I’m Nessa! I’m a video game writer/narrative designer with 6+ years of freelance experience on 10+ shipped titles, including Borderlands 4 and Star Wars: Galactic Racer ✨
I’m looking for new projects, so if you need help with narrative, get in touch!

The pursuit of photorealism for its own sake is stupid, and has been stupid for years, and I would say has even been relatively attainable for years without any of this, which is why zoomers are consistently blindsided by how good select screenshots of some 7th gen games look.

Honestly this is probably correct, and that's what makes me so frustrated. It's going to be normalized the same as the last 5+ years of dumb bullshit in graphics tech, which is only just starting to provide a semblance of improvement for the massive resources it demands.

i wrote a big breakdown on why this sucks but ended up deleting it because we all have eyes 👎

everything about this is a betrayal of these game’s artistry. painting over hand crafted intentional 3d art with shiny, wrinkly, sunken-in, porous, puckered, fraudulent filtered nonsense is deeply disrespectful. if you want this just watch gen-ai videos all day

Today's a big day as the game I've worked on the last 4 years finally sees daylight. I've put so much time, tears, and effort into this project, and couldn't be more proud of what this team of heavy-hitters has accomplished. Watch for yourself: twitch.tv/directory/category…

you can explain most weird AAA game business decisions with the "WoW problem". "The average MMO makes 500 million dollars" when that is 99% WoW, so investors go "we want an MMO" not realizing the market was for WoW and not "any mmo". first noticed back when WoW was dominant

I'm not seeing a fraction of the engagement that I used to have with even a 10th of the follower count.
It's 100% because of my posts about Palestine.
Social media is complicit in genocide.

Why do some games just keep selling, years after release?
I tried to figure it out, and found some crazy charts along the way.

It's settled, Marvel's MIDNIGHT SUNS is my favorite recent video game, AND the best use of Marvel lore in a game in ages.
I barely knew a couple of these characters and now I'm a fan.
I BELIEVE the base game is free on steam this weekend, maybe?
JUST GET IT.

ADHD fucking sucks I boot up a single player game I know I'll enjoy playing and the entire time my mind is fighting a constant battle to not put it down and waste time doing literally nothing instead
