iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The value proposition of working at an AAA studio was that you were trading independence and agency for stability, and that if the game did well, you would keep your job, and if the game did badly, you might lose it. Obviously it wasn’t that cut and dry, but you get it. Now? You just lose your job.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

It's been some time since I was at Bungie, but my heart goes out to all those being affected by these layoffs. You deserved better. 💔

Really wishing I could erase Outer Wilds from my brain and play it for the first time. Miss the feeling that game evoked.

A bit in disbelief, Destiny 2 played such a massive role in my career. I've met lifelong friends and mentors while working at Bungie and on this game. Sending gratitude and hugs to every single dev who contributed to the game and thanks to every gamer who joined us in Sol. 🌠

How does one stop hyper-fixating on conversations you had hours ago and you know no one else is thinking about but you cannot stop second guessing how you wrote things and are worried about how people are perceiving you? Basically, how do I stop giving a fuck. Sincerely, a tired people pleaser

The continued destruction and brain drain of the Video Game Industry continues to freak me the fuck out and knowing that I'm not in a position to do anything to stop it, doesn't help. Just constantly feeling like we're circling the drain. The anxiety just sits in your chest, all the god damn time.

I will absolutely watch three extremely mediocre films about dinosaurs to see more dinosaur content and Laura Dern. You can't stop me.

One of my writers told me my speaking cadence was: "To be fair you do speak at the pace of a burrow of rabbits that got into a bag of cocaine but that’s what we love about you" And I cannot disagree and I will be introducing myself with this subtitle henceforth.

The ratio of Game Dev to Hollywood actor presenting the actual awards during #TGA feels a bit skewed. That said, it's not as if we ever spend time on the actual awards part of this award show...

I just need y'all to know that I'm so Vitamin D deficient my doctor gave me a prescription for a supplement. The dosage: 50,000 I find this absolutely hilarious. I didn't even know prescriptions existed for vitamins or that they went this high.
