A woman has died due to our industry's culture, there is actual blood on hands. Burn it to the ground. Let a wildfire lend itself to new growth.
Stop being passive by asking how you can help or for people approach you for help. We told you many times what we need & you ignore it
HUGE shoutout to the VFX team, design, and
@TrueUnderdog
for testing this event. This is a first for the studio, and everyone absolutely crushed it and busted their asses to make it happen. Well done, team!!!
This encapsulates a lot of the anguish I feel. From finding him on the floor, trying to keep him awake as medics took him away then shakily messaging coworkers on his pc cuz -he was working when he had a stroke-, to him coming to my door & telling me he was laid off has gutted me
Rough morning. For the last year I’ve had Victors car for safe keeping since his stroke. Had a quick visit with him this morning to hand off his Bungie parking pass, as he’s been impacted by the layoffs and needs to return it.
To see this happening to him is heartbreaking.
Just blocked...maybe 100+ people? because they're stoked a predator in the destiny community came back to twitter.
A reminder: we don't want you in our community. You're a manipulative predator. You breed inc-ls and further hatred to victims. If you support him, you're unwelcome
Since i posted my

hunter parade armor dress I was asked if I made titan or warlock dresses, I did! Titan was made for d2 launch, warlock for forsaken, and hunter for shadowkeep.
After killing 2 people in iron banner while wearing a shaxx helmet, I am announcing my retirement from iron banner. It was a good run of a 1 hour career, thanks for watching
Finished the problem dress to my best ability. I had to cut down a lot of detail and modifying since I was working crunch and then had surgery recovery. It isn't my best work, but I need to be extra for our

Like seeing that take makes me laugh and relive some traumatizing shit but glad you're enjoying your game and not thinking how pervasive and widespread this is 🥴🥴🥴
I think what makes our npc male identifying titans (specifically shaxx and saint) so loveable and appealing is that they can be both strong and kind, and they reject a lot of toxic masculinity traits. They display that compassion isn't a weakness.
I could happy cry right now. It's been torture to silently wait and watch for the first Sagiras to show up. Prophecies and Sagira was a huge undertaking on my team and I'm so proud of them.
Waited to make sure my coworkers heard before posting to Twitter, but my last day at Bungie is this Friday. 2022 was really fucking rough and made me assess what is most important in my life currently, so I'm needing to step away.

#Shadowkeep
is live! Every one of us put ourselves into the game; we seem a Borg-like group but we all bring something to the table. If my coworkers reply to this on what they did (accounting, admin, release, engineer, etc) it shows all the work of what makes a game ❤️
Hey just a reminder if you're being an absolute shithead about the content my coworkers worked really hard on it is an auto block. If it isn't for you, being quiet and scrolling on by is an option!
Come work for Bungie! We have some openings right now in Test and we have contract and full time positions open:
And yes, we are letting you work remotely! You currently don't have to be in WA state to join us.

My voicemail: "hey, it's mom. I'm worried since you didn't answer your phone. I hope you're not out at those protests"
Me, listening to the message in the middle of the protest crowd:
shoutout to Gamers who kill any excitement or fun about the content devs are proud of. I stopped tweeting my excitement or pride for my team because people dogpile & shit on my personal work. If you ever wonder why devs you follow don't talk about their work anymore, there it is
Just had a convo about people unsure what to do/who to go to when leadership and HR fails you. Your state's dept of fair employment and housing that can help you.
I had to file w dofeh at my previous studio & the dept came to investigate. If you need insight of this process lmk
Not holding the control point is unforgivable! I am the pretty guardian that fights for love and justice. I am Sailor Shaxx and in the name of the crucible, I'll punish you!
The industry urge to post my salary but the anxiety that people will think I'm paid too much for being "just test".
Double the fear that my own peers would feel that way.
I really don't want to deal with exhausting and painful scrutiny of my career and if I'm worthy enough.
Well, the powers of the universe decided to cut me a break and the cat i was interested in had their adopters back out. So I got to take Michio Paw (fka lunar eclipse) home!! She's already very confident and has run up to me for pets
I've seen guys talking about setting up circles or groups to protect women and Please. Don't.
You're literally creating a group men are eagerly volunteering for. You know this is a perfect storm for this all to continue right?
Please, don't create a space predators can hide in
People who complain on a community manager's personal Twitter about the game they manage are willfully lazy and stupid. There are player support, game, and studio twitters for that. And help forums! Stop harassing CMs for having a life and posting about it you giant babies
I've created a monster. Wrex just came into the bedroom screaming and I thought it was for his food dish. Went out to check it and he trotted over to the iPad and sat expectantly...waiting for me to turn on the cat TV videos
Remember how we said loadouts will be a time-saver? And that I mentioned my fireteam spends so much time in tower?
Guess what they did today. For 2+ hours. In tower!!! I wasn't lying!!!!
Lmao of course all the people coming in saying they hate the titan look when I'm expressing excitement for it are men. Show me where I asked. Clearly we should take fashion tips on your jeans and band shirt wearing ass 🙄
Wore my inproved wondie

