I know I'm still looking for my next role, but even I'm not at this point, LinkedIn. Chill.

I finally watched Superman. Pretty dag good.

Cleaned the apartment yesterday and made the good popcorn for a board game night that became a movie night. Good decisions across the board, tbh.

Seeing a Rider panel at LA Comic Con is wild. And in sight of our game’s booth. Double wild.

At LA Comic Con? Swing by the MIX area in west hall and check out the demo of Voyagers of Nera! I’ll be here all day :D

So I'm gonna be demoing Voyagers of Nera at LA Comic Con this weekend in the MIX Area. ... I had to install the evil onto my phone once again, though. A high price.

🏹 Updated Roadmap: We wanted to recap some of what we’ve heard and learned from your feedback, and we want to share what the next steps are for Voyagers. store.steampowered.com/news/app/268...

Have the gentiles rapture'd yet or whatever? (seriously, belated shanah tovah to my fellow members of the tribe)

Whomever set up the latest version of Jira Cloud I just wanna talk, I swear (this is a joke brought to you by me figuring out how to improve some ticket flows and slowly losing my mind)

Twelve hours after being up for launch and diagnosing some issues as we went, I'm sleepy. Can't wait to do more work on this one tomorrow :D

First game I've been credited on in like... a decade (due to working on Live Service titles) launched this morning at 6 AM Local. Around 7AM, we have almost 10k people watching on Twitch. All this is so surreal to me. Voyagers of Nera is now live in Early Access. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qUE...

So I haven't streamed in a hot minute. Tonight... around 9PM, Tokon stream since it's now allowed? Might stream earlier either some Voyagers of Nera (GO WISHLIST IT PLS) or something else? Maybe lurk around twitch.tv/inokiTV if you're one of those stream-watching types after like... 6-7 PM?

Ian McKellen was an excellent Magneto and helped Magnus become one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time.

Yea I want it too but this is not a boss fight you win by turning the ps2 system clock forward

i'm sorry

There's a lot going on here, but "The Elf on the Shelf" game releasing in October is doing way too much psychic damage to me. It starts after Thanksgiving, y'all, not before Halloween.

A Star Trek Voyager Game in 2025 was *NOT* on my Bingo Card but I am so here for it. youtu.be/s-0brgSYDEM

Y'all ever have the fridge break, freezing your canned drinks and causing one of them to explode, starting the ever-living heck outta you? No, just me? Good morning, I think?

#Gamescom2025 trailer is more than 100k dollars, so here's a GIF of our indie game ⛵🌊

My game is good, the algorithm just ignores me My game is good, the algorithm just ignores me My game is good, the algorithm just ignores me My game is good, the algorithm just ignores me My game is good, the algorithm just ignores...

In addition to excellent Production and QA Support, I bring solid memes to game teams. For context, the game I'm working on has Skimmers that function like Surfboards, and if I'm gonna pitch post-early-access mechanics, I will use memes. (this was approved to share publicly and I stand by my jokes)

See some of y'all there or else. or else what? Exactly.

It used to bug me to no end they *literally* have it on the license plates, and I know it's been talked about since the early 2000s at LEAST.

Me, after 2-0ing my first Sagat last night: "Oh I guess this matchup ain't too bad" Me, after 0-2ing against the next 4 Sagat players: "Oh, I'm just bad."

Evo got me inspired and I got the energy for a stream so here we go. Back to Cammy because I am not strong enough to learn a new character right now :P twitch.tv/inokiTV

I’m here for the esports this time, y’all.

At least Prodigy gave him the well overdue promotion?

Time to pay off the vague post from last week. I've joined Treehouse Games as a Contract QA Lead! I'll be supporting Voyagers of Nera, an ocean-based survival-crafting game. I'll be still on the lookout for a permanent role in Production or QA, but very excited to be supporting the team!

It's a short-term contract (so I'll still be looking for work nudge nudge), but I can finally post this classic, vaguely.

This rules. No further comment.

Today's fun job-application process was seeing a posting get removed while I was writing the cover letter for said role. I must have found the last 20 minutes before it was pulled down.

Seeing multiple buddies get jobs recently has made me feel a little more hope for where we're at in the game development industry. Meanwhile, I'd like to be your team's next QA or Production person! - 11 Years QA Experience - 4 Years Production I can send a resume over with deets if you need🥺

Doing some reading this afternoon and well ain’t this a reminder to start. I’m still job hunting but I got some more out today. Woo?

(most of these in QA, but still.) Made: Strategy, Party, Platformer, Sports, FPS, Adventure, Third-Person Shooter, Time-Management, Endless Runner, Casino, Match 3, Gacha I think I'd like to make Fighting and Tactics games?

I've been playing the Persona gacha game totally F2P and getting some pretty good rolls. I just met this guy. He is now my best friend. That is it. ...if mutuals are playing I'd be down to join a Companio but I'd probably need to change my name from the default; I was in it for the story anyway ;_;

Twilight Zone Season 1, Episode 8: Time Enough at Last. My English Teacher in middle school was SO stoked to share it with us. He was right to be stoked, by the by.

I am frequently surprised by random games I find on the arcade cabinet.

Definitely not thinking about "Concrete Schoolyard" by Jurassic 5 today for the line "I Live in America, but @#$! this government" Nope. Couldn't be me. youtu.be/axoRYjwLZp0

A good reminder that while Metal Gear Rising was incredibly loud and completely devoid of subtlety, people mistook that for being dumb. It is not. It's one of the most clear-eyed and pointed political satires AND most plausible takes on cyberpunk around. It is the Rage Against The Machine of games

We could have had universal healthcare, free college, and housing for all, but instead, they're using MY tax dollars on a fucking concentration camp.

"This decision was not made lightly, as we recognize the value you could bring to our team." Maybe the next team will pick me up?

The line "I live in America, but fuck this Government" is back in my head for just... reasons. Still heads down, applying for roles, which sucks, but hey, I'm getting out of the house here and there, so I got that going for me? open.spotify.com/track/3J0Osz...

I heard @1eonard1ai.bsky.social call Blanka Chan a Labubu and now I can't undo it. 😂

It's been a fun weekend. Running into folks at @gamedevperkup.bsky.social, convincing people to drop into @gameindustrycc.bsky.social, reconnecting with some friends around the industry, and some additional social wins? But today I am le tired. So it's nap time. Missiles probably won't be involved.

First limited didn't go well. Second one worked out for me. Thank you Lightning + Buster Sword. Love you both.

Not enough experience for senior roles. Too much experience for junior roles. Finding mid-level roles is it's own adventure. We keep lookin', though o7

This week has been a bummer. So I do a stream to get out of my head. Come hang out? twitch.tv/InokiTV

I climb the thing for a bit. Trying PEAK from Landfall and Aggro Crab twitch.tv/inokiTV

Fyre Festival ass presidency

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.
