"I see you're a stranger to this world too..." (2022 Repost)

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Hi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at [email protected], thanks!

I'm gonna be at this event with a Kittycat Couture demo! If you're in the Boston area, def stop by and check out everyone's art and games!!

someone on tumblr said it better than i could

imagining a grizzled hardboiled detective saying this while gripping some guy's lapels at a shady bar

truly devastating news: my favorite magazine is transitioning from bi-monthly issues to quarterly issues yes they will be bigger and better,,,and also hrmm, it always makes my day when i see one has come in the mail

sherveen was the most thoughtful lead i had in games when it came to balancing workload 🥹 v v happy to see @suduwana.bsky.social becoming more visible in the games labor movement in a time of crushing layoffs

I love being trans despite everything the world throws at us, and I love being a woman. Happy Pride. #blog #trans #pride

they’re still losin, dad

It's Disability Pride month next month, as well as the anniversary of the ADA, and the DOJ just issued a memo reinterpreting a long-standing right that disabled people have to live within their respective communities and homes. The memo gives states the green light to no longer fund these services.

i love cycling five miles in a day to come home and have five chocolate chip cookies and a Dr Pepper, as i DESERVE as the girl dinner icon of all time

joe and i have pranked each other for years with putting googly eyes on everything - my greatest hits are on the inside of his lamp and filling up an allergy pill bottle with them. this is his latest, in which I absolutely lost it on the train

:)

By next week, I expect to hear the pool has somehow created a portal to Hell

got caught cheering “Hello, my friends! Welcome back!” to the geese today by some folks staying at the hotels on this path. they giggled. the geese and i had a very lovely conversation for about ten minutes and they so sweetly honked and moved out of the walkway for me, as is tradition.

One more day to submit your games to the itch bundle benefitting the game industry hardship fund!! itch.io/jam/game-ind...

After delivering a successful GO Fest event in Chicago, my brief contract with Premier is coming to an end in July. I’m open to look for new roles in brand strategy and creator management, more permanent or contract as well!

look, i get that if you're eating beans and rice so you can afford to pay your own rent that it can irk you to see somebody else asking strangers to cover their rent in full every month, but maybe they literally have no other recourse? and maybe they shouldn't have to prove that to you?

to whom ever wrote the “I would never joke about my shoes” in the new Bond game, i fear you have seen me a bit too well. i have 10 pairs of the same shoe. i get it.

I appeared in a magazine! The December 2025 edition of the Percussive Notes magazine, presented by the Percussive Arts Society, featured a story on Dr. Marco Schirripa's @marcoschirripa.bsky.social PIXEL MASTERWORKS project, which I was absolutely honored to be a part of.

hello my fellow podcasters, Audacity is running a survey and as you'd expect, there are AI questions on there! Very leading questions, at that! Tell them you do not need AI baked into this useful recording/editing software! thank you! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Anyway I'm just going to say it outright: if you're an indie dev using AI for coding, above and beyond any other objections, what you're telling me is that you have no solidarity with anyone else in games. Not artists, not writers, not other coders. You beleive in personal convenience at all costs.

The thing about discussions of increasing the price of games to make dev more sustainable is that we still are getting quarter after quarter of record profits from major publishers so idk seems like the layoffs have very little to do with AAA pricing and a lot to do with business strategy

as i try to build out a small masc wardrobe for my “man with dangly earring who will ruin my life” days, there are two problems: i am a shoe person, apparently and also every pair of shoes i own are hyperfemme heels. this makes boy mode difficult OTL

i feel like my collarbone and shoulder need that “are you winning, son” meme, and the winning is when they’re actually in place (they’re losing so bad)

today is a day where i really fucking hate being disabled. my hip, shoulder and jaw all partially dislocated in my sleep. it is *very hard* knowing that i’m going to continue to have these issues and they will only get worse with time

i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one

For Pride Month, i wrote about Stop!! Hibari-kun, an accidentally trans-positive gag manga from the 1980s about a girl who serves sickening fish and her idiot boyfriend’s inability to chill out about it. @aftermath.site

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

let’s be honest here, if you aren’t thinking about exponential growth are you really contributing anything worthwhile to society?

It hurts poor areas when you demonize food choices without presenting affordable alternatives

Anyway that was awful. Let's agree to never do it again and wishing every game developer a

Special office meow-ssitant this morning
