I think the whole "everything is bad all of the time" is really starting to drag me down, we should make everything good instead, just one man's opinion though

😩 I'm trying

Not me getting so nervous in an interview I forget what class I'm playing in Baldur's Gate 3 and say the completely wrong thing 😩 it wasn't even relevant to the interview, I just said I like the game and am replaying it

Just found a bunch of old emails from 2020-2022 that made me realize how much of the awesome work I did back then for Tetris and Prima I've straight up forgotten about due to the nonstop trauma of the last 3 years 😅

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

It's completely okay and normal to simultaneously miss something and not want it to be part of your life anymore.

I haven't been this happy working around indies since I started writing at IndieObscura back in 2016, it feels surreal

I want more games like Life is Strange 2, Life is Strange: True Colors, and South of Midnight

thanks to my mom for birthing me so I could have crippling depression and be an idiot on the internet

Listening to the Ashes of the Wake album by Lamb of God for the millionth time, truly one of the greatest metal records ever made

My garden is coming along nicely 💐🌺

Got the exciting problem of being so busy doing work for 2 clients I haven't been able to get any work done on my company website 😅

Friday at last…

i Will write a thousand words today. it can still happen

Me rereading my own writing nodding in agreement.

Meet the indie studios funding other indie studios "At the end of the day, the more information available to folks, the better we can all learn from each other and negotiate better deals."

Ben and I went to Valencia to learn about @deconstructeam.bsky.social's new game and got the most candid look into indie game dev I've ever seen. Incredibly grateful to all of them. youtu.be/oWntPAOyH8g?...

Another day of painfully teaching myself web design so I can make my company site look professional on launch day, while also continuing to expand and optimize my hand-made, comprehensive press/creator database 😌

Indie games 💙

What's everyone's fave non-gaming related jobs they've had, if any? For me it's the 3 different times I've worked for Guitar Center in 3 different states lol, can't hate being paid to handle expensive guitars all day

Naming a video game you've completed more than six times is trickier.

You know what I kinda miss from older games? Weird text-files. "Do not readmes" and the like, with micro-stories or philosophical musings or just arbitrary thoughts from the devs. They were a neat little bonus to discover after installation.

My first book was rejected by every agent and publisher. So I self-published it. Sold 60k+ copies. I thought I made it... I got an agent. My 2nd book got rejected by 27 out of 28 publishers. One gave me a shot. It sold 350k+ Don't let other folks opinion of your work determine its value.

I think about this all the time.

As someone who was affected by layoffs back in December, my heart goes out to everyone at Paste and AV Club. In case no one's said this yet, please remember layoffs have nothing to do with you or the quality of your work and everything to do with corporate greed and bad business decisions.

Hey if you're impacted by layoffs/closure at the AV Club I'd love to figure out how @unwinnable.com can support you! Especially if you have something that won't see the light of day anymore!

Deleted Saves will run paid special features to help support those affected by the closure of Paste/Endless Mode. These will run outside the quarterly cadence to put money in pockets faster. Pitch me at [email protected]. Literally anything you want.

If you get too caught up trying to write the "right" way you can end up writing nothing at all. Getting better starts with writing openly and often. Bonus tip, I write in a journal in pen before bed every night, I have no objective other than filling pages, it helps ✍️

Heyyyyy, so I'm going to be launching my PR company soon and already have some devs that I'm working with on a few projects. If any press/influencers want to be added to my contact list, hmu. I promise to never spam you and only ever send you curated emails based on your interests and availability 🙏

Over 200 active video game publications. Text. Audio. Video. Reporting. Criticism. Analysis. Blogs. Sites. Networks and wikis. Even in its incomplete form, the document is a treasure trove! I hope it helps you find your next favorite blogger, essayist, reporter, video maker, podcaster, and more!

Is there a type of slam poetry where I can actually slam my poetry onto the ground after I'm done reading it? I feel like it'd make the entire experience better somehow.

One thing about me, I'm always going to exceed the word limits on any given project and spend the bulk of my time carefully trimming everything down to fit like an artist chiseling a statue out of a giant marble block

super ready for a night of spreadsheets

When the polycue goes all out for the local Ren Faire

Happy Friday 🤘

Being forced to insert as many key words as possible is one of the many things I don't miss about games/entertainment journalism. Same with vague clickbait-y headlines. The Blade Runner/Matrix references here obscure the name of the adaptation to get people to click, at the cost of readability.

Back at it again with my horrible no good very bad habit of ordering Crumbl cookies anytime a major disappointment occurs

Tad bit rusty, been too sad to pick up the guitar these past few months, but things really do seem to be looking up for me now so - time to get back to shreddin 🤘

i just don't think a girl like me should feel like this all the time

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

we get it...you vape

we should invent an even longer dash only humans are allowed to use

My husband was laid off and we’re kind of at a loss right now. If anyone has any leads on PR jobs, please reach out to him.

So I was just laid off from Vicariously. If you‘ve got an opening in PR/marketing and want to hire someone who does good work and has a family to support, I’m your guy. Any reposts super appreciated.

💜🌟 reach for the stars this weekend 💫❤️
