On the up side, there’s this little guy.

After thinking my cold turned sinus infection was finally done, it hit me with a second wave last night. One goodie bag of steroids later, let’s see where we land. 💪

If I’m sick how long am I allowed to stay in bed before I need to be productive again

Figured I might as well get a face piercing before I turn 40 in a couple years.

This is the way

Usually it's the kid who wants to make games. Sarah's mum was the believer. Sarah needed convincing. Find Dev to Dev here: linktr.ee/DevToDev . . . . #gamedev #gameindustry #gamedesign #podcastclip #gamedevelopment

She went to marketing, came back to Production, and the round trip gave her a barometer Sarah's used ever since: is it the role giving as much as I'm putting in? Find Dev to Dev here: linktr.ee/DevToDev . . . . #DevToDevPodcast #producer #gameindustry #careertips #gamedevelopment

She knows she wants back in. She knows she's a workaholic. She just doesn't know how to balance that with being a parent. Find Dev to Dev here: linktr.ee/DevToDev . . . . #gamedev #gameindustry #careertips #gamedevelopment #parentalduties

Reading this for my toddler today and didn’t even realize I had on my Civ VI First Look voice until Bandit was leading Australia.

Slightly increase a band Great Charlotte

Hey that’s me!

Necessary. Occasionally, too, but I’ve gotten better at that one.

store.steampowered.com/app/4363550/... Been working on this if you like couch co-op brawlers and/or frogs check it out!

There are new brick and mortar bookstores opening near me and I think this is a sign that nature is healing.

What’s your gaming hot take? Mine? 10-12 hours is an underrated sweet spot for game length. More games in this zone please.

I’ve had more of an appetite for playing games lately than I have in a long time. The other night I finished Open Roads and wowie that one gave me a jaw drop moment. Last night I started Cabernet, and I’m already obsessed.

I’ve been studying The Heroine’s Journey (as opposed to the more widely recognized Hero’s Journey) for a game I’m working on, and… I don’t understand how I’ve gone so long without exposure to this framework? I went to school for English…?! It’s honestly baffling me.

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

Take a look at gameplay from Songs of Glimmerwick, a story-driven witch academy RPG that's like Stardew Valley set in a Harry Potter-esque world.

“All authors are using AI now” Not true! A lot of us are using The Trauma.

Pretty sure the tomato sauce companies are the ones that decided all toddler clothes should be pastel colors 🤨

I finished Perfect Tides: Station to Station last night and, just, wow - what a great experience all around. There were so many moments that had me In My Feels. But honestly I’ll never forget cry-laughing during the karaoke scene. Congrats to @meredithgran.com and the team on a job well done!

Sometimes I draw my friends creatures- especially when they’re being blobs. @leylses.bsky.social has some especially good ones

This dog has been slowly shimmying up my body for the last ten minutes and I can’t tell if she’s trying to wear me like a skin coat or push me off the couch

I love everybody making their yards into bee habitats for many reasons, but right now mostly because it made the phrase “your ass is grass and I’m gonna put bees in it” pass through my mind

I had my first social interaction at The Gym today. I was doing cable kneeling crunches - which I don’t think I enjoy, but I wanted to try - and some magical Gym Fairy man appeared in front of me, threw a knee pad down before me, and walked away. That’s the kind of gym bro I can abide. 💪🏻

✨Hire me to write some memorable melodies for you!✨ Im available for more music work this year! Im always open to negotiate pay and can write in a variety of styles and do implementation in Wwise🔥 This is a small medley of some of my more RPG ish music RTs appreciate (for me AND Nala heh)

I tried making homemade mayonnaise today. It looked perfect. Recipe was easy. BUT. I used a different oil, and I learned something. Apparently, blending olive oil can release its inner bitters… making this the WORST mayonnaise in the world. 😭

Seeing some photos of friends at GDC is giving me a little bit of renewed hope in our industry. Even if it’s … an absolute shit show right now… there’s so many good people lifting each other up and trying to keep going and stay creative. That’s gotta mean something.

I’ve been playing Dave the Diver lately and I know I’m late to the party but what a fun game

GDC 2026

The kid is real passionate about hand turkeys right now

Hey #romantasy readers - in terms of not spicy plot points, what are your favorite tropes/scenes?

I just got an invitation to my 20 year high school reunion so here’s my 20 year glow up I guess 😂🫣 HOW HAS IT BEEN TWENTY YEARS

It’s wacky cold out

After asking me “do yeh like bears?” the ogre sized customer pulled a tiny wooden box from inside his trench coat and let a small rabbit loose in front of my cash register.

This year has been a wild new brand of seasonal depression

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Why did they change the entire iPhone UI to what looks like cartoon speech bubbles

Omg I thought I dreamed that someone told me about Yellowcard/GC dropping a new single today but it’s REAL

This is definitely not the right place for a complicated cultural musing/wandering thought at 7:30 in the morning but here we go. I’ve found myself over the past decade afraid to speak up about poor treatment/service because I’ve over corrected based on our anti-Karen culture.

When I started in the industry in 2009 or so, I was a design intern. So, like, this is really bringing me back.

My poor engineer husband is now designated crash reviewer for my hobby project. “At the level you’re using unreal I don’t even understand how you’re getting crashes???” Me neither my dude

Can we fast forward through this phase of humanity and just get to where it’s better?

I'll be deep in the cold cold ground before I ever willingly save a file to OneDrive

Got a Tinder authorization code while I was sleeping last night. If someone out there is trying to use 2017 Sarah to catfish people, good luck. 🥲
