Not directly gaming-related but hella gaming adjacent. Satine Phoenix (Ex D&D Community Manager) and Stone Jamieson (Was literally who to me but has apparently produced a bunch of products before/with Satine), who these days seem to make a lot of their money by being influencers in the hobby and people paying to play in games with them have been exposed for being lovely people. tl;dr they hosed over a tattoo artist they'd hired and made a lot of threats to him, said tattoo artist was also wanting to get more into the hobby professionally. thread https://twitter.com/nerdytattooer/status/1534402018751590400 PST fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jun 8, 2022 |

Yeah... I am so pissed after reading that. Who talks to people like this? gently caress that Jamison guy and Satine too. In what universe is anything like that okay? Remember how Satine was buddies with Zak and never really walked that back at all? Remember how weird and incongruous that may have seemed at the time?

From what he said he was wanting to break into the industry in some way and felt that not aceding to their demands could be harmful for his career. Which is, of course, why they were doing it because that's what toxic abusive people do. But yeah, given he'd had Post Malone as a happy customer, saying 'gently caress you' to them and the hobby would have been entirely understandable.

Maybe I'm reading into it, but demanding a written formal apology seems like a legal CYA for when you defame them, refuse to pay what you owe, etc.
