the words "fired for making a video game" float amongst a blue sky dotted with small white clouds. The letters are multicoloured and the font is best described as "jaunty"

Tobey laid across my laptop and somehow crashed it.

I need to find this sweater. For reasons.

He is speaking to Detective Badd, a grizzled policeman wearing a jacket riddled with bullet holes. Edgeworth is saying "Detective Badd, don't tell me today is the day...?"

Too good to leave without alt-text

A black and white photo of Anthony Bourdain looking at the viewer with a slight, wry smile. Underneath is an edited version of the usual caption that now reads "once you've played BioShock 2, you'll never stop wanting to beat Ken Levine to death with your bare hands."

I didn't always know that I am nonbinary, but looking back... there were signs.

A photo of my 16 year old self, a masc-looking Caucasian teenager with slicked-back brown hair and wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt over a white t-shirt. My eyes have been lined dark and my lips bear a lovely shade of red lipstick.

"... he said he would call."

A modified screenshot from the game Ace Attorney Investigations: Mile Edgeworth. Miles, a tall white-haired prosecutor in a red suit, stands on an ornate bridge facing away from the viewer. He stares out at a boat containing Phoenix Wright, a dapper young defense attorney in a blue suit. Phoenix is having a good time with his assistant Maya Fey, and her young sister Pearl. Both women are wearing purple robes. Behind Miles stands Kay Faraday, a raven-haired thief with a large golden key in her hair. She is also facing away from the camera, suggesting she is aware of the pain Miles is feeling seeing is boyfriend play with others.

DLSS 5 off - DLSS 5 on Look, every technology has its limits.

A screenshot of I Get This Call Every Day depicting a poorly-drawn first person perspective of an office cubicle. A computer screen facing the player depicts a Social Insurance Number of 1112211 and the word "invalid" in bold red letters below. Beside the monitor and over the office phone is a portrait of Billy J Swarth, the caller. He appears slack-jawed and mulleted, holding an iPhone to his ear. I cannot emphasize enough how deliberately shitty the image is meant to look. Lines are jittery as though they have been hand-drawn in a digital image program by someone with a very unsteady hand.

A screenshot of an unreleased update of I Get This Call Every Day depicting a poorly-drawn first person perspective of an office cubicle. A computer screen facing the player depicts a Social Insurance Number of 1112233 and the word "override" in bold red letters. Below that, the computer has populated the information for one Billy J Swarth, detailing his name and address. Beside the monitor and over the office phone is a portrait of Billy J Swarth, the caller. He appears slack-jawed and mulleted, holding an iPhone to his ear. I cannot emphasize enough how deliberately shitty the image is meant to look. Lines are jittery as though they have been hand-drawn in a digital image program by someone with a very unsteady hand. Compared to the previous screenshot, the details are in a higher resolution, and there is more detail overall, while still maintaining a shitty aesthetic.

Don't I know it.

A screenshot of a header image from a Ralph Retort article about me, showing my discheveled wide-eyed face looking directly into the camera. The word "deranged" is underneath in bright red Impact font.

A selfie of me, bald-headed and bearded, wearing light eyeshadow and dark two-toned lipstick. I am wide-eyed looking downward in an expression conveying a loud inner scream of desperation.

Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of the release of I Get This Call Every Day. To "celebrate", this piece of shit is on sale for 69% off. Happy holidays. itch.io/s/176971/13-...

A modified screenshot from the game I Get This Call Every Day, depicting an office cubicle with a computer and telephone. There is a log on fire inside the monitor, billowing black smoke into the office. The face of Billy J Swarth floats in the air above the phone, licking a candy cane in a disturbing manner.

Fun fact: in 2010 I won a DLC code for this image as part of a contest for the game Fat Princess. I then used this image as the inspiration for a talk I gave at a Toronto game event celebrating enthusiast press, which is what I was doing as a side gig at the time.

a picture of myself, sat in a grassy area next to a tree, wearing a pink dress with black frills. I have short brown hair atop my head and no beard save for a small soul patch on my chin. I am holding a piece of vanilla cake with cherry filling and topped with a cherry. There is icing and another cherry on my face and nose, implying I have been messily eating the cake.
