Got another "I don't like your game because Snorpy and Chandlo are gay" emails. If you are going to do this please remember Lizbert and Eggabell kiss in the first few minutes of the game and are gay gay lesbian gya gaaayyyyy. It's simple media literacy.

Hey, about three months later I am still looking for work. I have done senior level work, I’m comfortable owning zones, writing cutscenes, and environmental narrative. Open to working in other mediums as well.

It breaks my heart that Belinda had this done to her. Her imagination and drive are unparalleled. I didn’t get to work with her directly but being on the same team I know what an amazing writer she is and how hard she works. Hire her and she will give you stories you never seen before.

I've been so lucky to count Belinda as my friend before she was my co-worker, and it destroys me to lose her like this. She is such an amazing, thoughtful writer, and was such an immense well of positivity on our team. I love her dearly, and you should absolutely snap her up as soon as you can.

That meant we built a team full of caring, supportive people who could be vulnerable and take risks and create truly amazing stories together. I could be confident in my writing because I knew a group of incredibly talented writers had given me the support I needed to make something great.

The narrative team at Crystal? My dream people. We often joked that our team was where traumatized writers came to heal. @jstafford.bsky.social set the tone early: when we were hiring, we would look for writers who were better than we were and knew the job was not our life.

i was so, so fortunate to work so closely with hannah for the last few years. it breaks my heart that we’re now separated, but i know whatever team is lucky enough to pick her up will be getting a whip-smart, loving, talented writer that will inspire and support others endlessly 💞

✨🌙 eid mubarak, friends 🌙✨ this was my fourth time celebrating ramadan and it was by far the hardest. attempting to remain positive and reflective when so much pain and suffering occurs in our country and across the globe resulted in a heavier toll on the heart than before.

I'm not a fan of the narrative that "no one" was there to accept LIS: DE's award because I was in the audience that night and I would have gladly done it if given the opportunity. So often Black people are erased from our accomplishments and from the conversation. kotaku.com/life-strange...
