LOOK THAT’S ME IN THE BORDERLANDS 4 CREDITS AHHHHHH

Borderlands 4 is in players' hands and I am honestly too overwhelmed by the enormity of it all to take it in. If you're playing or planning to play, thank you.

I got laid off from Firaxis today. I helped ship Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC and Civilization VII, and would love to talk to you about mid level Producer roles.

Hey y'all- I was impacted by the layoffs at Firaxis this morning. If you or anyone you know needs a mid to senior level materials artist that has experience in building material libraries, lighting, 2D art, and props I'm your girl!https://www.artstation.com/daniellazeman

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

We're going to PAX West! Join our guests Jerry Holkins, Mike Krahulik, Ify Nwadiwe, Bill Amend, Kris Straub, Jasmine Bhullar, Anna Prosser, Kate Welch, and Sam Winkler as they play Party Pack 11! Read more on our blog! 🔗 https://jbgm.es/3JSCVid

you should all know that I was drinking the panera death lemonade for the entirety of my time working on Borderlands 4. every line I wrote was fueled by Lemonade That Kills You

No refunds. No survivors. 💜 See how Vex – one of our new Vault Hunters in Borderlands 4 – got her Siren powers in the Purple Friday short. 🧠✨ youtu.be/BzgZvUMgtSs?...

After about 2 years my strange clockwork-cosmic-horror-narrative-card/boardgame Is released! Proud of this one, hope it does well enough for me to keep exploring this unique and exciting avenue of game dev.

Elon Musk streaming POE 2 on his private plane while listening to “The Final Countdown” and everyone in the in-game chat is whispering him to kill himself. Now that’s cool.

Went into a game store the other day and the clerk handed my daughter a pack of Pokémon cards, then looked me in the eye and said “first one’s free” in a voice that was not his, one older than the forests

Dipping back into coding for a personal project and my brain is fully deep fried just from making a clickable circle that makes a number go up.

I regret to inform the council that the new Late Nite Jalapeño Popper Doritos absolutely bang off the chain. Right off, chainwise. The banging is nowhere near the chain. Completely off. The chain has been banged in totality. Imagine, if you will, a chain, and now imagine it ba
