Give them a follow if you like free stuff and reading the cool things I write and all the other cool stuff my team writes :)

I wrote this! Our team is proud to call Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 our 2025 Game of the Year. Read on to see why. 😊

Come hang while i celebrate my 5 year Streamaversary AND compete with Team WatchUs for eternal glory in Peak!! Tomorrow at 2pm PST!

Off to TwitchCon tomorrow! Travel of any kind always brings me lots of anxiety, as well as being outside my comfort zone (ie my cozy house by myself) but I’m so excited to see my friends and connect with so many talented creators! And eat burritos, of course. See you there!?

It’s important that I follow up on this. Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes you finish the game. It changes your life. It rocks you to your core. It keeps you up at night. It reignites your passion for great stories and great art. Even if it’s been spoiled for you… play this fucking game.

Some people came into my stream tonight while I was playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and completely spoiled the game for me, on purpose. Why do people have to be so fucking shitty? I genuinely don’t get it. It costs nothing to be kind. Do I even finish the game now?

My FIRST EVER video essay will be dropping on YouTube this Tues, 3/24 at 4pm PST. After over 50 hours of writing, editing, recording, and compiling footage, I am SO proud of how it turned out. It would mean a lot to me if you could give it a watch and tell me what you think. Link to my YT in bio!

An update: Our class held a fundraiser on campus yesterday, a Super Smash Bros tournament. They raised over $500 that was split between the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Pasadena Humane Society. I am so very proud of them.

Every year in my class after we do our Halo study, I bring my Xbox and have my students compete to see who can survive the longest in the last mission of Halo: Reach, with the winner getting a gift card to the gaming platform of their choice. A young lad won by lasting 6.5 minutes. Impressive. 1/3

First day of class, I have my students introduce themselves/ their fav game. Tonight, one student tells me his favorite game is Halo 3, which he played when it came out. I say “oh wow, how cool!” And he replies, “Yeah! I was only 2, but it’s a classic!” I am so tired. And apparently, a fossil.

2024 has been Hell until now. Being unemployed, finally getting a job only to realize how toxic it was, being unemployed again, to finally finding the best job, rediscovering my passion to create, releasing my first book, & learning I’m becoming an auntie again. It gets better, I promise. Hold on. 💜

Tag four people, then name four games that you wish you could experience again for the first time. Let’s see em, @watchhollie.bsky.social @2nwolf.bsky.social @stcymsn.bsky.social @elliejoypanic.bsky.social !
