nbd, just got some new headshots taken this morning. (big thanks to my incredibly talented partner @futterish.fsquared.biz for helping me!)
I love this moment for Wrex and Tali. (Very nearly beat TR-49 that night too!)
Just in time to turn over to the next decade (next month): mama’s first reading/computer glasses. I have a bunch of different pairs inbound, because of course I do. If I’m going to have to wear glasses most of the time, then they HAVE to be cute.
So, @futterish.fsquared.biz and I spoke to CNET about what the hell is going on over at Xbox. www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/... I wanted to be spicier but I figured I’d save that for today’s @virtualeconcast.com episode.
anyway, I grew a cucumber in my garden and I think it’s pretty neat that I grow things now
If you're around Tribeca Festival tomorrow evening, preferably around 5pm ET, AND you have a Storytelling Summit pass... you should swing by to check out a panel I'm on about the rise (really, the return) of maximalism in video game aesthetics. (Excited to chat with two more Canadian game devs!)
Hanging at Tribeca Games Festival at Pier 57 (open to the public) here in NYC! Come swing by to play Truck-Kun if you’re around!
Planted my shade loving plants and flowers today.
A little update on my Koriko playthrough! This is Clarabell Foxglove two days before she leaves on her big journey.
cleansing the timeline with the earl grey lavender tea cake that I made today
Really didn’t enjoy my time with Dwelling, so I’m moving on to playing this cute, cozy game where you play as a witch travelling to Koriko and making a life there. I really need cozy. Badly.
man, this week went from incredible lows to wonderful highs right in time for the lowest I’ve felt in a long time. I’ll miss my big girl dog. She was the dumbest, sweetest, most beautiful and perfect creature ever. She died in our eldest’s arms surrounded by the people she loved most in the world.
Now that I’ve wrapped up (mostly) with week one of my Indie TTRPG a week project, I’m moving onto playing Dwelling.
At least the makeup was good tonight bc the rest of me is 🫠
Promised I’d do this, so here’s a taste of what I’m doing in the small fictional PNW town of Luna Grove while playing All Night Breakfast at the Midnight Owl. (More about the project here: www.writualmagic.com/project-indi...)
me and my teams just plugging away at our games and I’m like, “well, we have deadlines and milestones and things to do, so uh…“
the cut flower garden is already blooming! now I need to finish planting seeds and move onto the moon flower garden (and my veggies) That’s a job for another day
Houseplant update: Jasmine is flowering and smells wonderful. Orange philodendron is finally turning orange! This afternoon is Garden Time to sow many pollinating flowers and tend my herb garden.
Ran back to NJ so I could catch yet another Our Lady Peace concert (their 30th anniversary tour!) with my husband James. No regrets!
We are so strange, @futterish.fsquared.biz Final day at PAX East so if you wanna hang out, best find me before bedtime!
