Celebrated 9 years of marriage 💍 to the phenomenal @johndrake.bsky.social 🥂What an incredible journey it’s been and I’m grateful everyday I get to be with my best friend through it all ❤️

Alright nerdy PC video editor friendos, I need some help. Premiere is frequently locking up on me making it hard to work. I think it’s time for a GPU and RAM upgrade. I’ve got a Ryzen 9 3900X CPU, but which GPU should I get and how much RAM? I’m deep diving into PC subreddits and recs are all over.

It was a nail biter last night but so happy the Vikings pulled out a win!! JJ unsurprisingly showed that yes, he’s a rookie, but hopefully will get more confident each game. Sorry not sorry Bears 😂🐻🚫🏈 #SKOL

Cool cool cool cool cool cool 🥵🥵😨😰🚩 www.latimes.com/california/s...

If you build it, they will come 🦋🌱🐛 California native narrow leaf milkweed took off this year!

Fire season is ramping up here in California but the Watch Duty app really makes it seem like the whole West Coast is ablaze 🔥😰 (of course it’s not, the U.S. is just geographically very large)

I'm combining my many years of production expertise with my passion for supporting gamemakers to launch "Gaming Decoded" with Adam Boyes and his newly announced team at Vivrato! More details to come soon 🤓🎙️ gamesbeat.com/adam-boyes-v...

THIS IS INSANITY!!!! This man being forced out of the press conference is a SENIOR SENATOR. Getting my marching shoes ready for #NoKingsDay

Dunking on games that are obviously bad - lame Focusing your energy on games that need the love - Good.

SURPRISE! I'm hanging out w/ @thatgrltrish.bsky.social to talk games we saw or played at #SummerGameFest Play Days! 🤓Join us LIVE NOW: www.twitch.tv/trishahershb...

Trump’s unnecessary and totally political deployment of the military is costing taxpayers $134 million. Even LA’s formerly Republican District Attorney said today local law enforcement resources were adequate to meet the needs of the protests.

Let me be crystal clear: I was very close to the protests happening in DTLA: they are *NOT* riots. There were some agitators yes, but the aftermath of a Lakers/Kings championship is more destructive than this. (But it will surely escalate if more troops get involved.)

"On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else..." www.nokings.org

I travelled freely yesterday all over the city for Summer Game Fest stuff and didn’t even see a second of the “violence requiring intervention.” It’s…just a normal weekend mostly? Weird to see how it’s being portrayed.

I *love* a HUD in gameplay trailers, and I am stoked for these new weapons in Outer Worlds 2! Giving me Borderlands vibes with the fun quirks and abilities 🔫 #XboxGamesShowcase #OuterWorlds2

Gears of War Reloaded - out Aug 26

WOOOOO so exciting! Looking forward to checking this out and not having to worry about playing GTA at the same time haha!

It’s moments like this thst I need @brittney.bsky.social sitting next to me for the best reactions in the biz! #summergamefest Resident Evil Requiem had quite the tease!

Doing a Wu-Tang reveal immediately after a Wuchang reveal was intentional right? 😆 #summergamefest

If you're not excited about a single game announced and shown at Summer Games Fest, I think you may want to step away from games and rediscover why you started playing in the first place.

The largest audience pop of the show (at least near me) so far is this Scott Pilgrim EX trailer! #summergamefest Going to make a confession: never been into it. Not mad at it, just indifferent. Were you into it?

Pacing of the show so far is great! Lots of really different games with some fun surprises. I think it was super smart to scale back the number of people on stage in service of momentum. #summergamefest

All I can think is how much the Game of Thrones: War for Westeros likeness rights must be costing them 😱😱😱 But I’m intrigued! #Summergamefest

It is finally hitting me that it’s my first year doing #SummerGameFest without my WGG crew and I’m definitely having FEELS about it 🫠 But I’m still pumped to see all the announcements today 🤓❤️🎮

turns out that a union of writers can pen a pretty kick-ass fuckin statement, who woulda guessed ✊🏾

New Ecco game! Ecco remasters! A really bad pun in the subhed! This article has it all, nothing fishy I swear. www.gamespot.com/articles/thr...

