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 ✨

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.

So pretty 💖

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 1d

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 · 1d

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).

As personalized as someone who really dislikes soccer and has never signed up for paid sports subscriptions being force-fed premium soccer ads. Ymmv

Oh wow. I think I saw this one once in the theatre but thats it? It feels so meta 😂

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 2d

This is an awful capture but this is a great scene.

I love it! It doesn’t have the same epic peaks as other disaster movies and I suppose that’s why it might be lesser known? But it both has Very Silly stuff going on and great character scenes so it’s an awesome one in my book.

I was so confused for a second because of Star Trek

Some of them used to filter through when I was a teenager watching reruns of Star Trek on ABC I think. It felt a bit strange even then ngl

Right now I’m seeing the same shitty British-accent IMDb ad in the middle of episodes I’m watching, plus stupid ads at the beginning of episodes for premier league (you’d have to pay me to watch this).

Thankfully I think prescription drug ads tend to be illegal outside the US. I’m sorry.

The best kind of emotional support

Look we all have our own weird emotional support strategies 💙

I just need comfort disaster movies with me, ready to be watched as needed (as opposed to disappearing from streaming libraries).

Gotta have the option to cry when when Liv Tyler has that video call while daddy sacrifices himself y’know?
