Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 16/08/2026www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Whqehq/ somehow this post is still getting comments and interactions. Honestly I have never seen a more wholesome set of comments on the internet. 🥹tiktok.comQuick simple guide on how to find my Mom’s memorial on E-District in Apex Legends. #easteregg #memorial #apexlegends TikTok video by tyler 160
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 16/08/2026Here’s my dog Murphy! He’s an 11 year old Australian Shepard who loves to play. He’s actually an Easter Egg in the last two games I’ve worked on (Apex Legends and Rocket Arena)! 110

Reposted by Tyler Owenscheese @cheeseplus.biz · 13/08/2026no co-op game has ever put all the players into the same emotional wavelength so intentionally and effortlessly - it feels as if we all took a psychedelic substance at exactly the same time, experiencing the same joy, and being closer for it 1133
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 13/08/2026I was actually going to message the group that today saying that I feel the same post-trip depression I get after a con, LAN, or trip with old friends. 010
Reposted by Tyler OwensAdam Bromell @adambromell.info · 13/08/2026Finished Big Walk with my gaming group yesterday. Best of that genre we’ve played, and one of my favourite games in decades. Play it end to end with the same group if you can. You’ll land on feelings games don’t usually give you, but life does. I woke up still emotional about what we did together 1166
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 13/08/2026shout out to @cheeseplus.biz @lizaledwards.bsky.social and @adambromell.info for the memories 040
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 13/08/2026I just beat Big Walk last night and I cannot stop thinking about it... hands down one of the best gaming experiences of my life, I literally sobbed when it was over. It perfectly captured the feeling of taking an unforgettable trip with friends before saying goodbye and parting ways. 11/10 1281

Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 25/07/2026No I agree with you it sucks, just was trying to ask if that’s what you meant or not because I wasn’t sure the goal. 100
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 25/07/2026So, the individuals devs are responsible for not shipping a game and therefore their layoffs are justified vs the studio heads being responsible for not having a plan on how to leverage and direct the resources they manage towards a goal? Is that your point? 120
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 24/07/2026So this sudden response is unexpected but my family has seen it and are simply happy that more people know about the amazing woman my mother was. That’s all I care about. 2120
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 15/07/2026I’ve talked to multiple vets working in AAA and a few of us have agreed that working in a studio can feel like being in the trenches because “survival” of almost all of those around you depends on blood, sweat, tears, good luck, and proper execution. Hell, the game dev community is trauma bonded. 130

Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 25/04/2026hi friends I am posting on the internet to prove I am alive and share photos of Murphy. Life is good (somehow) and I’m focusing on being where my feet are. I’ve learned a lot recently and understand the world, technology, my experience, and their relation. The grass is worth touching. 2291
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 16/09/2025Americans… please process and recognize that you’ve already lost your freedom of speech and so much more. 1131
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 30/08/2025the link between misogyny and homophobia is CRAZY bc if these incels just realized and accepted that men are basically terrible instead of somehow superior they’d presumably realize all their self hatred is a result of knowing this and being sexually attracted to men anyways 🤣 160
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 30/08/2025Talk to the veterans in your life. I promise you that no matter where they fall on the political spectrum they know what’s happening. We’ve been the part of a hostile invasive force and the playbook is the same. 😕 070
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 30/08/2025I’m not proud of this fact… but the modern police in the US interact with citizens in exactly the same ways we interacted with local nationals in Afghanistan while I was in the Army. And we were up to NOTHING good. You cannot serve or protect a group of people you treat like the enemy. 1171
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 29/08/2025Or really… a hundred of the things this game just does so invisibly well… 040
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 29/08/2025Or how it stands out in the modern AAA landscape because it is software built (primarily) to make the most of specific console hardware or how its design leans into the unique platform architecture and leverages the SDK to implement features that culminate in a truly next-generation experience… 150
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 29/08/2025I could gush for days about the nuance and depth of Sam’s character controller and just wish I could take a peek at the source 😭 140
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 29/08/2025I finally beat the first game this month and after only 50 hours in Death Stranding 2 I feel I can confidently say — with my entire chest — it’s a technical marvel, a master class in game design, and one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. What an absolute masterpiece. 172
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 28/08/2025LETS GO! It started for me with learning how to care for one plant to prove that I could and slowly adding. I finally accepted that many will die but I’ll learn from it and now I have ~52 potted plants… 😬 010
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 28/08/2025I’ve redirecting my time, energy and attention to growing something real in the real world and I do not regret it one bit. 030
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 28/08/2025Turns out I didn’t know how to properly water plants until I was 36 years old but hey… I finally figured it out. My Dahlias have been crushing it lately. 💪 3230
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 07/07/2025I have decided that I want to be a stay at home husband, I’m tired of working 🤣 5300
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 06/07/2025Anyways, I’m alive I’ve just been doubling and tripling down on my well-being lately. I’ve been in psychotherapy weekly since February and it’s really helping me, I’m just saying off the internet as much as I can. 3180
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 06/07/2025Something that’s been really eating at me lately is that I’ll never know the person my Mom gave her life trying to protect. They died together and I know nothing but his name and that she cared for him deeply. I hope he’s with her wherever they are. 2240
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 22/06/2025I’m so fucking tired of American politicians “bringing peace to the Middle East” via missile strikes 0170
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 08/06/2025I’m not really an achievement/trophy hunter in games so for me, acquiring them is an outcome of me enjoying a game so much I try to experience every aspect of it. I’ve only ever done it 6 times on PlayStation but Expedition 33 is on that list! 1121
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 08/06/2025So I’ll say out loud… Players want games envisioned and led by people who… ACTUALLY FUCKING PLAY THEM. Those who care about games second and financial success first don’t fit that bill. 091
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 08/06/2025In an era when gamers are rallying against AAA publishers because of how they water down the things they love to avoid risk and maximize profit I think this part is important. 150
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 08/06/2025it’s special, because you can SEE and FEEL the shared connection to the games that inspired the devs behind it. Because there’s not some gigantic publisher or IP trying to abstract the individuals out of the thing they publish. It feels persona, inspired and REAL as a result. 130
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 08/06/2025I think for me it highlights what I believe is one of the most under recognized aspects of great games and art… the connection to a human on the other side of it. Sure, a 33 person dev team making a game of this quality IS impressive but that’s not what makes it special… 140
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 08/06/2025So I let it simmer before allowing myself to say so but Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is an actual masterpiece. I’ve beat it twice in a row, once on expert, and even after 130 hrs of play time I want to start it over again. 1150
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 05/06/2025I’ve been doing some exploratory game dev in Source 2 using sbox.game and man does it get me excited about the idea of the next generation Valve first-party titles.sbox.games&box 1101
Tyler Owens @heyt.red · 05/06/2025Your average politically disengaged millennial in their 35th year of life during unprecedented times… “No way that would or could happen there’s no precedence for it.” Oh brother… 190
Reposted by Tyler OwensLuke Plunkett @lukeplunkett.com · 21/05/2025wanna know why whole studios get sunk following dead ends? because they listen to guys like this, who react to things and think thats trending data instead of understanding the fundamental heart of both game dev and customers: games are chaotic miracles, and there IS no blueprint 922817
