“Did you—“

“—buy a pair of Splatoon slippers while in Japan? Yes. Yes I did.”

Last night in a small bar in Kyoto I was speaking with a local using my very limited Japanese. He was so nice and we were chatting about things and then he randomly hopped up from his seat and started doing … this.

I love Japan!!!

This is going to sound so corny, but ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to stand under the Fushimi gates. And today I got to do it!

It made me so happy. 🧡

Kyoto is so beautiful it took my breath away. 😭

Today was all about nature and healing and realizing that Tokyo would be an amazing place to live. 💚

Why did I think this was Mallow from Super Mario RPG showing me how to wash my hands?

My husband is not a theme park person, but Tokyo DisneySea won him over. And as a bonus, we now have our Xmas card photo! 🙌🏻

Tokyo is somehow even more perfect in the rain. 🥰

I’m on an unfortunate-timed vacation in Japan the same week as the layoffs at Square Enix. I wasn’t impacted, but so many of my amazing coworkers were. Thanks to everyone who checked in on me. It’s going to be very different when I get back. 💔 Love you all.

The kids in my neighborhood love Super Mario, so I’m passing out candy in my driveway dressed like this.

Reviews for DQ I & II HD-2D Remake just went live and they are so good so far! 😭

We’re currently sitting at an 86 on Metacritic, which is higher than last year’s (amazing) DQ III!

I’m so happy and proud to work on this incredible game. It launches tomorrow, so get excited! ☺️

Now that my parents are headed back to North Carolina and I’m done traveling for a bit, I am about to see SO many movies and play SO many video games. Watch this space.

Alongside my 12-page cover story, I also wrote an 8-page DQ retrospective, since this is somehow our FIRST EVER DQ cover🤯

Can’t wait for you all to get this issue – I’m so so proud of it🥹

Helping secure this cover is one of the proudest moments in my entire PR career.

This is the first time a DRAGON QUEST game has EVER been on the cover of Game Informer, so I can't wait for you all to read this beautiful issue once it comes out in November.

I'm so happy! ☺️

Looks like a kid in my neighborhood had too many juice boxes last night and irresponsibly got behind the wheel.
