It has been a really rough day and I appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone. The amazing @stevesaylor.net once said something like "every company should have an Elisabeth," and now is your company's chance! I'm on the job market after layoffs and looking for my next role.

Working in games means learning one lesson over and over. You can do everything right… and still end up updating your LinkedIn.

I’ve entered in the state of profound grief over all the life I’m missing as a disabled person. Observing from the sidelines people going on adventures I planned to explore, sitting on the porch instead of frolicking in the sun. But, this too shall pass, and till then, I keep smelling wild flowers.

Physical games are - ownership - preservation - lending a game to a friend years later - knowing your game is still there, even if a server, storefront, or license disappears

Horrors persist, and so do I

Disability has changed my life, but it hasn’t taken away my capacity or capability for joy. Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth to everyone finding their own way through grief, growth, and happiness. ❤️❤️ Love you! ☮️

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

Found my old diary. Those really were more simple times. 11 August, 1988. I’ve eaten onion.

weekend wasn’t too bad

I am looking for new disabled voices to help give opportunities to them for their early speaking engagements!

I love seeing women supporting women through thick and thin. Weird thing to say? I wish guys did it just as much. Those reaching out to us, you're the exceptions, thank you so much.

The internet has some problems but getting to read/listen to everyone's articles, blogs and talks on game craft is actually amazing.

A first look at the concept art style for our character portraits. Meet Rashid, whose mischievous expression hints at someone who enjoys a challenge, Rayhana 🏺, Faris, and an early concept for the auntie character (name still being finalized). #gamedev #indiedev #uiux #alsirah #workinprogress

I have a chronic nervous system dysfunction and please believe me when I say you do want to try and do everything in your power to prevent any further issues if stress starts to affect your body. Put yourself first, put your health first.

One of the best advices I got when starting my career was “do not expect to be rewarded for the extra work you put in, or the extra discomfort you cause to yourself — you only get more more tasks on your shoulders and none to little thanks”. I thought it sounded dire but oh boy isn’t that the truth.

Happy to be back as a judge at the DevGAMM Awards! Last year me and other 150+ experts reviewed 610 games from 69 countries. Such a great experience, and I’m grateful to see all the folks boldly contributing to the industry, especially now that times aren't the easiest. <cont>

If being mean to yourself worked, it would’ve worked by now don’t you think?

Well, well, well… if this isn't the bridge l said I'd cross when I came to it.

I'm looking for feedback: Without looking at the website, how would you describe what Take This does? 'I have no idea' is a valid answer as well. I'm trying to get a picture of how people see us as an org.

Business development in games isn’t about pitching left and right. It’s listening, spotting opportunities, building relationships before you desperately need them. Respecting your peers. Most deals don’t start with a pitch deck. They start with trust, which you have to earn by showing you care.
