Does anyone else crave co-op games that aren't PVP oriented or am I just crazy? Serious question. It feels like the entire market flooded with highly competitive games rather than experiences where you just goof around and hangout with your friends. I can't put my finger on why.

Ginger has a “routine” surgery tomorrow and I am a MESS. My entire past life is in vet med… but nothing prepares you for your own dog’s mortality. She’s been in rapid cognitive decline for a few weeks and I need her to pull through this. Send her your good vibes, please 🙏

It is with the saddest heart I tell you, Ginger’s biggest fans, that she has been diagnosed with lymphoma. We are doing everything we can to get her seen quickly by an oncologist to start treatment, but appointments are several weeks out. For now, we rest up before battle ❤️

90% of a PM’s job is communications adjacent. So, by definition: 90% of a producer’s job is communications adjacent. Seasoned community managers have all the soft skills needed in a producer… and yet this industry loves to turn their nose down at the role. Make it makes sense.
