I'd love to say I hope everyone lands on their feet every time there are layoffs in games media, but there's quite literally nowhere out there to land. I, of course, wish nothing but luck to everyone, but we desperately need to address the core issue of sustainable jobs in this space.

Aaaand I got rejected a month later 😩 I'm so sad, I really liked the team
Made it through a full interview cycle and I want to cry, the people who interviewed me were all so awesome, I felt so comfortable chatting with everyone, I really hope I get this one 😭🤞

On a more positive note I keep finding ways to add more plants to my garden 😌

On top of everything, last night a guy tried for over 20 mins to break into my apartment and continued trying the entire time I was waiting for police to arrive, really scary situation... whoever put a curse on me needs to realize they've won already and leave me alone 😅

Back in my old hometown of Modesto, CA for my mom's funeral 😓 it's hard being "home" like this and mom not being here... writing her obituary was also really hard

So sick of games industry bullies, you're not cute or clever, you're grown adults playing elementary school games.

Despite the immense grief I'm feeling I'm still getting a lot done, still doing client work, have 2 interviews this week, and am working to sell a bunch of stuff to be able to afford traveling to CA in 2 weeks for my mom's funeral

Would love a games industry that's stable and doesn't lay people off every week, that'd be so rad

One of the joys working at Prima in the past was working with Jesse. He's a phenomenal writer, a natural on camera, true team player, and would make a fantastic addition to any team.
I was laid off from Restart today, alongside my wonderful and talented co-workers. Sucks to write, but here we are.

Lots of ways you can help, but I'm currently live with a lay-off subathon where you can come and chat and sub to keep the timer going to give me some cash

Having to cancel job interviews this week because my mom died and I'm crying too much to be in an on-camera interview really is 2026 in a nutshell for me, worst year of my life by far

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game

I found out this morning that my mom passed away. We didn't have the best relationship and it's really eating at me. Despite everything, I loved my mom. She was my only parent growing up, and she did the very best she could for me. It's going to be really hard moving forward in life without her.
