Gosh I wish I could create private locked accounts on here. The amount of anxious venting into the void I wanna do is strong. I'd do it on this acc but I'm absolutely terrified of being so vulnerable out in the open, especially to industry figures that I respect.

We’re so proud to have won Best EDI Initiative at the Develop Star Awards for the 2nd year in a row, plus some of our committee won Game Dev Hero awards! Congratulations to Anisa Sanusi, Jonas Gawe, Najmah Salam and Lauren Sears on their awards 🤩 Massive congrats to all the nominees and winners🎉

Also like, chubby / plus-sized folks posting nudity is SO important in queer (and furry) communities. I personally see it as a sign of protest, normalizing these body types against fatphobic norms seen in the community. We should love and celebrate our bodies instead of starving them.

One thing that has surprisingly improved my body confidence is regularly taking risque pictures of my body and sharing it with friends (consensually). Like??? I love this part of the queer community. I never thought people would find my body attractive, yet here we are.

Honestly it's taken me a while to realize that folks calling me "intense" or "too much" in general conversation is incredibly ableist. It's happened FAR too often in growing up and trying to build relationships with folks. Especially from a neurodiverse perspective. I'm so tired.

Reporting on the R* firings has meant multiple trips to London, Edinburgh & Glasgow over the last several months in order to be on the ground as the story developed. It's been a different style of video for us, with more frequent updates, rather than one big doc right at the end of the process.

In a first-time thing for me, I'm heading to Gamescom in August! I'm available for meetings, hangs, and catch-ups! Wanna ramble about video game trailers? I'd love to chat! Wanna take a stroll around the Chocolate Museum? I'll be there in a heartbeat!

This is probably the biggest moment of my life 😭 After 4 years, the Game UI Bible has finally launched for all the world to see. A 400+ page tome of Game UI/UX goodness, celebrating all the weird and wonderful intricacies of this field. I'm SO proud of this book, and for you all to read it!
