Dear Traveller on a winter’s night, this week I found myself: 1. Outside the town of malbrok 2. Leaning from the steep slope 3. without fear of wind or vertigo 4. looks down in the gathering shadow 5. in a network of lines that enlace

The best two weeks of my life. I love her so much.

After listening to Jason Schreier’s ‘Play Nice’ about the history of Blizzard Entertainment I thought it couldn’t get worse. Kotick has GOT to face some consequences already!! What the fuck is this shit!?

Oh I did this btw :). Yippie. Now I should write another blog post on said website.

Can someone remind me to update my website and bio tomorrow. I’ve been working as QA at a local AA studio for a month now I’m a real QA games industry girl.

trans women are often sexualized as targets of shame & tools of pleasure simultaneously, so i tend to find that the ones who seem particularly oversexed haven’t fully processed how those habits can come from the learned fear that they’re a useless pervert if not seen as a prized sexual commodity. 🧵

And once they’re done devouring their meal what sacrifice will they ask for next? Death to America.

What's your favourite game made/directed/envisioned by a non-games person? i.e Penn and Teller's Desert Buss

Wish I was as DiGRA today instead of work. Games academia my time with you was short and undergrad level but I will always miss you.

We talk (rightfully) about how the lack of junior jobs is not nice and how it's bad people only want to hire seniors, but to put it in terms that execs might (might) listen to: There IS easy work on your project! Why are you paying senior wages for that! Pay a junior junior wages to make coin.fbx!

Hi I’m really scared for my loved ones and everyone else too. I love all of you. I’m so scared.

The Video Game History Foundation Library is now in early access. For free. For everyone. Wherever you are. Read more: gamehistory.org/vghf-library...

Hey now that people are trying to move back to chronological timelines, you are literally speaking over people by posting 100 random posts in 1 hour. Just chill a bit or expect people to mute or unfollow you.

So glad I started pivoting from narrative design in my second year. Great way to start making the switch is to try and make a game that *does* tell a story but without writing. Maybe your environmental designer pops out. Or your level designer. Or your gameplay designer etc. These too tell stories.

I would’a made a great Gen X’er

For what it’s worth my answer is drama and tension.
