I am thrilled to be working with Kathrin Strangfeld and the other directors (@AmandaFarough, Naaila Mohammed, Alessandro Bovenzi, and Hans Van Brakel). We’ve gelled very quickly as a powerful team, and I’m so excited for the future.

New Leadership Team Appointed As Robot Teddy Continues Partnerships With Multiple Global IPs

Today I learned you can block entire instances of Mastodon. You can only do it on desktop, though.
Anti-Semitism is the point of the new wizard game. (Updated with alt-text. Apologies for not including in the first place.)

As a Jew and a parent of a trans kid, I am having a lot of challenges with the gaming community’s acceptance of the new wizard game.

The creator of that IP is a gleeful anti-trans bigot. The game’s story is built around blood libel. And yet, outlets are still giving it huge play and content creators are conveniently ignoring the harm this game’s profits will directly contribute to.

Everyone needs to make their own choice, sure. But I am having a hell of a time not judging people.

TLOU Episode 3 was some of the finest television I've ever seen. This was a SMART approach that humanized a relationship that could not get this level of depth in the game.

Something fun for industry-side folks. @AmandaFarough and I are hiring for TWO positions on our Strategic Partnerships team. These are BOTH positions for individuals in Europe (we'll be hiring for North America later this year).

Coffee is inevitable.
Hear me out… The Rock & Morty.

Midnight Sons is a delightful game in that I keep looking at my backlog and wanting to start something new, but then I remember Midnight Sons.

So I load it up and I'm instantly reminded just how delightful it is. I love the Persona-like approach to the RPG side of the game. And using Magik to KO three enemies at once with a Gather card is just... perfect.
