Happy Renegades Day to all who celebrate! 💫 I’m truly so proud of the work we did on this one and haven’t been this personally excited for something I’ve worked on to come out in a long time. The day is finally here! ❤️

Hubs and I wanted to go to the movies. Knives Out was sold out so we saw Rental Family instead. Reader, we got the better deal.

Really curious if whoever selected the TGA nominees actually played South of Midnight because if they had, it wouldn’t have only been nominated for “Games for Impact.” Which imo that category in itself is just another performative copout but hey what do I know 🤷

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.
