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 ✨

Having both read the book (once) and watched the movie (multiple times) I just have to say the obvious here. This is the one undeniable case where the movie > book.

(The Godfather also falls into this rare group)

I miss having little bowls of cream and milk cups available right on a table. The little ritual of stacking them into one another once emptied.

I would assume it’s tarte au sucre à la crème and yes it’s one of the superior options ✨

Those are razor sharp tentpoles of the problem space. Obsessed.

There already are enough people in game to populate a very decently sized city so… yep yep yep 😳

Ngl I think I started feeling like I sortof understood it after 80 hours, which is completely bonkers.

But also there was one playthrough where I managed to adopt a cat and a puppy, and the cat ended up murdering the puppy stealthily and I don’t know how to beat this.

We have several taste overlaps so let me propose something a bit left field: I didn’t think this would be for me but Crusader Kings 3.

There’s building, roleplay, surprises at every corner & enough interesting events that can entertain someone in need of some dark and cathartic humour at times.

🥺😔😩😞

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 2d

Omg!! Congrats Fuuka!

What perfect little left temple she’s showing off ✨

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 2d

Hope you have fun :)

Figures I had to get sick right before launch.

Ow, my tonsils.

So pretty 💖

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 3d

I know 😭
Looked like an emergency thing 😐

I’m secretly hoping I misread the notice

If not then my phone, kindle, laptop and Switch will be there. Maybe I should plug in the iPad as well.
Maybe I have an electronics problem. Just maybe.

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 3d

There was a notice on the front door of my apartment building saying the electricity will be cut off starting at 20h (savage) and I have rarely been so dedicated at charging so many electronic devices simultaneously (including a battery pack, ofc).
