The path back from burnout is so much longer than you can anticipate, and it gets harder the more it happens. Learning to be patient and kinder to myself has been a big process, and a year and a half later I'm still not back to where I once was.

Mmm, went a little too hard on my hands the last couple of days, so having to take a break from the workbench. Getting older is an exercise in patience and compassion

CW: Death, Grief

If you've got the emotional bandwidth, heavily recommend checking out @hmcd.bsky.social 's narrative game dealing with the death of her partner. It's beautifully personal, and takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and put that out there.

hi everyone. while the industry's still hellbent on calling anyone who makes /weird/ games "not a real dev" @baftagames.bsky.social decided that maybe people making things with three quid and a piece of string know what they're talking about, actually

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

1/3 of all gamers quit playing games all together because of toxic communities
What would happen to a restaurant if 30% of their customer revenue walked out the door and never came back?
Grand Closing!!

We literally can’t afford to allow bad players to terrorize our communities.
We openly blocked bigots, racists & homophobes on social channels for one project. The result? Huge social channel growth, record MAU, positive sentiment shift.

By avoiding challenging the tiny sliver of the toxic players, you're sacrificing the retention of your larger audience

"Studios don’t want to address toxicity against their employees because they see it as confronting the dark sides of their community, which they believe is a core demographic."

Yep, pretty much. Even in the face of quantifiable evidence to the contrary.

Moving abroad is a lot of hard work. It's challenging, especially if you struggle with things like social anxiety (it me), and has so many little 'you don't know what you don't know' little surprises along the way.

I still think it's absolutely worth it if you have the opportunity and means.

Year o' the Snake wrapping up on Feb 16, 2026. I've done enough painful metaphorical skin shedding this year, thank you.

Then onwards to Horsie Year, which I refuse to refer to in any other way.
