Kinda digging this who boho vibe. Comfy and cozy ☺️ I need longer pants.

I've learned that as long as I use math to make my art instead of artistic skill, I'm actually kind of okay at making stuff for my game. #gamedev #indedev #cantaffordhelp

I want to she/her but I don’t want to gender. Does that make sense to anyone?

Do ADHD meds could as performance enhancing drugs for coders?

I believe this breaks the Geneva Convention. Well played

No you’re crying at fast and furious

Understanding bra sizes much better has made me realize my boobs aren't actually small

I kind of hate that I like working in Unity. It's great to work in, but Unity the corporation kind of sucks. I love C#, I like the workflow. I love everything about Unity except for Unity themselves.

I should have gotten another tattoo for 2 years on HRT.

Whoever put together the Mortal Kombat 1 Definitive Edition trailer dropped the ball here. It's spelt Kollection! Literally unplayable.

Seeing all these games that clearly had millions pumped into it, years of work, hundreds of people, and years of planned support, that shut down after less than a year will always make me sad. It also shows the terrible state of the industry. Way too much money being pumped into the wrong places.

Friend of mine has been putting this game together. He’s getting closer to getting it out soon! It’s looking pretty awesome! (I may or may not be in this trailer)

Doom tickles my brain in a way no other game quite manages

Idea! Soccards. Gimme a minute.

I made buttons. They beep and boop, but silently until you make them do that.

Do I take this out of my cover letter? I'm starting to get desperate... "As a transgender individual, I am deeply passionate about LGBTQ+ issues and am committed to leveraging my platform within the gaming industry to advocate for and share diverse and inclusive stories."

Oh yes give it to me! My body is ready!

Launch the Slayer

Who's ready to fuck up some demons?!

One of the things that made it hard to come out was that I had this feeling that I could only come out once. I get one chance to decide if I'm trans or bi or whatever, and that's that, so I couldn't be wrong.

Question for game dev! When you play the game you work on, do you turn analytics on or off? #gamedev

Omg I worked with the most amazing people ever. Our team hasn’t even existed for over a year. They just told me theyre helping to fund my trip to Gamescom to help out! I can’t stop crying! Holy shit these people are amazing!

I want to make a game that tells a trans story, but I'm not a writer and only have like bullet points of ideas. - Character creator, but your character is different when you start (ie: you create a woman, you start as a man). - Real world and fantasy world you travel between.

One of my egg breaking moments was meeting a trans woman for the first time and feeling jealous. That took a lot of unpacking.

How do you find out about after parties and whatnot at Gamescom? I'm researching all this so I'm prepared for everything, but it's still my first trade show, and it's scary! #indiedevs #indiegamedev #gamedev

Transition milestone/Humble brag/I need a job moment: All my bras are too small.

Gender really is some weird shit. I wanna be a genderless blob who's also femme. So like, femme but also genderless and blob like.

Friend of mine said she kind of figured I was autistic and trans like a year after meeting me. That’s like 3 years before I figured it out. Am I really that oblivious 🤣

Looks like ya girl is going to Gamescom! Okay time to learn how to do this networking thing. Any tips? #indiedev #gamedev

Bye bye Gura <3 We'll miss you <3

He's still allowed to go to the House of Commons, he just needs to sit in the cuck chair and watch in silence.

I don't think the output of gen AI like Midjourney or ChatGPT is or ever will be art, but I do think there's a discussion to be had about the AI itself. I do think that tech and code can be art.
