31, she/her, likes odd music and games. bsc in geophysics. former qa and design at cyan inc. a true generalist at flesh and blood tcg, equally bad at every hero

update to this, the fire definitely got worse from this point but i and my roommates are okay. we probably won’t need to evacuate unless things get really nasty. i have heard many stories from friends who have lost their house or who know someone who did though, devatstating

big fire near spokane, this could be real bad. it even crossed our river towards the city proper. woke up to some alerts about being really bad conditions for a fire, and well they were right

3-0 on counterburn oscilio (and 2-1 in extra games), this deck RIPS. exactly what i want from a wizard, playing on their turn half the time and making people make tough decisions with their resources. sooo fun!

we were playing increasing tag (the one where you have to find if you get found) and a friend and i hid in the same spot without knowing. AND we weren't caught. grandmaster hiders

this was the first time i was in the design room for a game. this was SUCH a cool game with so many great ideas, and working on it made me learn both how much goes into design and how much i love designing. really glad we can at least show off this trailer, the acting is INCREDIBLE

Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc

the maxx deck is very funny because we have a local maxx enjoyer that was brewing something similar WAY before betsy was meta. this wasn't just a brilliant meta call, that's just what these sickos wanna do

had an incredible boltyn v jarl game where i won with 0 cards left because of a final hand of edict, roaring beam, blessing of bellona, and snatch when they were at 3, after a long game of beaconing for spirit and lining up flurry lumina turns

spent like 5 hours unsleeving a bunch of old decks, reorganizing my rares and majestics a bit, and filling up my trade binder again who wants to hire me to do menial organizing work, i'm really good at it

keynote was sick. loved everything i saw tbh. great aesthetic, cool mechanics, great news about organized play and future products. always thought i would not care about shadow necromancer but malice is SO COOL. zombie decay -> blood debt corpse that is hard to play -> go again when played??

remembered that strive added a cute martial artist chef character, jam, and spent the night playing her. she's so neat, the various jumps and stuff are super fun

alright, hit credits on "the message from deep space" in about 31 hours of playtime incredible game, definitely my game of the year so far, easy 10/10. the late game was a lil frustrating but i think the plan is to add more hints to smooth it out, fortunately be prepared for a big cry 😭

i love fighting games, but i’m cursed. my passing familiarity with them means none of my friends wanna play because they think i’ll win all the time (i won’t but they don’t believe me). but my social anxiety means i don’t wanna play with random people i don’t know so i don’t play them ;-;

today officially marks 1 full year of unemployment, minus some occasional part-time work to help get patch builds out the door back at my old job, which i am very grateful for. it's so tough finding a job in this market ;-; i feel like i've branched out pretty far too but just no bites

i stay in my room so much that my roommate said "i need to start introducing you like, 'this is my best friend, she theoretically exists'" i'm like an imaginary friend but real

about 40% done with the game at ~10 hours played, i think this is easily my game of the year so far. despite functionally being a linear book of puzzles, it feels so natural and immersive, and the pacing is perfect; stretches of slow, thinky bits punctuated by bombshells and new toys

store.steampowered.com/app/4080030/... this game is SICK. big recommend for any nerds that like really gritty, crunchy, mathy puzzle games, or saw the arecibo message/golden record and thought "fuck i wanna decode something like that so bad"

saw a very large moth in my room, no idea how it got there or how long its been there. i ran out to tell my roommate to get them to help, and when we walked back in, the moth was nowhere to be seen ;-; it prob flew out through my door, but genuinely feeling like i hallucinated it 😭
