Decided to doodle a mouse! Part of my new year resolution to do something creative every day and not let perfectionism get in the way

Date night with @meesh-codes.bsky.social ❤️

Cozy little afternoon with chill music on whilst I repair the hole in my duvet cover 😌 so ready for the colder weather

If nothing else, I resent AI companies/integrations for ruining the ✨️ emoji

Coming out of my raccoon hole to say that maybe everything is gonna be okay

Just need to repost this again. Greatest productivity hack you can ever do, and good for peace of mind at the same time. Just Create Everything else will follow. Yes, really.

Beyond honoured to be up for Game Dev Heroes finalist in Leadership 🥹 Amazing to see others up there from TKG and some familiar faces of @staarland.bsky.social @malloryog.bsky.social @holliepage.bsky.social !! 🎉

Finally

Rolled credits on Blue Prince, absolutely loved it. Loved it for the same reasons I love board-building games and rogue-lites. The ending ties things together so well!

Got official confirmation today that I'm not being made redundant. My heart still breaks for my colleagues that did have to go, though. I hope everyone lands on their feet. A bittersweet day

GDC? Oh yeah I'm Going to Drink a Cunty iced coffee 💅

Follow for more life hacks

I am still working my way through all the folks who reached out to me for this, but the offer is perpetually open. I want to help however I can.

Things are shit, but we take it a day at a time. Appreciating the little things. Drew a little leaf in my coffee this morning 🍃

If anyone has any tips and tricks for how to get through redundancy - or knows of any roles available for someone who has a decade of Marketing experience and a mortgage to pay, I would appreciate it ❤️

Unfortunately, I found out today that my role is likely to be at risk of redundancy, so if anyone knows of anywhere hiring for a gameplay programmer in the UK, please send them my way! Link: www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ubi...

*gets out of bed* My knees:

I was stuck in Inverness late last night waiting for a delayed flight, and in my sleep deprivation, I drew this. Enjoy lmao

Off to Scotland for Christmas with this cutie! @kirstysays.bsky.social Let's goooo 🛫

Discovering Completely On Purpose and NOT because I Didn't Have Tape that glue sticks actually work super well for gift wrapping!

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen. We just want to make cool stuff for people. #indiedev #gamedev

I officially have the best workout buddy ❤️

Playing Undertale for the first time! Anyone have any recommendations on how you play through it? I've heard pacifist runs are the way to go

Watching Agatha All Along and WandaVision at the same time and somehow the two shows are spoiling each other, quite impressive tbh!

The thing that really gets me is that the IWGB Game Workers Union Manifesto is such a reasonable document. Almost every single line in this document is "oh yeah that'd be good, why don't we have that?" www.gameworkers.co.uk/manifesto/

The way I have to mask my disgust when my son brings me a fly he caught 😂 he was so proud of it, can't break his little heart

✨ Hocus Pocus, I cannot focus ✨ #cuteart #illustration #cat

We weren’t meant to thrive in a fast paced work environment we were meant to collect berries in the summertime and lie down for a whole day after mistaking the bad orange mushroom for the good orange mushroom

every night before bed i recite the lgbt agenda to myself let’s go big titties

Best friendships are the ones where you can go "hey dude I'm sorry I forgot you existed" and they go "yeah me too" and then you carry on and chat/catch up ✨️

So happy with where this year's going so far ✨️ getting my shit together like it's never been before. Putting in the work to grow. Letting people in. Looking forward to what comes 🙌

I'm looking to speak to game devs who were laid off or whose companies had layoffs in the last 12 months about the reasons their companies gave them for those layoffs. Would be for a piece on IGN. Please reach out via email or Signal (in bio) - can keep folks anon if desired.

“trans agenda” is how Super Mario would say transgender

Last year, (with the help of Gabriel who's not on here) I put together a survey to understand who was impacted by redundancies. To no surprise, marginalised people were more likely to be impacted. I took some time to compare it with the Ukie census, starting with gender: (🧵1/ 6)

Post the kind of energy you're going into 2024 with

This year has been a mixed bag for me: - Got an award at work 🎉 - Lost 15 kg ✨️ - Lost my sunshine boy 💔 - Was socially isolated/in a dark place for a while - Got a new kitten 🐈‍⬛️ - Got promoted at work 🎉 - Moved to Newcastle🎉 - Made room for new people in my life ❤️ Glad it's ending on a high note

Hello yes I'd like to speak to the person who made the default units in Unreal centimeters and not meters

You telling me a gay made this apparel? Omg take my money

New keyboard with the good click clacks is making work so good today

Unclear if all this UK visa business applies to only new visas, or if they're kicking out anyone making below the threshold. If it's the latter I'm fucked. I will literally lose everything

If you see this share an image from your phone without explaining it

hey, you know what they say: when the going gets tough, the tough develop dissociative coping mechanisms that remove them from the reality of the world around them

Protect your kids this Halloween

I'm nonbinary so I can get IVF on the same day as the proof of purchase I'm sorry W H A T

what it means when I text my friends: I’m thinking about you and reaching out because I like feeling connected to you what I text my friends:

Found this ambiguous plant growing out of my sink lmao let's see what happens

Artemis really said we're spooning this morning 🥺
