Hey! I'm Gen 👋
I'm the Studio Art Director at DICE and a gamedev veteran of over 20 years.

I'm passionate about game development & creative leadership and like to post thoughts and advice on those topics occasionally. I'm also a house goblin, common nerd and like to write about anything really ✨

I don’t have those but I do have a lot of emotional support notes and random admin paper piles.
No I will not sort them.

I feel we’ve totally jumped the shark by not observing the sacred & time honoured October 31 to a November 1st switcheroo. I’m not one to cling to traditions, but on this? Yes, yes I’ll die on this hill.

hahaha yeah that's terrible

I'm not that bad with this at least:)

It's more the recovery phase. I find it really hard to gauge if I'm good to go.

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 2d

oh, no

I can't manage the transition period between "I'm dying therefore must take a sick day" and "good enough to work".

Someone fix me.

Don’t do what I do, do what I say, says the person home sick who still showed up to a meeting* while coughing up a lung.

*look it was important, ok?

Choices were made, regrets followed.

You know… I had completely forgotten about this bs thanks to 3 years of freedom, and yet

So it’s Thanksgiving Day in Canada and this is your reminder it is not “Canadian Thanksgiving.”

WE STARTED THANKSGIVING. Like most good things, Americans stole the idea off us.

It began in 1578 as a harvest celebration. It was an official holiday in 1879.

It remains a harvest celebration.

I’d really love it if people could spell the title “principal” correctly. On principle.

The same for pretty much any other product of theirs, starting with the website. Its UX is dismal and yet…

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 3d

YES exactly 👌

I’ve never had those so I can’t say, but what I had last night tasted and felt like hot dogs, unlike all the other hot dog lookalikes I’ve tried in Europe.

Sometimes when I need a lil pick me up I watch this timeless classic.
