About the Researcher
Hello! I'm Chief Archivist Justin Cummings. I'm a writer, game developer, illustrator, TTRPG creator, and aspiring iconoclastic firebrand. My credits in the video game industry include titles like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Aether & Iron, and BioShock.
As the founder and sole member of the Bad Idea Institute, my regrettable lack of creative excellence is the fuel lighting its ever-burning beacons of mediocrity.
About the Institute
The Bad Idea Institute was founded on the World Wide Web as an exhaustive archive of one man's terrible professional and personal projects.
Every element of this site, from the assets to the underlying HTML, was handcrafted by me, Justin Cummings, without the use of generative AI. Click around to explore samples of my writing, 3D illustrations, and more!
Dedicated to creative discovery through woeful miscalculation since 1989, the Institute remains a trusted worldwide portal to Really Dumb Stuff.
A collective of one... an inspiration to none.
