I blinked and suddenly I'm nearing 1K followers on here! Hello hello! I'm Jackie! I'm a game dev who focuses on community, communications, with a touch of marketing. I love RPGs, I'm coming into my own in the Star Wars space, and I love learning new recipes. I have a three legged dog named Parfait.

My dog, Parfait, laying on the couch with her front feet outstretched in front of her.

A PAX East panel I was a speaker on. I shared the stage with Noah Downs, Andy Lunique, and Brennan Bowers. All of us have big smiles on our faces.

A bowl of ramen I made from scratch. The ramen, not the bowl. Large slices of pork belly, four halves of soft boiled eggs, bok choy, enoki mushrooms and homemade noodles are resting in a dark pork broth.

A shot of me (masked) with my hand extended out and the other holding a blue lightsaber. Taken in front of the Millennium Falcon.

Parfait just climbed onto the couch. By herself. With only her one back leg to support her. I now have to rearrange the snack set up behind me 🥲

I should clarify that there are three other OG individuals who co-founded this group. The four of us started at Emerald Tavern and now we're about 170+ strong! 💪

You should join us one of these days! The hangout are at least monthly!

Can't believe it's been a year since we started our mahjong club. It's taken a very long time to find a community where I could create relationships with people who have similar cultural backgrounds. Who knew we would find a home in mahjong. Super blessed to have found(ed) this community.

Obviously I am biased but I dare say, it's a good game 😌

Jackie 🍳 @geekyfriedrice.bsky.social · 17d

perusing around the world in another view could essentially be looked at as developing a brand new world from the sky down (instead of the ground up lol). It's something I would love to see one day but it is a dream on a wishlist right now.

An example I can give is when you see zoomed out shots of say the Copero stronghold or the blba groves on Dantooine when we were announcing those areas. There was only so much distance to work with before getting into out of bounds of the area. So to create a new experience like -

Hey! Not a bother at all. To be honest, that sounds like a dream come true and something I would love to see myself. However, believe it or not, the world you see from the ground isn't always the same world you would experience in a skybox. It's the magic of video games.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

It is possible that the error pops up for different reasons for different scenarios. Before I tell you to reach out to support, have you updated all of your drivers and and doublecheck that the game is allowed through your firewall/av?

Circling back to this with a small woodburning update. I already posted a few of them, but I ended up the Hollow Knight, Batman, and Fallout pieces, but I got nuts over the weekend and finished two more to add to the Extra Life set!

Pushing the Pokemon set to the spring for my next event.

Woodburning of some Hollow Knight art. About 7.25" by 10"

Woodburning of art inspired by Batman the Animated Series. 7.25" x 12"

A woodburning of a Power Armor design from the Fallout games. Roughly 8" by 10".

Omg, there's a second floor now???

Last night was magical. Highly recommend seeing this show in person if you can. You know I had to bring out Abigail. If you missed out on tickets, they did release Festival of Seasons on various streaming platforms. It's fantastic. open.spotify.com/album/7m5t0e... #stardewvalleyconcert

A wide shot of a stage of musicians. There is a large monitor above center stage titled "Stardew Valley Symphony of seasons". There are also instructions to scan a QR code to vote for your favorite Stardew Valley character.

Don't worry, I played Octopath traveler in hard mode without even intending to do so. I got to one of the very last bosses before I found out that jobs existed. That's a system that allows your characters to learn other skills so you can mix match your party a little bit. I was so mad lol 😑

So! With all of that aside, I cannot give you a definitive answer as to whether that change will be done or not but know that we do see the request and we have talked about it in detail.

(also sorry for the wall of text. I just like talking about this stuff 😅)
