Morning Gang!
My name is Dan and I've been a host, producer, and editor for podcasts as well as a community driven streamer for the better part of 10 years. If you'd like to work together, email me at [email protected]
Thanks for your consideration!
NEW MERCH DROP!
The Danfinity Fandinity Club
The front sports a QR code that folks can scan to find my channels and the back has a DIY inspired design that I just couldn't stop iterating on. I just got hyper-focused on the fun on this one and hope it shows!
1️⃣OBS Studio — screen recording
2️⃣Davinci Resolve — video editing
3️⃣Affinity — graphics
That's all you need to get started on YouTube.
These will take you **very** far as a creator and they're all free.
So here we are.
Ghost's vet bills. And me. And an awful lot of art. I don't want to beg for help*, so instead I set up the shingle and I'm offering: take a look.
Please buy some art (or some stuff from the yard sale).

Twitch Streamers and Video Creators:
@thegameawards prep is happening now. Brands are building lists and campaigns. Agencies are spinning up emails to send holiday gifts, and next year, a metric ton of games will hit in early January.
Mid-size studios have smaller inboxes, real budgets and love when creators lean in. Stop focusing on just AAA.
They want creators who fit. Who are you trying to reach? 👇
These are the 3 games you should keep an eye on if you're at all mourning the loss of Mass Effect 👇
⚔️ STAR WARS: FATE OF THE OLD REPUBLIC
- Directed by Casey Hudson director of the original Mass Effect trilogy AND KOTOR
- Spiritual successor to KOTOR
- Single player action RPG where you play as a Force user
- Choices push your journey toward Light or Dark
- Narrative, memorable characters, and player agency are core pillars
- Being built by a team packed with former BioWare developers
🚀 EXODUS
- From Archetype Entertainment, founded by BioWare veterans
- James Ohlen + Mass Effect 1 & 2 lead writer Drew Karpyshyn
- Third person scifi action RPG
- Time Dilation means years or DECADES can pass while you're away, and you can return to see the consequences of your choices manifest
- Your decisions can reshape humanity across generations
- Squad commands, ability combos, tools, and real stealth
- Companions, romances, conflict, and difficult choices
- Paladin / Immortal morality system

🪐 THE EXPANSE: OSIRIS REBORN
- From Owlcat Games; the CRPG veterans behind Rogue Trader and Pathfinder
- Create an Earther, Martian, or Belter; which all impact gameplay and the narrative
- Third person cover combat with 2 active companions

- Deep builds, skill checks, and squad commands
- Your weapons, gadgets, and gear all have their own unique upgrade (skill) trees

- Your entire crew can contribute during missions, and your active crew can exploit the environment
- Earth, Mars and the Belt react to your actions
- Explore Ceres, Mars, Luna, Ganymede and more
- Takes place during the events of The Expanse
- Coming 2027
I've played both EXODUS and The Expanse, and the Mass Effect influence is impossible to miss.
They aren't exactly Mass Effect and they don't need to be.
I want to #SaveMassEffect so be sure to sign the petition. 📷https://t.co/EgdndGOh8x
But if you've been waiting for another cinematic sci-fi RPG filled with companions, choices, romances, power fantasies, and a crew you actually care about...
Here is some hope ❤️

WE ARE DELAYING @EmbervilleGame Early Access UNTIL JANUARY 7th, 2026!
We apologize for the delay in this (we were supposed to release into EA TOMORROW!) but we've decided that we need just a bit more time to cook the EA.
We got exceptionally close to our quality targets but there are just a few issues we need 100% fixed and solid before we turn this project over to you guys.
The demo will be staying up and we plan to give it some updates between now and then as well!
Thanks for understand, guys. We have a lot of plates spinning behind the scenes and we would have liked to have gotten this announcement out earlier! Lessons learned on many fronts.
But what this means is by January 7th, you'll be getting a freshly baked and delicious Emberville client. We'll see you then for the fun AND THANK YOU! 🥳
@A_dmg04 Assuming that the rollout won't be one dig dump of reissued content, what timeframe are we looking at for rollout? Doesn't need to be exact dates, but a broad window to help set expectations. Are we looking at 9 months? A year?
Hard to hear, but please please please buy Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 2! It's less than a Wolverine and you get so much gameplay! I have a review on my YouTube channel if you're curious before picking it up!
Support good game devs!
Aiming for a blog post this week to chat further about Bungie & D2 unvaulting.
Spending some time with Josh to talk process. Current target is Thursday. See you then!
If you're a fan of Dispatch, I cannot recommend ROCKBEASTS enough! Even though it gave me flashbacks to band life (both good and bad), the first three chapters were enough to get me hyped on this project coming out in January!
Go wishlist now:

We're honored to recognize @Humana for their incredible Day of Meals sponsorship and hands-on volunteer support. Last Friday, they covered the cost of a day's worth of meals, AND 5 team members volunteered to help prepare those meals.
