After thinking my cold turned sinus infection was finally done, it hit me with a second wave last night. One goodie bag of steroids later, let’s see where we land. 💪

Figured I might as well get a face piercing before I turn 40 in a couple years.

Usually it's the kid who wants to make games. Sarah's mum was the believer. Sarah needed convincing. Find Dev to Dev here: linktr.ee/DevToDev . . . . #gamedev #gameindustry #gamedesign #podcastclip #gamedevelopment

She went to marketing, came back to Production, and the round trip gave her a barometer Sarah's used ever since: is it the role giving as much as I'm putting in? Find Dev to Dev here: linktr.ee/DevToDev . . . . #DevToDevPodcast #producer #gameindustry #careertips #gamedevelopment

What’s your gaming hot take? Mine? 10-12 hours is an underrated sweet spot for game length. More games in this zone please.

I’ve had more of an appetite for playing games lately than I have in a long time. The other night I finished Open Roads and wowie that one gave me a jaw drop moment. Last night I started Cabernet, and I’m already obsessed.

I’ve been studying The Heroine’s Journey (as opposed to the more widely recognized Hero’s Journey) for a game I’m working on, and… I don’t understand how I’ve gone so long without exposure to this framework? I went to school for English…?! It’s honestly baffling me.

Take a look at gameplay from Songs of Glimmerwick, a story-driven witch academy RPG that's like Stardew Valley set in a Harry Potter-esque world.

I finished Perfect Tides: Station to Station last night and, just, wow - what a great experience all around. There were so many moments that had me In My Feels. But honestly I’ll never forget cry-laughing during the karaoke scene. Congrats to @meredithgran.com and the team on a job well done!

I love everybody making their yards into bee habitats for many reasons, but right now mostly because it made the phrase “your ass is grass and I’m gonna put bees in it” pass through my mind

I had my first social interaction at The Gym today. I was doing cable kneeling crunches - which I don’t think I enjoy, but I wanted to try - and some magical Gym Fairy man appeared in front of me, threw a knee pad down before me, and walked away. That’s the kind of gym bro I can abide. 💪🏻

I tried making homemade mayonnaise today. It looked perfect. Recipe was easy. BUT. I used a different oil, and I learned something. Apparently, blending olive oil can release its inner bitters… making this the WORST mayonnaise in the world. 😭

Seeing some photos of friends at GDC is giving me a little bit of renewed hope in our industry. Even if it’s … an absolute shit show right now… there’s so many good people lifting each other up and trying to keep going and stay creative. That’s gotta mean something.

This is definitely not the right place for a complicated cultural musing/wandering thought at 7:30 in the morning but here we go. I’ve found myself over the past decade afraid to speak up about poor treatment/service because I’ve over corrected based on our anti-Karen culture.
