This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.
I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Rise of the Ronin propaganda on my timeline, waited almost two years for this.

Still floating after getting my first video game credit (along with @moemalik.bsky.social) when Goodnight Universe launched a few days ago. Deeply thankful to Nice Dream for bringing us on to spearhead marketing/community.
A lot more we’d like to do within gaming. So first of many credits, I hope 🤞🏾

It's not often that I get to publicly talk about the games I consult on. It was so rewarding to mock review Goodnight Universe before release, especially as someone who has such a strong personal connection to Before Your Eyes. Goodnight Universe is achingly beautiful, go play it! 💜

It’s out mostly everywhere now. Switch 1 soon. Can’t wait to hear what y’all think! 🙏🏾

Goodnight Universe. Available NOW on PC, PS5, XBOX, and Switch 2 💫
A psychic baby narrative adventure. Hone your powers. Mend a broken family. Take on an evil tech company. Nothing a baby can't do, right?
If you’ve ever felt different...this story is for you.
