📣 GAMEDEVS 📣 Did you know the @gameworkerscon.bsky.social is officially ONE WEEK FROM TODAY? ...And that it's FREE and ENTIRELY REMOTE? 👇👇👇 gameworkersconference.org

I’ve been very sick because my body is still an out-of-control blood producing factory. We’re now hoping University of Washington can figure out how to help me. On top of this, I also have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Recovery is slow but I’ll take anything at this point. #mysteryillness

Medical visits this week: * Oncologist * Dentist (regular cleaning) * Nephrologist Sorry I haven’t been around but I’ve been trying to just get by day to day. Also I’m trying to live as much as I can until I get a formal diagnosis. On the upside, I have a rollator & it helps so much! #disabled

Phoenix Sky Harbor airport is the most hostile, poorly-laid out airport I have EVER been to. Need to get to E gates? TOUGH SHIT. You have to go through security AGAIN just to change gates. SHAME on #PHX! No signs either. If there’s any way you can avoid this airport, do it.

Sweetie, the cat I raised from a kitten & lives with my son, has to be put to sleep this week. I’m crushed. She’s 19 & has pancreatic cancer. 😢 No diagnosis yet for me. More tests. Health declining. 😞 A gentle reminder to all US #gaming workers that you should join @videogameworkers.bsky.social

I hate #mobilegame ads with “FAIL” on them so much that I’m actively downloading & supporting #games that don’t use it. Ads with playable demos are the best. I will rejoice when that damn “FAIL” #marketing shit is ultimately rejected. I turned 47 today. I can’t believe I’m that old. #birthday

We finished Clair Obscur: #Expedition33 (@expedition33.bsky.social ) & that game is a masterpiece. Mad props to writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen who did an incredible job, especially with the dialogue. The whole studio did an amazing job. The facial animations & expressions especially were incredible.

Treasures lie beyond that which we can find in our mortal world. Welcome to: The Fiddler's Green

Even if you’re not into #fabtcg, this video is hilarious. Features the beautiful #Seattle area & LGS Mind Full Games. #highseas youtu.be/0H2HmaWWEkw?...

As my health continues to decline, I have to spend more time away from social media. I’ve been told in no uncertain terms that I have to decrease my stress levels. With the whole world going to shit, my heart breaks for all the folks suffering. 😞 I mentally can’t handle it right now. I’m sorry. 😞

The sadly cancelled game #Fable Legends had some of the most brilliant game design in terms of PvE (player versus environment) because another player controlled the environment. I truly think something along those lines would work so well for #fabtcg PvE, especially by leveraging the judge program.

#Skype officially shuts down today. I still remember when Lync turned into Skype for Business but it was essentially the same app. Then Teams showed up. SFB shut down. Then there were 2 Skype apps for Windows, one being the UWP & neither of them working all that well. It was confusing. RIP Skype.

I hate Mirei Park from #Yakuza5 with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. She’s right up there with Hojo (FF7) & the bitchy model girl in “Skip And Loafer” anime. Imagine if my narcissistic, abusive mother was a Japanese idol girl manager. That’s Mirei Park.

🫢 #Confession 🫢 Odin has always been my least favorite summons/Eidolon/Eikon. Wes played the Odin event story in #FF7 Ever Crisis but I just couldn’t get through it. I never liked Titan much either. So seeing them as villains in FF16 was super easy for me. Bahamut is an epic gay icon. 🏳️‍🌈

GET YOUR #COVID BOOSTER if you didn’t already get it with your flu vaccine. Ask your doctor to check your titers to see if you need any additional #vaccines in general. 😷 #Mask up 💉 #Vax up Especially if you’re in the US because willfully murderous anti-vaxxers have screwed us all.

Struggling with more #health issues. Still no diagnosis. Now they’re looking at my thyroid, parathyroid, & STILL trying to get in to see the nephrologist. More tests incoming. La Nina ended so am looking forward to more low barometric pressure & wetter #weather. Mask up & stay hydrated! 😷💧

Can anyone recommend me some books on the history of disability rights and/or similar topics? 🌸

Has anyone else here had experiences with passing uterine fibroids? Am certain I passed one today and it was in a huge clot. Does this mean hopefully my periods will start getting better now in time? I had pain radiating down the back of my legs with my cramps before it passed

A Haitian woman in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was KILLEd Friday night at a detention center in Pompano Beach, according to ICE officials. Say her name Marie Ange Blaise! 🇭🇹 Share & Repost! #haitiansky #ayiti #immigration #deportation #haiti #zoesky #blacksky #resist

My #Reddit account is 18 years old today. 🎂 There’s nothing quite like feeling the very sharp reminder of the passage of time like realizing one of your social media accounts would be able to vote, drive, & serve in the military if it were a human. 😅

If you saw these pickle-flavored jellybeans, my friend @iamagrip.bsky.social took one for the team and tried them so none of us have to try them.

Fuck, if you write or stream about Vekari or anything that gets eyes on it, I'll send you free stuff. Send me the link for proof and a mailing address, I'll send you a little pack of Vekari prints, stickers, and an itch redeem code as thanks. It's taking up my bedroom anyways.

Can anyone help me with food for tonight please

One thing I did when I was desperate for employment was going around malls & applying to every store. It makes juggling schedules of multiple jobs much easier as the travel time is reduced. Strip malls & shopping centers also work. Remember: a job is a job. No shame in doing whatever to survive.

