o/ hello!!!
interesting phenomenon where twitter and youtube (my two primary art posting circles for a decade) have horrible discoverability despite doing everything right. I impulse post my stuff on TikTok and insta at random points in the day and regularly go viral… or at least my followers see… lol

Picked up my cat from boarding today and the receptionist said she was the favorite. The people in the back were fighting over who gets to bring her out. I could cry from pride

Layoffs wreck studios. Institutional knowledge is SO valuable in the games industry. When you eventually replace that laid off employee, I don’t care if they’ve got 30 years of experience and dozens of games under their belt. They still have to learn the pipeline, the software, the systems.

I was a Firaxis narrative designer/writer and lost my job today. Any help sharing leads on new opportunities would be great!

Over 3.5 years, I contributed to Civilization VII and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, helping turn maps, mechanics, and chaos into memorable stories. See my work benreeves.carrd.co

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

I got laid off from Firaxis today. I helped ship Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC and Civilization VII, and would love to talk to you about mid level Producer roles.

do you think there’s discourse in the mario kart universe about non racers paying insurance that end up being spent by racers or is there like a tiered system
