I have tried to keep it in. I know that makes me a coward. But this #ActivisionBlizzard response makes me want to start naming the executives and managers who’ve asked me out to dinner, had me give massages in their hotel rooms, grabbed me and kissed me, groped me. I am so angry.

I am a powerful person. I am a (too rare) female executive in games. And the reason I haven’t even hinted at things that have happened to me is I didn’t want to harm or embarrass THE MEN that did these things. Think about that. And I have privilege that many women and POC don’t.

Weekly, our Production team does something called Friday Flex. In the privacy of our group chat, it’s a moment for people to stop and say “I did this thing well this week because I’m awesome.” And at first, most of them struggled with it. The flexes were “I learned about X.” 1/3

A game I worked on (no longer live) had a multi-month endgame that was intended to take at least six months to do. The execs were so afraid people would beat it the first week that we hardcoded it to be impossible. We patched it a few months later and it was completed instantly.

When I took over Warhammer Online the team had already shrunk a lot. We tried to be creative but players wanted big expansions. And we weren’t getting the $ to do it. So I was asked to take some devs and make a new game, out of WAR assets and engine, and do it in nine months. 🧵

People tell video game makers to “shut up and just make games”, but this is why we can’t. We make worlds for people to be their best selves (overcome obstacles, try try again, and prevail over evil). It is not okay how toxic gaming discourse gets. And I’ll never shut up about it.

@shenanigans052 I am so out of it, but I feel like @AhnaldT101 and I had more than our fair share of dust ups. But I’m super zen now and I love everyone, even @Mcmole2 ;) ( @CubsFanHan is still my favorite sorry)

Hoping to collectively heal video game industry anxiety, because it usually doesn’t get me, but Teams is down and for about 15 seconds I thought “oh so they finally came for me”. The trauma is real y’all.

Good PSA: Most game makers do not make the thing you see. Game making is a collaborative art form that includes a studio of people working in harmony from recruiting to IT to the artist that painted the thing to marketing and SDETs and operations and payroll. All hail payroll.

I hate how most of game development is completely invisible. I can't show up to twitter and post "hey check out all these... uh, data structures"

Pride is about showing up for people who are marginalized and who don’t get to celebrate themselves nearly enough. You don’t need to “understand” someone’s gender or sexual choices (specifically HOW) to treat them with dignity. I’ll be out on Sunday in full rainbow. Love is love.

When @jasonschreier contacted me for this book, I was nervous. But he was telling the story of Mythic’s closure and I’m the one who closed it. I felt I had to. His way of telling humanizes one of the worst times of my life and I’m grateful for how he told it. And I miss Mythic.

This is 100% in the middle of “I figured out how to make sourdough and am eating it all day long.” I plead the Scott Pilgrim! But I’m very very happy. Love this studio. Looking for lots of talented awesome people all the time to come join us!

My father owns a restaurant in DC and like many small business owners is having a hard time. My Xmas gift to him is to try to support it. If you live in the area, let me know and I’ll pick 25 random names on Monday for $30 to use at his restaurant.

Before I worked at Bungie, I assumed Bungie rewards were only for the super hardcore. Today, I got my first one, the raid ring. The Bungie store team including @TimeSpaceCos are world class and it adds so much to playing. Thanks to @KatCAWalker @Sunos @tarasmckey for the carries!

@gtmorgan23 As a player now I think we should all demand some zetas for this. ;)

I just walked out of the house holding my phone, keys, jacket, and an Xbox controller. Oh I see it’s one of those brain days.

I made a lot of small goals and a few big ones on my return to health/sanity etc. After passing the first big one, I bought myself a dress I’ve been coveting by Christopher John Rogers. Do you think fashion designers dream of their creations offseting Darth Vader back tattoos?

My mom’s birthday gift to me: these photos she took of Jimi Hendrix (who shares my birthday). I always knew she danced on stage with him, but only recently discovered that her photo of him burning his guitar at the Ambassador Theater was the only proof of the “third guitar burn”.