Cool announcement time! 📣 I’m moderating an exciting panel at @milkeninstitute.org Global Conference on May 7th! 🎮✨ Leaders from all over the world are talking about a wide range of issues from the global economy to health & wellness. #MIGlobal Learn more: milkeninstitute.org/events/global-…

Never ceases to amaze me that I’ll get a 3rd or 4th follow-up email from someone cold pitching me on something unrelated to what I do — with the ending line: “If you don’t want to hear from me again just tell me no thanks.” 🙄 I already wasted my time reading the email! *table flip*

“The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick behind the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.” - Andor S1:E5 The parallels between the themes of this amazing show and our current reality are striking.

DEEP SIGH. So what are millions of parents supposed to do exactly? Stop feeding our kids milk? (one of the key ways kids between age 1-5 get vital nutrition) Sure feels like America is getting further from “great again” by the day 🙄 From @reuters.com -> www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Me: “I’m getting angry you are misbehaving it is time for bed.” My 3.5 year old: “I don’t like you.” Me: Walks to door to leave the room exasperated. Child: “WAIT WAIT I’M SORRY! I like you like you. I don’t like your feelings.” Me: 🥹🥹🥹

Haven’t posted in awhile because everyday is a new nightmare in the news but here’s a pic of me looking cute back at DICE. ☺️ (thanks for snapping it @ashleyesqueda.com)

The amount of people who actively pitch me on features or podcast guests for WGG is WILD. Either everyone is using bad AI outreach or they just truly can’t be bothered to do even 1 minute of research on the brand before pitching. 🙃

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Waitsfield on Saturday morning to protest Vice President JD Vance, who is visiting Vermont with his family for a ski trip this weekend.

This article about the impact of Project 2025 on video games was ignored by many last year. But the SCREEN act was just resubmitted so maybe take another look. "...expanding the definition of pornography in vague and uncertain terms may mean video games... could be targeted by such legislation..."

There’s a lot to talk about here, from tips and tricks that will help you reclaim your time to shining spotlights on the software and services that are still doing it right. So I’ve started a newsletter/blog. You can sign up here if you’re interested.

This inaction just keeps happening and these utilities companies have zero consequences 😠

On my way to my 13th DICE Summit and excited to see folks after being a relative hermit for a few months. I love the work @official-aias.bsky.social does, particularly with the scholars program at the show. 🤓🎓🎮 If you are there say hi if you see me!

Thanks Tom for the chat! It was a lovely convo that went from gaming industry trends, to saying goodbye to WGG, creator burnout, and more. And it’s true: lots of people still think I don’t actually play games 🙃 FAKE GAMER ALERT 🚨😂🤦🏻‍♀️ *sigh*

😢 I learned so much from the amazing creator community on TikTok. I wish I had downloaded more of my saved cleaning, gardening, and cooking videos. Just such a bummer.

Amid TONS of misinformation about the water situation during the current L.A. fire crisis, this thread provides great context citing publicly available state data on where California’s water goes and comes from: www.reddit.com/r/Ceanothus/...

Hey folks, as you may know, we lost everything this week when the #EatonFire destroyed our #Altadena home. It took everything we had. We have the clothes on our back and not much else. If you feel able to help, it’s would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance. www.gofundme.com/f/help-shawn...

I’ve been a nonstop ball of anxiety all week and now the fires have come toward us in Tarzana. We haven’t received evacuation orders yet but it’s probably close. Beyond grateful for WATCH DUTY app and the fire fighting teams. If you haven’t donated yet please help them continue to help L.A. 🙏🏻

My family is thankfully safe from the escalating fire danger in Los Angeles, but the evacuation zone is precariously close to our home. We are already packed and ready to go if the moment arrives, but it’s been a harrowing few days and it’s not over yet 😢🥺😔

For SoCal friends, Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can. For more info, visit Instagram: mutualaidla

Shoutout to all my late night elves working overtime to make some Christmas magic happen ✨🎄🎅🏻🎁

Myself and some great people were impacted by this. If you are looking for a Sr. Social / Community Manager let me know. I’m devastated.

Lately the game I’ve been playing is “organize all the closets so I feel like i have some sort of control” and it’s honestly been a refreshing break!
