Status update: I'm clamping down on this account, and will henceforth ONLY be posting work-related (game dev) posts here. I will still be shit posting...just elsewhere. 🤫

Our community is such a huge part of what makes our world so special. Thank you for all you do to build Tyria into the place we all dream it can be. ❤️🥰

Fractal Incursion begins today and runs through Oct. 7 at noon Pacific Time. This new bonus event features rewards, new legendary gloves, and a new fractal quickplay beta to dive into fractals, fast. Details here:  www.guildwars2.com/news/fractal... #GuildWars2

Where did THIS come from?! Surprise! ❤️😂 www.guildwars2.com/en-gb/news/f...

Dexter: Resurrection was fantastic and I really hope it's not the end of the series. I wouldn't think so, but I also thought Original Sin was great, and Paramount cancelled it, so... I guess I'll have to get my Patrick Gibson fix from the upcoming James Bond game, because that looks insanely good.

I think the saving and loading feature of the updated homesteads might finally be what gets me to use mine. (Read: I'm lazy and will be pilfering everyone else's layouts). 😆 www.pcgamer.com/games/mmo/bi...

Fancy doors are all the rage across the Mists right now. I blame Mad King Thorn, the originator of the "fancy door' in Tyria. Halloween *is* right around the corner...🎃

Had such a blast getting to hang out with so many incredible members of the #GuildWars2 community last night. Thank you to each and every one of you that came to the fan event. Wish I could've spoken to more of you! Such kind-hearted, knowledgeable and wonderful people. ❤️❤️❤️

Even heroes need a hearth to rest between all that adventuring! It's almost time to peek at Homestead updates on the horizon. Expect a blog and livestream in the coming week! #GW2 #VoE

Happy 13th 🎂🥳🧁🎁 to Guild Wars 2, the game (and franchise) that has literally changed my life in so many ways. I still remember the heady joy of exiting the tutorial zone and seeing so many players clustered around the story NPC. It's been so incredible to watch the game and our community grow! ❤️

OMG 💯 this. One of the key things that I tried to instill in my students was the importance of a collaborative mindset & demonstrating that you really enjoy the process of creative energy coming from the team. Even if you are full of great ideas, they mean nothing if you can't get the team on board.

Get ready! Deets on the Elites. Coming to eyes and ears near you soon.

This is amazing. One of our incredible voices actors is doing a great new player guide for GW2. Love ya, Poky! youtu.be/jzOk5mL0G9U?...

You know the Troubadour, Evoker and Antiquary now - who do you think gets Galeshot and Luminary? #VoE #GW2

This checks out. 👍😁

It doesn't matter how many times in my life (as a computer nerd) that I've done this*...it still makes me break out in a cold sweat every time... *Flashing the BIOS in the hope that it helps solve the issues I've been having after upgrading my GPU. 🤞

Did you call it? Mesmer (Troubadour) , Elementalist (Evoker), and Thief (Antiquary) elite specs were revealed in the announcement trailer for Guild Wars 2 - Visions of Eternity! Starting next week, dive into 3 new specs weekly with news on Wednesdays and livestreams Fridays at noon PT. #GW2 #VoE

It's here! Details and prepurchase is available for expansion six, Visions of Eternity. 🏝️

Place your wagers, Tyrians! The final reveal of the new elite specs looms - snag the chart, mark your bets, and share your guesses! Glory (and bragging rights) await. #GW2

I sure hope this is N95 rated! This newest COVID-19 variant sounds like a massive pain...

Oh man, when I was an artist I lived for the opportunity to throw in some sort of self-referential bullshit that only me and the rest of the team would get. In The Tick, we named the seafood restaurant "The Salty Seaman" which is a whole OTHER level of not giving a shit. LOL

Make sure to keep those knees well guarded.

It's been so great to reunite with such amazingly talented voice actors and to get you this content before the end of this summer - and as expected, they're nailing it. Can't wait for you all to hear the content as it was intended to be heard. ❤️

They helped you fight against the Kryptis and clean up rift chaos - 💫 R’tchikk and Gladium are back during the Return to the Secrets of the Obscure event on 7/15! 🌟 #GW2 #SotO

Tell me, what do you see...

Has to have been crafted by a norn smith after a little too much mead...🥴

I see it's #PortfolioDay & I recently created a career timeline on my website. You'll want to view it on desktop only... It's completely randomized on mobile for some reason, which is all the proof you need that I'm a narrative designer. 😆 www.barefootmatthew.com/career-timel...

New blog update is here! With some nifty teases there at the end. 🤔 www.guildwars2.com/en-gb/news/f...

Playable choya, right?

Anyone up for some Maguuma Hold 'Em?!

🤔 😲 🙂‍↔️ 🤔

I don't think the state of the industry today is fundamentally worse than when I started in terms of volatility. I was laid off 3 times and fired once between 1992-2002. The chief difference is the number of people impacted, which has grown exponentially, as well as media coverage of such events.

For those affected in the Xbox layoffs today, we have a few roles open at Gearbox, DM me if any of these are you! www.gearboxsoftware.com/careers/#car...

layoffs suck and i'm so sorry y'all. i think i've just run out of words to capture the enormity of how much this whole industry situation sucks. my team is hiring, and it's a lovely place with fantastic people. if you're looking, open roles are here. www.playstation.com/en-us/corpor...

CDPR is hiring for a bunch of game jobs, y'all. No writing roles on my team at this moment, but lots of other positions. It's a really good place to land www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs

Spoiling our new collaboration with Red Bull! *kidding* 😆💩

Ugh...this sucks so much... www.seattletimes.com/business/mic...

I'm sure there's at least *some* of you who this would be appropriate for.

🏰🫵👀➕👂👐

It's been a while since I did one of these episodes, but I'm trying to get back to it on a more regular cadence. This time, I'm playing through Chapter 3 of Secrets of the Obscure. I hope you all enjoy my rambling - I decided to do this one without a script. :D youtu.be/NyXajN4Pim0?...

*idly wonders why so many companies think layoffs at the bottom will create bigger savings than pay cuts at the top would* 🤷‍♂️🤨

Shine under the sun with a hot new swimsuit! This week, we have a brand-new bundle with three packs full of fun choices to enjoy this summer to the fullest. Don't forget the sunscreen! www.guildwars2.com/news/welcome...

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? The things that take the longest to make are often the dumbest, most minute of details few people would even take notice of, unless it's missing in which case they will scream bloody murder.
