Ah sorry, I'm not an avid Bluesky user. Am keeping up on Discord for current gig and that's challenging enough!

My first Crossplay piece was published today!
I don't often get to write about my kids and because @crossplayblog.bsky.social is a community at the intersection of parenting and games, it's such a lovely way to blend my personal and professional life.

Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply. Too many channels for me!
My “Scavenger Hunt Tutorial: Applying Game Design Fundamentals” talk for Full Indie is now live if you wanna watch. Momming meets game development.

It’s 12 minutes long!
My friend Alex Carey and I made a game!
Have you ever woken up shivering after kicking off your covers in the middle of the night? “As the Fire Dies” is a text-based fantastical adventure through a dream world that feels the effect of a “real life” fire.
20-30 min!

Many thanks to the Canada Media Fund's Now & Next for giving me the platform to say what I wanted to say.
If my GDC talk proposal had been accepted, this is the gist of it, originally titled "Achievement Unlocked: Diversity Success".

LOL thanks! Husband was crunching 9-9, 6 days a week when I was pregnant with 2nd child and morning sickness was horrible. Only thing I could keep down was dill pickle chips and white grape juice. So ... memories.
If you’re Canadian and/or have access to CBC Gem, North of North is the most fantastic series!!!

All you need is love … and good public policy.
Any time I see horseradish accompanying a steak, I think, "Ah, white people wasabi".

Such a full-circle moment to see #Rooster’s Asian debut flourish on Heybox, the top Steam community in China - ranking as the 3rd most popular post of the day!
A big thank you to the kind and supportive players in China and the lovely folks at @stickybrainstudios.bsky.social for making this happen!
I've been in the insurance industry for 15+ years. Tip for anyone thinking they might get evacuated:
Take a video walking through every room in your home. It'll help you catalogue your belongings if you need to make a claim and be helpful for the adjuster to get things processed quickly.
Just thinking that back in the day when we had Lamb Chop's Play-Along, it would be like if Bluey had a spinoff show about horses and it was named Gluey.
Awkward.
Thank you!
