Someday @mcstressy.bsky.social and I will get to work together again and the world will have to deal with that energy

Wow do I hate that Wegovy is using 'This is Me' from Greatest Showman in their ads now. I don't even LIKE this song - but what message are we sending to impressionable folks with this?? That song is all about looking different and feeling confident in your difference. But no. Get sk1nny, l0serz

Friends I beg of you Just ask the question Don't tell your life story Just Ask The question

Aayy it's Kyra McStressy back out here at GDC with ~stressed~ ribbons yet again I'm a senior producer working in games for 5 years across many team types from AAA to AA/Indie. When I'm not producing other people's creativity, I'm reading, crafting, & annoying my cats #whatagamedevlookslike

Pokemon out here reinventing Hit Clips

Some of my favorite people. So fortunate to be a part of this wonderful group and the community they've fostered 💖

Hope to see some of my SoCal based friends tomorrow! ✨

Hi yes hello when is it that can I go back to just being 'whelmed'?

My book total for the year is currently at 121 Which means I've officially achieved The Goofy Movie number

Do you like buzzwords with very little meaning? Do you like arbitrary structure changing for clout? Do you like the amalgamation of all pass types into one "dramatically lower priced" full pass without any data or numbers to support that claim? That's the NEW FESTIVAL babyyyy

Wow yeah reading stuff that is Good(TM) has really messed up my sleep schedule for real My brain is baffled by the lack of mediocrity I was inadvertently using as a substitute for melatonin

Yeah, no. I'm a contractor, I write for games, and sometimes that means writing 100% of a game's text. I'm a valuable part of the team! Contractors aren't just "support", they deserve to be credited (and treated) better than this

You'll never believe how this newly-released BABY was made! - only nine months development time - solo female developer! (with contractor help)

If you need me I'll be nonstop listening to my playlist of straight up screaming to combat the nonstop Rancid Vibes

Help! I Stayed up to finish a Really Good Book and It's 3 AM Now I Can't Sleep! A memoir

Capitalism is a scourge

Yesterday I was talking about my utter madness instilling love for Soul Calibur II and @georevilo.bsky.social instantly clocked that I was a Talim main and honestly I'm so glad I give that energy I feel vindicated in my vibes

It's a toss up between Castlevania 64 (the start of that game is terrifying to a 5-year-old) and Clanker from Banjo Kazooie (he HAUNTS me TO THIS DAY)

Self-deprecation? In my good Christian hellscape?

Yesterday I beat Banjo Kazooie for the first time in over a decade (by myself, might I add, be proud) and I gotta say... ...I don't hate Rusty Bucket Bay. And yes, my husband has already left me for saying that but I WON'T hide my TRUE FEELINGS

Nothing has been better for my mental health lately than watching a man rip barnacles off of crabs on tiktok

GDC talk proposal submitteeddd

I need these Sixt AI-generated Youtube ads to die. Like A) there's no way they're actually pulling in business, B) AI-generated content is terrible no matter the goal and C) they are UGLY as SIN and sound like GARBAGE

Guys there is hope

Reading a new book by a favorite author is all fun and games until you finish said book and all you can think about is that book for days and it ruins your entire existence because those characters AREN'T real but they CAN hurt you

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!" The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:

Hulk Hogan changed the game, but he was also a terrible human being. He's the reason why wrestlers couldn't unionize and get medical coverage. Like........ I feel like things would have been different if he hadn't been a piece of shit ass kisser. Lots of wrestlers would be alive now.

Sharon I bloody died Sharon. Sharon they sent me to bloody heaven. Where are the bloody flames Sharon. Sharon it’s all bloody choir music up here Sharon. Sharon for fucks sake all the white is bloody blinding me up here Sharon

Bookmark this skeet so that when the game inevitably falls short of "largest gaming release of all time" (because literally who could meet such a high bar???) and Rockstar says they have to lay off workers due to "falling short of expectations" we can safely say "you set them up for failure."

Starting new meds where they're the capsule pill type with the little bibbles inside so I'm basically eating tiny maracas to soothe my brain

Just finished Superman and the usher at Alamo Drafthouse asked the folks in front of us how they liked it. Then he goes "yeah I'm pretty over superhero moves. Unless it's BATMAN. I'll ALWAYS see Batman." Dude just wants to see Billionaire Perpetuates Male Loneliness Epidemic 12

I asked @ethangoose.bsky.social about mine and he said 1 - I eat cheese and pickle sandwiches (scrumptious) 2 - I eat food, and I quote, "in order" to which I screamed "THAT'S just AUTISM" and he said "Well it's WEIRD TO ME" I also eat artichoke hearts straight out he jar which *is it a crime*

Why does youtube think I can afford a yacht

Last 5 GoTYs: 2020 - Yakuza (7): Like a Dragon 2021 - Hades 2022 - Kirby and the Forgotten Land 2023 - BG 3 / SF 6 2024 - plz don't make me choose I'm just a lil guy 2025 - FANTASY LIFE i BABYYYYY

@miaginae.bsky.social McHyping me up

AHHH WE OUT HERE @zeestermeester.bsky.social

Come join us on June 28! I love this community so much and just look at this tamgotchi @dpandaheart.bsky.social made 😍

This trend about threading a movie you've seen more than 6 times with a gif is fun and all But also I uh I don't know if 6 times is supposed to be a lot Because to me It is not And that's probably not cool and groovy

Look at my friends~ PerkUp is such a joy and I'm so glad to be a part of this community 🩷 Shoutout to @dpandaheart.bsky.social & @brecruise.bsky.social for being such incredible organizers!

Also IMPORTANT: Good People Coffee's patio is under attack from corporate overlords - if you want this wonderful venue where we have Gamedev PerkUp to stay as gorgeous as it is, please support their "SAVE THE PATIO"✨ initiative!! 🩷 🌱 Go Fund Me Link: www.gofundme.com/f/help-goodp...

🎊 The Jackbox Party Pack 11 is coming later in 2025! 🎉 We are bringing five all-new games, featuring trivia, drawing, joke writing, social deduction, and sound effects! Learn more in this clip from the Jackbox Direct. youtu.be/sHey83S46Sk

Seeing a lot of genAI art used in the service of fascism lately

I'll get worried about genAI taking my job when the genAI can sit in on scope cutting meetings 😬