for a couple hrs & got great responses and reactions! But the best compliment was a little girl who stopped in her tracks in the expo hall and stunned that wonder woman was there. Her parents were so tickled by it 🥰

Our insurance is great & we have help from Bungie via support & understanding filing claims/medical leave, but insurance will only cover so much for an extremely expensive road to recovery. Anything helps.

The man that was concerned about 30 to 50 feral hogs rushing his neighborhood was from the future warning us about cops blindly attacking citizens. It all makes sense now.
Hot buff dude off okc finally texted me back after leaving me on the hook for nearly 2 weeks and all it was was a selfie and "hey!" lmfao. So I set an alarm
Another pentathlon in the books! Didn't do any singing or as many costume changes but I had fun playing xur, Holliday, and crow for our intro ceremony!
@MattRichenburg
was hilarious in his roles as always

During the holidays, don't let anyone tell you "blood is blood". It's okay to not have a relationship with biological family if they hurt you in any way. That phrase is a dogwhistle to guilt you into family obligations that are unhealthy and toxic. You don't owe them anything.
Anyways, a reminder before tomorrow: I am not a support account. I mention that front and center in my bio. Anyone reporting bugs at me or spewing rage at me for anything the goes wrong tomorrow will be ignored/muted/blocked. Go through the proper channels.
The same men in the past who have said they'll back me up or intervene if I'm being harassed are the same men who stand there and watch it happen because, once under pressure to actively stop other men from harassing, they buckle.
Take from this what you will.
Shout out to the men who can tell the difference between "a group of men" and "all men". Y'all are the real mvps and I appreciate you not screaming at me and being empathetic and understanding my tweets aren't about you ❤✌
I've worked at Bungie for 5.5 years now. I have a lot of favorite memories about Destiny. Some highlights:
1. Reactions to Alpha & everyone dancing in tower, on sparrows, etc
2. The day we opened the studio to everyone
3. Launch parties
4. Vault of Glass day 1
5. Gjallarhorn Day
Eyes up, Guardians.
Five years ago, today, the first of you took your first steps into a larger world. Thank you for going on this journey with us.
Love, Bungie.
WASHINGTON STATE VOTERS
You should be receiving your August ballots now. PLEASE vote early, and if possible return it to a designated ballot drop box--we have over 70 locations in King County. USPS is not reliable right now, please please PLEASE vote and use a drop box.
New followers, you're gonna be real disappointed when you see that I rarely talk about gamedev (mostly focus on the toxic culture internally and externally) and really only post pics of my cat, shit post, and am very political. But, welcome! Hope y'all stick around
They've already been paid & most likely moved over to a different project aside from a small live team until they can figure out if they need to expand the team. Saying you're buying the game to support the devs doesn't hold up here.

Damn, it is fucking wild seeing the same people who were saying to believe and support victims are now silent on this sentiment after their fave was outed as a rapist.
Good morning just some reminders:
🔷️ I've been in the games industry for near 10 yrs & know how the sausage gets made. Don't talk at me like I don't understand my craft.
🔷️ Crunch should never be the norm.
🔷️ Crunch is absolutely caused by poor scoping & poor leadership
