HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, especially to all the mamas who can't hold their babies today 🫶🏾

Welp, I cried playing a video game! Again! Seriously, go play Mixtape and thank me later 🥹🎸🤘

Wow - it's been awhile since a video game made me SOB LIKE A BABY (more details soon on GTR) 😭😭😭

Really enjoyed diving into the video game market weeds with @therianamp.bsky.social and @godfree.bsky.social Some tectonic shifts are underway both in and influencing the video game market, and we hit on a bunch of them. I'd like to live in less interesting times tbh!

This may be the best interview I've ever done. And a conversation that NEEDS to continue... Thank you again, @matpiscatella.bsky.social , for making me feel a little bit less crazy 😅

Gamer exploits & corporate culture (catch the full episode on The Danny and Riana Show - out now!)

"Keep going. We need you out here." @therianamp.bsky.social 😭

In case you missed Dad Fest last night: our 200th episode of Mega Dads Live is available now! Shout out to @itskahlief.bsky.social, @jeffcannata.bsky.social, @therianamp.bsky.social, @toddoxtra.bsky.social and @nintendodads.bsky.social for stopping in! youtu.be/17V7Tbf7_m4

As we get into the holiday season, it's the perfect time to support your favorite indie creators and artists! Buy something from them, leave a review, or boost their promo posts. Everything helps, and they'll appreciate it more than a big corporation.

We're grateful to see HADES II nominated for the Golden Joystick Ultimate Game of the Year award! Your votes will determine the winner: www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoysti...

The short version: Despite layoffs, buying the game still puts money in the pockets of the developers who worked on it. Which is doubly important because they're out of a job. Boycotting the game in solidarity with them by screwing them out of money won't help anyone!

Game Awards desperately needs a puzzle game category

Adriyan Rae is up for a Golden Joystick Award for Best Lead Performer (her first ever!). I spoke with her about her nomination, being the only Black woman nominated for a Golden Joystick, her journey into games, and more. She was delightful to speak to, and I think that really shows in this piece🐊

For reasons that should be obvious I really need the original Renaissance vinyl with the Kelis vocals on Energy

Waiting for that cross-map-throwing-knife-kill-on-Summit feeling to come back. Hopefully Blops7 does it for me...

My baby just said I have "beautiful hair, Mama" so I'll be riding this high for the rest of the month 😌

The red carpet for Tron:Ares! #redcarpet #premiere #tron #movie

Our first joint writing credit on a video game as D&R Media Consulting! Proud of what @therianamp.bsky.social and I have achieved. NBA Bounce, a family friendly basketball game, releases tomorrow. Thanks to Outright Games and the NBA for giving us the opportunity for being part of this project.

I finally made it out of the house (and onto the red carpet) for the Tron: Aries World Premiere!

Come see me in the Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Beta! 1st game of Domination was a breezeeeeeee 💁🏾‍♀️

Our quick weekend trip didn't go quite as planned. After an unexpected, life-saving emergency surgery I'm now home and taking the next steps to heal physically and emotionally with my family. I'm still working, but taking things slow. Send funny memes and tasty recipes 💜

I'm so proud of @therianamp.bsky.social for writing her first blog post for the ESRB Parent's Guide. Check it out! www.esrb.org/blog/a-paren...

Today, Kinda Funny takes a HUGE step in our 10-year journey: we’re collaborating with Russ Frushtick, formerly the co-founder of Polygon. Russ will be heading up our partnership business, so if you’re interested in advertising, sponsorships, or custom series, hit up [email protected]!

So excited to finally share this! Couldn't be more in awe of this crew and I'm pumped to be working with them on some truly awesome stuff.

If you are a video person who was laid off today and knows how to shoot on location, please email me. I don't have a lot of work, but we will need videographers from time to time and I want to know you.

Ariana, what are you doing here!? Lol I don't usually fangirl, but I love Ariana Madix and she was so sweet to do this (it really lifted my spirits)! Thank you gorgeous girl✨️!

Life is the best when you host a small BBQ with some gaming friends @tryandkatchmeow.bsky.social @godfree.bsky.social @therianamp.bsky.social @stadnik.bsky.social and @kfam.bsky.social we missed youuuuu

Real talk I'm really enjoying Ironheart so far. The references, explorations of grief ethics and AI, and a strong desire to appear in control when you're not are all resonating with me. Looking forward to the second half!

#Ironheart episodes 1-3 out of context

In our latest podcast episode of The Danny and Riana Show, we're chatting about a potential future move to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴

I sat down with Bryna Dabby Smith and Rashad Redic, co-founders of Brass Lion Entertainment, to discuss the origins of Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver, the Wu-Tang Clan's involvement, and more in our new series, BLE Breakdown. Check it out! Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsBK...

We at BLE are building something special. We wanted to share more insights about our studio and game Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver with all of you in our first “BLE Breakdown” featuring our founders @brynabee.bsky.social & Rashad Redic hosted by @godfree.bsky.social youtu.be/ZsBK2cFlbN4

Over the past two decades, having my content featured in top media outlets has been a game changer, allowing me to showcase my skills to potential clients and partners.

In our BLE Breakdown, we talked about what makes Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver different from other games in the space. Check out the full interview - youtu.be/ZsBK2cFlbN4 and don't forget to wishlist! Steam – bit.ly/ROTDSTEAM Epic - bit.ly/ROTDEPIC

I'm working on booking more solo interviews soon. It's great to see studios giving me opportunities to discuss future projects. There's nothing like having these conversations in person. The vibe is just different.

Felt so good seeing our Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver teaser hit the screens in front of a sold out crowd during Wu-Tang's final tour show in Los Angeles. It was just amazing! This moment is truly historic for the culture!

We caught an earthquake while recording a podcast.

Wu-Tang's final tour in LA was perfect! They played all the classics. The crowd went wild from start to finish. @therianamp.bsky.social @egprchamp.bsky.social @vicious696.bsky.social @timstatis.bsky.social

In a half hour, game 3 of @kaoscryptid.asalwaysimani.com 's Juneteenth TTRPG Stream Event kicks off! The energy of this crew is immaculate, pull up a tab and hang with MC @intersectionscch.bsky.social & crew🌟
