Wish I knew more about the Guild Wars fan base. I suspect I may become more visible as a designer at some point in the future. What am I in for?

Reminder: The people who make your video games are humans. When attending Blizzcon as a dev they have a billion things demanding their attention. Not getting the exact reaction you wanted in this setting isn't an indication of how that might've gone in a quiet room with their full attention. Ffs.

Utterly ridiculous it spread like wildfire as it did. Terran has consistently time-after-time fought for inclusivity within Warcraft throughout his entire tenure at Blizzard.

I'll also note for the record Terran is one of my favorite people - a genuinely wonderful person who works really hard with all of us - the stuff that's being said about him is patently not correct so I'd appreciate it if people would stop talking smack about a dev who totally loves you guys

I don't know why I didn't expect complicated feelings around missing Blizzcon. I guess that's what it means to be carrying trauma around. Still glad that my friends and colleagues are getting what they wanted out of it- that's important! But man am I in a weird headspace today.

This will be the first Blizzcon I've missed since I started attending in 2010. I've disconnected from the Blizzard ecosystem in a way I would've found unimaginable even 3 years ago. Surprisingly little FOMO. Just hoping my friends are in for a great weekend. :)

This is especially meaningful to me because of how I left back in 2020. I had no hope that things could get better. Thank you so much for proving me wrong. Congratulations. Blizzard folks truly are some of the best in the business and now they have the breathing room to ply their craft.

I should make a new pinned post. Oh and update my LinkedIn. I guess a part of me has been waiting for the other shoe to drop so I didn't want to scream from the rooftops that I got a cool job. But I did. I really did.

Dylan is an excellent lead and designer and you'd be so lucky to get to work with him! Big opportunity for a junior designer. :)

Didn't like an indie game I picked up. It was 8 dollars. I am not going to refund it and I'm not going to leave a negative review. They worked hard to make the thing and I bought it and don't regret giving it a shot. Maybe the next thing they make will be more to my tastes. :)

It's much cooler today. I put away my dishes and loaded my dishwasher. My sink is empty. I made an amazing sandwich for lunch and cleaned up after myself so my kitchen is still clean. I'm mildly annoyed that this is such a mood boost lol

My remaining cat Winston has become such a vocal little beast. I'm curious... did I not notice it before or did Boswell stifle his screams? I get yelled at when I disturb him in bed. I get yelled at if I look at him across the room. I get yelled at if I pass near the food bowl. He screm.

Week 2 is going well. I really feel like I'm making a difference already. This team is so collaborative and open, right up there with the best teams I've ever worked with. Still very new, but I am swimming in a sea of green flags.

Mission and quest design is this weird cubby of design where you kinda need the whole game as a palette so you can paint something new with it. Developing a pipeline to get things made while the whole game doesn't exist yet is uh. Hard. This is in reference to every project I've worked on.

Happy to announce that today is my first day as a Senior Story Designer at ArenaNet, working on Guild Wars 3! I feel like I landed exactly where I was meant to, and I'm so eager to flex my design muscles again!

Tw: pet death Scheduling in home euthanasia like a dentist appointment. The lady on the other end was very sympathetic but it still felt profoundly strange. But it's happening on friday and having a date and time to say goodbye is priceless, in the end.

Tw: pet death. It is a remarkably compassionate thing, to plan a quiet and calm end for someone I love so dearly. I'm heartbroken but my boy deserves his dignity, in the end. He'll go in our home. In my arms.

I don't want to bring people down by making one of Those Posts, but finally got a diagnosis for Boswell. It's not good. Starts with c. Estimated less than a year left.

Honestly, a 6 inch cube that plays a huge chunk of steam games is fucking incredible. That price is Ouch but the tech behind it is cool as hell.

Love it when interviewers give me the information and opportunity to help them make their decision. Telling me why they're asking the question so I can speak to the core problem is so smart. I wish more folks involved with hiring would do that.

Lowered Boswell's dosage of the steroid per the vet's instructions and he's back to huddling in a little ball between meals... it looks like pain to me but I genuinely cannot be sure. I wish cats were more vocal when they need help. He hasn't put on a TON of weight but things are better-ish.

Couldn't sleep, but for once it's because my brain is full of ideas that I actually feel a need to write down. Am I really doing it? Am I gonna set out to make my own game? (Well I have the beginnings of a GDD so there's step 0 started I guess)

Been feeling really sorry for myself lately, and although I'm sure some of it has to do with external factors outside of my control (understatement), I feel like I've really been letting myself down a lot. So today I went on a 4 mile hike with my dog. I am exhausted but damn it I did SOMETHING.

Had a bit of a meltdown at the vet today while dropping my old man off for his cardio appointment. They had me sign a thing authorizing CPR and it kinda hit me how sick he is. I'll know more tonight after his echo.

Eldest cat is back to eating tiny nibbles of food at a time and barely drinking water. The skin pull test tells me he's hella dehydrated. We have a vet appointment on Thursday but I'm going to give my vet a call and see if I need to bring him in for fluids or an exam sooner.
