Wire is such an achievement of storytelling that speaks to the systemic failures of the United States. It is David Simon's greatest achievement.

Me: lol Richard Belzer is a gooning gamer. Thank you, David Simon.

In which I spew some broad thoughts about the very good, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. https://t.co/7l6mTukXiO

If you're leaving this shithole, just a reminder that I'm active on the other blue app under the same @. I'll continue to share my work here for the time being, but that's it.

It has taken me a year to get this done, but here is my Baldur's Gate video. It's a lengthy look into the pillars of the studio's design -- the Bioware formula-- in conjunction with critical analysis, historical documentation, and a dash of game studies. https://t.co/sORvMEa8oE

The best part of putting up a video that I've worked on for... many hours over the course of 12 months is that nagging feeling that I messed something up and it is now irreversible. Such an ideal state of mind.

Considering the state of this place, I'm only here to share my work every now and again. A better place to keep up with me is on Bsky with the same @.

Very cool and neat to see my Boku no Natsuyasumi piece appear here!

@the_stevem Looking forward to it! Been trying to dig up a lot of his lesser known stuff in the last few years and its been deeply rewarding.

[WordsMaybe @WordsMaybe]

Time to get real sad about overdevelopment and childhood nostalgia. Thanks, Boku no Natsuyasumi 2, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, and the state of New Jersey. https://t.co/2i3onjLndZ

@kalaelizabeth I've honestly not looked at much, waiting for it to launch. But what I've seen seems good and happy to see the wide reaction to the preview event be so positive.

[WordsMaybe @WordsMaybe]

Very funny though to see a lot of mainstream outlets go "reminds me of ME2 given the strong character focus." DA2 is right there and it did it better.

[WordsMaybe @WordsMaybe]

Largely not looking too hard at Veilguard details at this point but its nice to see that even the wider reception of the last preview event has been very positive.
