I have finally cracked into death stranding 2
Making silly little deliveries and building roads. Sometimes crazy cutscenes happen.
It's a good life
Ideally, I'd like a damn job again. My linked in is here if you have any opportunities for:
Writing (tabletop or video games)
Editing
Executive Summary
DEI Consulting
Community Management

Just want to support while I job hunt (like half of the games industry) You can pour me a cuppa over at ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic (the only place I'm not cypheroftyr cause someone hacked my account and the only option was to close it out)
Like what I do on Twitch? Drop a sub here:

As usual, here's Patreon, which is so old it's still got a $1 tier. If you got the dosh, the $5 tier will get you early access to the podcast I do with DeejayKnight.
patreon.com/cypheroftyr
So, my one paid sponsorship isn't getting renewed for 2026-27. Thanks economy, I guess. So that means until I find a job, I'm gonna be more than a little obnoxious about pushing my patreon, twitch etc.
IDK if I'll still stream today, cause I'm in a strop about it.

A street in Tokyo
Nearing the end of a wonderful time in Japan. Last stop, Yokohama and the #DeathStranding concert! Can't wait to hear @ludvigforssell.bsky.social's incredible soundtrack live ๐ป ๐ธ
Probably a little more toward the "thing" being temporary than the person experiencing it though

As a bonus it's a final fantasy piece! youtu.be/pR1ROokv_eA

Half time show on screen in a restaurant
Watching the super bowl in the middle of Seattle Airport. Good times.

I had possibly the best day yesterday at @valvesoftware.com on behalf of @ivgorchestra.com
As a lifelong Valve fan since HL1, this was a big deal for me and I think I may have peaked. Thank you Valve!
lol
Adobe tried some Reddit outreach and it went about as well as you can imagine..
Too late lol. Haven't died yet, but I've blacked out and ran out of water! Loving it
Already an incredible game
I just started this too!!
Play with the champions pin from Playstation
Did not get the name but the server at Geno's Steak in Philadelphia Airport was the nicest of guys, fellow gamer and got really excited that I had a Playstation pin
Thanks for the cheesesteak, anonymous
Working with the team at Fading Echo has been incredible, and I cannot wait to share this game with you all.
Although... the demo is available... now.... so you actually can play a good chunk of this game today. Itโs waiting for you on Steam... ๐
I promise I didnโt write this myself.... Hugest of thanks to Brian @escapistmag.bsky.social, for writing about It Takes A Village with so much kindness and appreciation. Amazed by how much it resonates with folk! Intrigued? All episodes here: www.YouTube.com/@samantha_be...
Absolum, the Alters, Black Mesa, Cairn, Disco Elysium, Dispatch, Fantasian Neo Dimension and Final Fantasy Tactics
Half Life 2, Silksong, MIO, Outer Wilds, Portal 2, and Stardew Valley

Feedback to the Southbank centre
Other comments: It's fabulous to see video game music given the recognition it deserves on a stage like this. Wonderful to have the composers in attendance and the mixer event

Did you attend @baftagames.bsky.social in concert last night at Southbank Centre? Make sure to fill out the survey and tell them how great video game music is.
@awintory.bsky.social, the musicians, and everyone behind the event did an outstanding job. We need more of this!
