Garrus snoozing like a happy little pretzel

Writing a deeply personal piece of writing to share on my 33rd bday on Monday. Part of me is like, no one cares or wants to know all of these things about me, the other part of me is like, ok but if people understood where I come from I might have an easier time making friends 😅😭

Garrus snoozing like a happy little pretzel

*rises from my grave* the reason we use Tetris as the default standard of comparison is because it literally set the standard for puzzle games, there is no better puzzle game than Tetris

I really like these new shoes 😎

You know I had to.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

"You can't get good at something unless you practice while you're bad at it," I say to myself as I try to practice singing at 9am on my week off only to find the closest song to my natural range to be Hemorrage (In My Hands) by Fuel. Guess I know what song I'm doing the next time I do karaoke 😆

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Happy Halloween from me and Garrus 🎃

Introducing a week of streams to help raise money for our dear friend Brenden and his partner Jen as she continues to battle Myasthenia Gravis. All money goes to their hospital bills and peace of mind during these difficult times. Hope y'all will tune in. gofund.me/44b193917

Happy Halloween from me and Garrus 🎃

Maybe I should've worded that differently 😅 we've got 2 announcements for Turok plus a special Halloween ep. of Deep Dive, it is a dino-sized amount of news tomorrow but it's not Dino Crisis I'm sorry 😩

Jen has been in the hospital most of October. These hospital stays and the recovery are the most challenging her Myasthenia Gravis has ever been. If you’re able to share this post / donate we would be forever grateful. Thank you again for all of your help ❤️ gofund.me/f6a578450

Thrifted this dress for Halloween and um... this might be one of my all-time best thrifted outfits 😳

Playing FEAR again (for work) and in complete awe of how well it holds up 20 years later. Absolutely one of the best FPS games ever made.

In case you missed it 👀 System Shock remake is COMING SOON to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 - game cart included with physical editions!

And there it is, we're bringing System Shock remake to Switch and Switch 2! 🎉

I wish I could do a launch day stream to chart my progress to 100% completion for PowerWash Sim 2 but my company has an exciting announcement of our own today 👀

I can't download the video to share in full, but I can't believe Razer in the year 2025 put out an ad where the entire premise is a guy using his headphones to mute the sound of his gf trying to talk to him 🤦‍♀️

How's everyone managing to keep it together right now? I've been past my breaking point for a while, the only thing keeping me going is knowing I have no other choice.

It's sad to realize my old friend group from when I was a games journalist are no longer my friends, but also a positive because I've made so many new friends while working in game dev and these friends actually like me

I can't believe I'm turning 33 next month 👻

Replaying FF7 Remake while sick and once again getting mad at Cloud for not standing up for Aerith at Wall Market when people kept calling her plain and homely and "not like Tifa". I might write an entire article about that section, because it pisses me off every single time.

Trying to work while sick with COVID is making me sicker 😭 why must I always get sick at the most inconvenient times

The mental gymnastics of AI supporters saying AI "removes human bias" or is "better than humans" when it's humans who created the damn thing in the first place and human data that trained it. It's also humans funding and allocating resources to it.

When are we going to acknowledge some of the difficulty games industry people face in getting hired is due to the increased reliance on ATS screening. If you're a person of color, or a woman, you're statistically more likely to be passed up for a job. www.washington.edu/news/2024/10...

Instead of a Switch 2, I decided to treat myself to the Zelda OLED that I've always wanted 😇

Once again reminding everyone to please leave steam reviews on indie games. It helps out the devs SO MUCH

Shoutout to my 6th grade teacher for the trauma he inflicted on me when he dumped out my desk, found my diary, and read it out loud to the entire class. I'm almost 33 years old and still get traumatic flashbacks from that day. 😩

When I have the money and free time I really want to learn how to play the drums so I can be a one-person band like Wolfgang Van Halen

Thinking about my first ever run through Pokémon Silver at age 8 where I beat the entire game (including the Elite Four) by only using Typhlosion. I knew I could use other Pokémon, I just didn't want to play the game that way because it felt too easy to have 6 Pokémon to swap between.

unfortunately i do love: -cozy games -easy games -accessibility options -being able to save whenever i want -walking sims -dating sims disguised as roleplaying games -spending hours perfecting my character in the character creator -games where i can pet the dog -or the cat -or th

Too many games for whom? The average gamer can't afford to buy more than a handful of games a month, and don't have the time to play most of them because they're busy working. Not to mention, we're treating "games" as a monolith instead of noting the differences in genre, platform, audience, etc.

I'm biased, but Nightdive really are the masters of remasters. I'm honored to get to work with some of the most talented people in the industry.

When I was a games journalist, I had the free time to play new releases and talk about them with friends. Since I was laid off from journalism in 2023, I stopped playing games almost entirely. As a writer, it broke me to be forced away from journalism in a way I've never truly recovered from.