If you have Autistic patients, no you don't 👏🏻👏🏻 If you make autism diagnoses, no you don't 👏🏻👏🏻 If you really really care, Neurodivergent clients are not there If you have Autistic patients, no you don't 👏🏻👏🏻

I have legit learned so much from @neorsd.org & highly recommend following them. It’s a heartwarming & educational account that gives a real look at an essential service we all use but often take for granted: sewage. And if you’re in the Cleveland, OH area, you are so very lucky to have them! 💜

If you have #autism, DO NOT PUT YOURSELF ON THIS REGISTRY. If you live in a state with a mandatory autism registry, move ASAP. DO NOT give them a forwarding address, especially if they ask. First, Republirapists went after trans folks. Now it’s open season on autistics. #RESIST #DoNotComply

Would anyone like to support my small business and buy one of my hand-sewn fabric art creatures? Any help would be much appreciated. jeremycreature.etsy.com

Please reconsider using the brand #Chewy. They are blatantly discriminatory towards autistics & intentionally push out autistic employees. Chewy is ableist & their treatment of #autistic employees is inexcusable. Put them on your #boycott list. #boycottchewy #workersrights

Despite everything, another successful #SakuraCon for the #fabtcg Learn To Play team! 🎉 Now to write a bunch of recommendations so this dream team of FaB L2P judges can get their advanced certification. I was pretty low-energy today but we made it!! 🌸

LEVEL 0, LEARN TO PLAY CERTIFIED #fabtcg JUDGES REPRESENT! 🎉 Since Wes had to take a break, it’s us Level 0 judges running all the events. 😁 Truthfully, no one could ask for a better group of folks. I credit their Learn to Play teaching skills with the newbie draft going so smoothly. 💜

#Netrunner Learn to Play is now open!! Room 618-620 in the Arch Building This is an exciting game & you can get a ticket to win fabulous prizes just by learning to play!

The TCG room at #SakuraCon is OPEN again after all of Arch had to be evacuated due to a fire across the street. But Flesh & Blood #fabtcg Learn to Play IS OPEN as is #Digimon. Room 618-620 in the Arch Building Everything is #FREE & gives you tickets you can use to win prizes like this #Snorlax!

Howdy folks, happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Continuing from our last post, the custom stages can now load and be played in #DragonDrop! I warned you all that UwU stage was one of the worst maps possible to play on, not kidding!! @eyeseedee.bsky.social load screen! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

Also, I accepted a position to be a Learn to Play judge for #fabtcg at #GenCon! 🎉 So excited to introduce more folks to the Flesh & Blood TCG. So if you’re planning to go to Gen Con, be sure to check out our area & say hi! 💜 #TeachTheGameSeeTheWorld

I sanitize all the dice & pens every night in the #SakuraCon TCG room. When I worked at Mojang, I sanitized all the controllers in the playtest lab. I choose to do it because I want to do what I can to prevent folks from getting sick. Especially now with so many diseases around, hopefully it helps

One of the grand prizes for the #SakuraCon TCG room is this #fabtcg World Championship Gift Bag, donated by Wes & I. One lucky Flesh & Blood player is guaranteed to take this home! Just come play—you can get more than one chance to win the more you play!

Getting set-up to welcome new players to Rathe at #SakuraCon tomorrow! My wonderful @wes-z.bsky.social is volunteering with me this year. 💜 We’ve got drafts (including a newbie booster draft), we’ve got blitz pre-constructed, & Learn To Play all day! 🎉 #TeachTheGameSeeTheWorld #fabtcg

🫢 #Confession 🫢 I’m actually a higher support needs autistic. I’m level 2. I’m also an actress that masks very well. I sacrificed myself to survive because of bigoted idiots like RFK, Jr. My quoted intro post sums up some of what I’ve still accomplished. #Autism isn’t a tragedy: ableism is.

This is our bedtime routine: 🛌 Wes & I get all snuggled up in bed 🛌 Boxes kitty hops on the bed 🛌 Boxes gives me kitty kisses on my forehead & headboops Wes’ hand 🛌 Baby Boxes lays down on my legs & snuggles in to sleep I love being a source of peace, love, & comfort. I’m a Snuggle Elemental. 😁

Muskhole’s drug-addled mind really thinking we can manipulate “time & space” as he uses the White House webpage as his personal blog. Guess he has access to military-grade LSD now. 😂 “Uh, yes, sir, this is totally the stargate to Alpha Centari…” (other military folks stifle snickers)

TIL that #neurotypicals will sometimes expect you, even in casual home settings, to stand up when someone enters the room. But not everyone, only people with some pre-determined status. I’m genuinely going to be thrilled if/when 50%+ of people have #autism. Maybe then things will be easier.

Love Sakura-Con as much as we do? Help fellow fans get their merch! 🌸 Our Merchandise team needs volunteers to share our amazing merch! Email [email protected] for more info. See our website for all our volunteer opportunities: sakuracon.org/volunteering/ #sakuracon #sakuracon2025

#SakuraCon is this coming weekend! 🌸 We’ve greatly expanded our #fabtcg offerings this year! We have FOUR blitz tournaments & 2 drafts. We also have a staff of Learn to Play certified judges teaching the game all day. Room 618-620 in the Arch Building! So many other great TCGs, too. AND PRIZES!!

Do any of my FaB mutuals have copies of Twin Drive 👉🏻👈🏻🥺

Anyone know where I can get more of these set art cards? My partner managed to find these at #FaBLondon, and I'm using them to help categorise my promo cards! And I need more! #FaBTCG #FaBMagpie

hey hey come work with me at CDPR

Officially trying to build a studio for a publisher pitch. To that end, I'm looking for game devs who've been victims of layoffs or studio closures who'd be interested in signing on if it's greenlit and funding is secured. More info in the thread to follow, but here's the initial list:
