All/Any pronouns Senior Producer @ Jackbox Former: Riot (League PC) i read a lot my cats are potatoes
Wow do I hate that Wegovy is using 'This is Me' from Greatest Showman in their ads now. I don't even LIKE this song - but what message are we sending to impressionable folks with this?? That song is all about looking different and feeling confident in your difference. But no. Get sk1nny, l0serz
Friends I beg of you Just ask the question Don't tell your life story Just Ask The question
Aayy it's Kyra McStressy back out here at GDC with ~stressed~ ribbons yet again I'm a senior producer working in games for 5 years across many team types from AAA to AA/Indie. When I'm not producing other people's creativity, I'm reading, crafting, & annoying my cats #whatagamedevlookslike
Some of my favorite people. So fortunate to be a part of this wonderful group and the community they've fostered ๐

Hi yes hello when is it that can I go back to just being 'whelmed'?
My book total for the year is currently at 121 Which means I've officially achieved The Goofy Movie number

Do you like buzzwords with very little meaning? Do you like arbitrary structure changing for clout? Do you like the amalgamation of all pass types into one "dramatically lower priced" full pass without any data or numbers to support that claim? That's the NEW FESTIVAL babyyyy
The vision deck for the new GDC is confounding. I don't know who any of this is for, but it's certainly not game developers eager to learn. ubm.ent.box.com/v/GDC26-FoG-...
Wow yeah reading stuff that is Good(TM) has really messed up my sleep schedule for real My brain is baffled by the lack of mediocrity I was inadvertently using as a substitute for melatonin
Yeah, no. I'm a contractor, I write for games, and sometimes that means writing 100% of a game's text. I'm a valuable part of the team! Contractors aren't just "support", they deserve to be credited (and treated) better than this
You'll never believe how this newly-released BABY was made! - only nine months development time - solo female developer! (with contractor help)
If you need me I'll be nonstop listening to my playlist of straight up screaming to combat the nonstop Rancid Vibes
Help! I Stayed up to finish a Really Good Book and It's 3 AM Now I Can't Sleep! A memoir
Yesterday I was talking about my utter madness instilling love for Soul Calibur II and @georevilo.bsky.social instantly clocked that I was a Talim main and honestly I'm so glad I give that energy I feel vindicated in my vibes
It's a toss up between Castlevania 64 (the start of that game is terrifying to a 5-year-old) and Clanker from Banjo Kazooie (he HAUNTS me TO THIS DAY)
What was the first video game that scared you? It doesn't have to be a horror game. Maybe you didn't even play it -- plenty of ads freaked me out as a kid.
Self-deprecation? In my good Christian hellscape?
Yesterday I beat Banjo Kazooie for the first time in over a decade (by myself, might I add, be proud) and I gotta say... ...I don't hate Rusty Bucket Bay. And yes, my husband has already left me for saying that but I WON'T hide my TRUE FEELINGS
Nothing has been better for my mental health lately than watching a man rip barnacles off of crabs on tiktok

I need these Sixt AI-generated Youtube ads to die. Like A) there's no way they're actually pulling in business, B) AI-generated content is terrible no matter the goal and C) they are UGLY as SIN and sound like GARBAGE
