I'm gonna let you kids in on a secret: I don't design bosses to win fights against the player. I design them to lose *very convincingly.* It's like blackjack. I lose if I go way too far under, but I also lose if I go over.

Games: We are eliminating remote work because our employees report they are lonely and we strongly believe that collaboration is the key to our success. We must bring people together. Games employees: Ok let's all get together <forms union> Games: No, not like that...

What's it like to sleep at 9 months pregnant? Well, first of all, you have to sleep on your side. So it's like having a fully grown, wriggling infant laying right next to you in the bed - except she's wrapped in your skin.

@kryopic Interested in some of your faves :) one of my top 3 is "The Death and Return of Superman"

@candacerthomas The number of hours long videos deconstructing villains and what makes them so interesting in my YouTube history… if I didn’t already know this was a passion of yours (obviously) I’d feel targeted 😂

One day I want to do a deconstruction of villains and their motivations -Why some "mustache twirly" seeming plots are actually pretty common logical holes that humans fall into -Why Joker's "Kill the Batman" was so revolutionary and what it meant about him as an antagonist etc

maybe a GDC talk if I can swing the proper research and build a helpful framework...

Our first Prototype Milestone is complete!

👋 It's been a bit since you've heard from us and we can't wait to show you what we've been up to. If you want a sneak peak of Ghost in early prototype, check out the blog post below and celebrate finishing our first prototype milestone with us! fantasticpixelcastle.com/new-detail?id=…

@truffle With how many folks?

Finally trying valheim!

@KatyjustCANnot Lmao ☺️ 🍆

A regular ass banana at the Moscone center is $5. Oops, I grabbed two.

Whoever advocated for the Favorites menu in @UnrealEngine , you're the true MVP. Many thanks.

@unbentslinky Ooh, I love this enthusiasm! Unfortunately, we are still in prototype - which means we're answering foundational questions about the game and narrative. We are not quite yet establishing pipelines like art and voice acting! VO will come probably 1-2 years in the future :)

@candacerthomas I'm Casper, a voice actor from the US and I'd REALLY love to be a part of whatever it is you have your hands on. Is there someone I can speak to, and soon, about potentially making that happen?

Big hype. If you have questions here you can ask them and maybe I'll try to bring it up in my answers.

@darkrock It really was a lovely game, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@candacerthomas thank you for you recommendation on "Word on the Street" of the game "Arise: A Simple Story". Utterly beautiful on the Steam Deck, both visually, audio, and story. Like a mental massage to the brain. Good luck with Ghost, and hope to hear you on the podcast again.

@HamletEJ One can only hope they will. Because I am legit guaranteed to fuck this up

How can I just be expected to name a whole baby within 9 months? This is insane.

@thewileyside yeah but i only have to deal with that name for like 1 patch before i forget it until it breaks 2 expansions later

@candacerthomas candace you have named so many bosses just name the baby like those easy

Who decided that this was within my existing skill set
