A very happy birthday to the fantastic & lovely Direwolf20!! I miss you & hope we can hang out again at some point!

Also, I’m at #GDC & having a blast with the amazing folks Arsht-Rock Resilience Center!

Games have an untapped potential to drive climate resilience. Our new report “Gaming for Climate Action: The strategy guide for designers, developers, and publishers” is a critical resource, providing insight into how we can make powerful climate games. 🎮 bit.ly/3VmA4SH

🚀 We're off to #GDC2024 ! Nidhi Upadhyaya and Shayne Hayes are on the ground in San Francisco for GDC. Stay tuned as they share live updates from the conference, giving you a sneak peek at all the innovative solutions and the future of climate games! 👉 bit.ly/3wFnuRd

Clerith shippers (diehard fans who want Cloud & Aerith to be together in #FF7 ) must be big mad now. 😂 That community is so cult-like—it’s bizarre.

In other news, Wes is absolutely destroying everyone in #QueensBlood 102-0!

YASSSSSSSS!!!!!

This is one of the reasons why good community management is ESSENTIAL in #gamedev . Game developers should never be expected/required to do community management—that is a huge failure of the game studio’s management.

Engagement ring #1. My alters could not decide on one so we are getting multiple & will switch. At least we decided on one wedding band though! Wes proposed over the holidays. 💜

Wedding is likely sometime in October.

We'll post about it properly tomorrow, but I have an open position on the Marketplace Team! We're working on two absolutely MASSIVE projects and have an incredibly busy year, and could use a talented Minecraft Mechanic to help. Please apply!

This map was truly a labor of love from all of us Syclone Studios! Awesome dinosaur action! 🦖🦕

This is the 7th #Minecraft #HourOfCode I’ve worked on but the first one where I’ve written the dialogue! 🎉

Everyone did such an awesome job on this year’s map!

Hey Dragon Age fans, how many pancakes tall is the official cookbook?

Well... my heart is breaking for all affected

I am now looking for opportunities. I have 21 years of games industry experience in media, production, and community management. I'm processing,I'm so heartbroken. I don't know what to do from here... this was my home. I feel so lost

Community managers/social folks need to be one of the best paid, most appreciated members of a company. You know how hard it is to essentially be the public face/voice of an entire game with millions of players, 24/7? They're enormously important

People that celebrate layoffs are evil. Plain and simple. This year came with stress you wouldn’t believe, including cancer that I never shared with anyone. To those going out of their way to be cruel, i hope the world shows you some kindness so you can remember your humanity.

Remember, drink your water, practice that self care, and ALWAYS lead with your kindness foot forward.

“I should go”

Proud of what I got to be a part of (accessibility award of the year earlier this year, HELLO!?) and so proud of the teams I got to work with.

Going to take a 24 hour reset and then back to it, but thanks for letting me get these thoughts out. Wouldn’t trade anything.
