Dog person, writer, not a producer at Epic anymore. He/They
I was trying to explain that my name is pronounced "Cody" today and instead of just saying that, I said "The T is silent."

My name is Coy, I guess?

What a year this week has been. Tater and Tali illustrate how I'm feeling on this Friday.

I use a captioning app for therapy that also summarizes the conversation and today I talked about Dragon's Dogma 2, as one does in therapy. The summary: Speaker 1 had to throw their partner in the sea after they became sick with a virus. Speaker 1 feels badly about this.

I thought the best part about having a job again would be getting a paycheck again but it turns out the best part is not having to spend any time on LinkedIn.

Modeling your Pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2 after your significant other seems like a great idea until you realize they follow you around calling you "master" for dozens of hours.

TFW you learn someone bought a winning lottery ticket worth $842 million at the corner store you walk to to buy your unemploymed depression snacks and it wasn't you.

Congratulations, friends, you made it to the last day of this dumpster fire turned landfill fire of a year. The year where all things unprecedented became precedented. You did it. Most important mission accomplished. I hope you can take some time to be proud of that.

I applied for a job at a nonprofit. They did not give me the job. They did not even give me an interview. But they took the liberty of signing me up for their mailing list and now they email to ask me for money every week.

Bold choice.

I do not think this will have the same effect, but if you insist

It's LIVE!! The Game Content Triggers Database is open and ready for use! Please take a moment to read the "How To" page before diving in to the games. I can't wait to hear how people like it. This was the project I needed to feel like myself again after Epic.

Games are meant to be fun, not things that impact our mental health in a negative way. But too often, players are surprised by traumatic and triggering content that can ruin their day, impact progress...

Friends, I had to make a GoFundMe for Tater so we can afford her dental surgery while I continue to search for a job. Any help or shares are greatly appreciated!

This girl is stressing me out. She cracked a tooth but can't have regular dental procedures because of her heart. So if it needs to be surgically removed it'll have to be at the hospital which will be like $3000 which is problematic on account of me being laid off.

A birthday selfie. 41 and 5 today. Would really love to get a job for my birthday so I can return Tali to living the lifestyle she is accustomed to.

Friends! I'm looking for a couple people with deep knowledge of game and narrative content for the CoD and Persona franchises, from older to current releases, for the game trigger database project.
November 1, 2023 at 4:48 PM
I'm working with some lovely people to create a content warning / trigger database for games in which people will be able to search by trigger or game.

It's still very early stage and I'd love to launch it with as little bias as possible, so if you'd like to contribute, let me know!

The Coty + Nobel Prize winner book is out today. There are other people in it, but there's also me and a Nobel Prize winner.

Had my first interview for an accessibility and inclusion role yesterday and it feels like the role my entire career has been building towards. Please cross all your appendages that I get to move on to an interview with the hiring manager.
