I really need to stop telling myself not to apply for certain jobs because I feel like I don't deserve them because of how many talented people are out of work 😅

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Welp, I jinxed it because they passed on me this morning saying I don't have enough experience which is wild given I have over 10 years in the games industry 😩 oh well, back to square one I guess
I don't want to jinx anything, but I have an interview on Monday for a role that would literally be one of my biggest dreams come true and I'm losing my mind, I've never wanted a specific job this badly in my life 😭🤞

It really sucks when one of the people you usually go to for emotional support is straight up mean to you, adding another tally to my mental scoreboard of "why I need more friends who are women"

I'd be a heck of a lot happier if I had a girlfriend I could send a bouquet of flowers to... and also if I had a job so I could afford to send her the very best, but hey 😅 hire me so I can get a girlfriend and send her flowers

All video games need a “oh shit let me undo that I did not mean to press that particular button and drink eight of my rarest potions but I am playing too many games at the same time and forgot which button does what” option.

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

Starting to think I'm never going to get another job 😅 between the massive pool of talented people who've been laid off and are also looking for work, and the fact that I've been in the industry since 2016 and my entire resume is built around gaming, things aren't looking good

Writing an article about PowerWash Sim 2 for my new Medium page, along with a deep dive on one of my all-time fave films, 2002's The Time Machine 🥹 it feels good to write something just for fun, for no other reason than it brings me joy and I want to share that joy with others
