I shouldn’t let one crazy email get to me this much but I just want to make it clear: I obviously did not know. I found out at the exact same time as everyone else. It has been extremely difficult to deal with emotionally and I do appreciate everyone who’s reached out so much.

I got pretty personal with this one and hope you enjoy. I have to send big thanks to Chris and @metallicaisrad.bsky.social for being wonderful human beings to work with. On top of that @spookydoorway.com made an incredible game in The Séance of Blake Manor and everyone should get to experience it!

A lot of people have texted and messaged me asking how I’m doing. I really appreciate it, thank you. I’m so very sorry to all those affected.

I just wanna echo everyone and say Ashley is a rare singular voice in the space, bringing so much care, craft, and energy to everything she writes. If you don’t hire her you are literally dumb. Act now or forever miss out.

www.theguardian.com/games/2026/s... I haven't shared my work on here for a while because (gestures at the weird vibes) but I wanted to share the first of a series of articles I worked on at Pokemon Worlds for @theguardian.com. In this article, I spoke to a whole bunch of IRL Pokemon Professors.🥼🤓

I remember being at my old job when LIC announced this and feeling a little dubious and a lotta jealous. 5 years later I’ve been at LIC for the better part of 3 years and couldn’t imagine a better gig. What a pleasant anniversary ❤️

It's a miracle Nintendo didn't cancel the Fire Emblem series in the late '00s. Now, that patience (and investment) is being rewarded 10-fold. There might be a lesson in this.
