Honestly it feels really bad that when we asked them to put their money where their mouth was, TGAs instead killed the entire Future Class program.

Read this. Read about this unparalleled evil that Israel spreads without accountability. Let the anger move you to speaking, to acting, to resisting, to voting. This cannot continue. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I have been learning Hiwatahia-Taino, the indigenous language of Boriken (Puerto Rico). For my language class final project, I localized a portion of a game I designed 2 years ago. I'm proud to say this the first time people outside our community are seeing it in a game!

Grateful to have had the opportunity to speak at the Google Building for Everyone Summit! I shared insights on the initiatives and impact Google Play and @latinxingaming.bsky.social have had on our community over the last few years on a panel with two powerhouses, Samia Zuber and Laila Shabir!

We're excited to announce GDC is hosting the first-ever State of the Game Industry panel at #GDC2025! Industry experts @elainegomez.bsky.social, Roshelle "Ro" Patterson, Gordon Bellamy, and @bryantfrancis.me will break down critical topics impacting the game industry. gdconf.com/news/gdc-202...

Four easy ways to catch a block from me post- game industry layoffs: 1. Insisting they go start an indie studio (with what funding, my dude?) 2. Trumpeting that you saw it coming (ok who cares) 3. Reminding everyone you didn’t like their last game 4. Obviously, being a dick

In 2017 we started Latinx in Gaming without expecting to grow into a 501c3 Non-profit organization - An email led to a GDC Panel. Panel led to online friends. Friends led to an E3 meetup. Meetup led to a Discord community. Community led to a Movement. You can organize - momentum is key

Had a screening call with a recruiter. I shared my salary expectations and what she pitched was not within range. Then she said, ‘Some people change their minds and come back. It’s not all about the money.’ Okay but also, I’m not taking a near 45% salary cut for a lateral move 🫠

Excited we’re hosting our first GGJ virtual site! We welcome anyone and everyone to participate!

Just got back to the states from being in Puerto Rico for 3 weeks. I got way with no bug bites for the entire time until my last day…I got 10 as a goodbye gift 🥲

Use your excitement and relief to help a Palestinian in Gaza today - share their fundraisers, donate, use this energy to help them survive. They have a long road ahead.

Thrilled to be able to publicly share that I will be leading Latinx in Gaming this year as the organization's President. Honored to have the trust of the rest of the cofounders, the board, and our staff to take our organization into a new chapter. I'm excited for 2025 and what's to come!

ANNOUNCING: Games & Resistance, a new podcast interview miniseries hosted by @chadtoprak.bsky.social and me. Episode 1, we interview Palestinian game dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about his work, including his current project, Dreams on a Pillow games-and-resistance.pinecast.co/episode/0356...

In Puerto Rico, Las Fiestas de San Sebastian (La SanSe) start on the 16th of January. It’s a big festival celebrating the island’s culture. In preparation, the mall is hosting an artisan alley. 2 years ago, I made a game about vejigante masks and today, I met the artisans whose work inspired me 🇵🇷❤️

America has a very, very weird - some might say highly corrupt and exploitative - prison model.

Game Devs of Color #GDC 2025 Scholarship is now LIVE! 💚💙 Excited to announce that #GDoCExpo is once again a part of the Game Developers Conference Scholarship Program! Apply: www.gamedevsofcolorexpo.com/scholarship

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories. www.polygon.com/gaming/50447...

Alright, you convinced me! Immerse yourself in the nostalgic charm of "El Pueblito", a sandbox adventure game that unfolds in the rural landscapes of 90s Michoacán, México. You control a 10 year-old boy who is visiting family while his parents are taking a business trip to Japan. #GameDev

I forgot how overwhelming it is to start from 0 on a new platform 😵‍💫 Hello friends, old and new!
