Here at #gamescom I see so many countries supporting their game developers with amazing booths, financial support, and visibility. It’s so sad that we don’t have a US organization who is supporting smaller developers with the logistics, promotion, and funding we need to succeed.

On my run this AM, 3/4 of the way in, I tripped, did my best flying squirrel, and landed on a bunch of gravel, giving myself some nasty cuts. Hello, 5 stitches, tetanus shot and antibiotics. But mostly I’m just salty that my W7D2 C25K run was interrupted before I could complete it and log my time.

I started Couch to 5 K again (I’ve done it many times, most recently in 2023). Today was week 5, day 3. IYKYK. Friends, I ran the whole damn 20 minutes without stopping at an 12:30 pace. This from the girl who couldn’t run a mile in under 12 minutes growing up.

You step into the forest. The air hums with magic. Despite the warm sun, a mantle of mist prevents you from seeing too far ahead. What would you expect — or hope — to find beyond the twisted tree? 🍃 Early concept art from our team! #DragonSnacksGames #IndieGameDev #FantasyForest #IndieGames

My latest obsession.

These are freaking adorable and I now have a new definition of company success: have a branded Wooble. @thewoobles.bsky.social thewoobles.com/collections/...

We just had such a great meal at Copine. Special shout out to their non-alcoholic beverage pairing, a great accompaniment to exceptional food.

I really want a Gestral stuffy.

This is the level of petty I aspire to be Harvard’s response to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is the evolved form of “your vs you’re”

My daughter is home for the summer, and she brought her cat.

Expedition 33 is so damn beautiful.

Why do kids hate going to bed? Why? WHY????

In addition to being an excellent cofounder and CTO, Nemco runs a great daily standup. Dad jokes optional.

I found room 46.

One of the best parts of my Dragon Snacks adventure has been working with my awesome cofounders. Read more here!

Now more than ever, we need to lift each other up. We need to create and collaborate with the people who matter most to us. We’re building a company to do just that.

Very excited to share our vision for making creative, collaborative spaces for players to connect to those who matter most. venturebeat.com/games/dragon...

We announced @dragonsnacksgames.bsky.social today! We’re building a new way for people to create, collaborate, and connect to those who matter most to them. If this sounds like your thing, visit www.dragonsnacksgames.com.

I love this article (and wish I had a Debi Young in my life). Everyone can make a difference by bringing their kindness and empathy with them through the world. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/a...

This game is exactly what I crave right now. Can’t wait for its launch, we all need more adorable pets in our life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQJc...

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Thank you Val Kilmer for some of my best movie memories.

April is National Donate Life Month, and every day I’m grateful that two people chose to donate the organs that keep my husband happy and healthy. Please consider being an organ donor if you aren’t already registered. careinfo.mayoclinic.org/organ-donation

Hey @ubisoft.com please give that Assassins Creed social media manager a raise. 👨‍🍳😘

#GDC 2025 is in the books! 37 pitches/meetings/speaking engagements over the course of 5 days, with some very exciting follow ups. So many friends, old and new. A hands-on playable prototype that met with great acclaim. And the chance to share what we’re building with an incredible group of people.

The flight from SEA to SFO today feels like a wonderful industry reunion. Especially great to see my Xbox and AWS friends! Time for GDC!

This adorbs game from @windupminds.bsky.social looks great, I can’t wait to play! youtu.be/o6RDGCAQOdk

I was at a dinner for Seattle games industry founders last night, and I had the chance to meet two of the founders of @candlelightgames.bsky.social These wonderful people didn’t know it, but they were about to get fangirled in the best way.

I've started a new project: Game Dev Foundry—a community-driven resource to help empower game devs build and run successful studios. Game development is hard, but we don’t have to figure it all out alone—let’s build this together! rikukat.github.io/game-dev-fou... #gamedev #indiedev #gameindustry

That Ontario commercial is the nicest FAFO warning I’ve ever seen.

Between dominant Eagles in the first half and shade from Canada via Super Bowl commercial, this was not the Super Bowl I expected but I’m absolutely loving it.

I just made a terrible mistake. I went to Trader Joe’s when I was hungry.

In the ongoing tale of “parenting a teenager is an absolute rollercoaster”, the same child who was sulking last night came home in a great mood and with a present for me. I suppose it all evens out?

Get ready with your macro and micro skills, because Steam Real-Time Strategy Fest marches in next Monday. This Fest features all types of RTS games from medieval settings to space wars, in addition to some fresh takes on the intersection between real-time and strategy!

Restoring justice and democracy while uniting a fragmented country (Metaphor: ReFantazio)

My 12yo is throwing a tantrum because her younger brother is now responsible for cleaning the kitty litter instead of clearing the table after dinner. I swear, there is no winning with teenagers.

Devastating to see the destruction in Southern California. We need climate action now. There is no greater threat to us as individuals and a society.

Hey @xbox.com friends, I don’t know who came up with the Enjoy Soup dash promo today, but it totally got me to click. Fun stuff!

How is it possible that there still isn’t a Heismay plushie? @sega.jp take my money!

One of the reasons why New Years Day is awesome: time for a new @hobonichi.bsky.social Techo. Upgraded to A6 this year so I can track Must Do/Should Do/Could Do in addition to three things I’m grateful for.

It’s safe to say that 2024 didn’t end as I might have expected back on January 1. But in spite of the twists and turns, I’m so excited going in to 2025.

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time this holiday as Rook, the most comically, suicidally bad swimmer in all of Thedas.

I don’t think it’s possible for kids to understand how exhausting Christmas is for adults. This Christmas was great. I’m glad I have a year until the next one.

Alcoholic beverages on sale at the local bougie grocery store. I suspect they are planning for lots of people with family visits.
