A lot of people looked at me funny when I said the thing I was most looking forward to in Toronto was Medieval Times but it lived up to the hype I had such a fun time 😄❤️

Films I watched on the flight to Toronto: 🥹 Eternity ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost lost me near the end but it ended right. I sobbed. 😄 Hi-Five ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny and fast-paced Korean action-comedy. Great cast! 😳 Honey Bunch ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Never thought I'd see a good horror romance. Unsettling, intelligent, challenging, realistic.

I was nervous finding the right person to voice our genderfluid Reaper was going to be a challenge but Sam nailed it! ❤️‍🔥 Basically everything was one take - that's how talented they were at capturing the character and context. Hear their talent yourself 👉 sabrinathestump.itch.io/grim-waters

I had full intentions to do little bluesky summaries of all the #GDC2026 talks/panels/roundtables I went to but then things got busy and social and I lost track of my thoughts 🫣 anyway I was at the GDC Awards tonight and had my first ever Chipotle burrito so guess which was the highlight of my day

The Digital Red Pen: From Draft to Edit to Triage #GDC2025 Couldn't agree more with Diandra Anne Lasrado: Since AI can't be trained on emotional context, it's only a tool to bolster productivity rather than replace. Creativity is unique to humans. We have intention and our mistakes are beautiful. 💗
