I think I'm too Shonen Dragon Ball brained to be sad about the Jays' World Series loss.

Goku lost the first two World Martial Arts Tournaments! Master Roshi taught him that losing shouldn't be anything but inspiration to do better next time. There's always room to grow!

We should be giga proud!!

So incredibly proud of the Warframe community raising $314,000 AND COUNTING for Quest to Conquer Cancer 2025!!!

You smashed our annual 100K goal AND beat our 2024 high score of $295K💜

Since 2020 we've raised 1.3 MILLION for PMCF 🤯

How?! We All Lift Together ✌️➕🫶

Had a perfect 3 week holiday in Tokyo!

Now catching up on all things Warframe. Pretty lucky I enjoy my job so much that I don't have to dread that 'back to work' feeling after a long vacation :]

Very excited about my new job title: COMMUNITY PROJECT MANAGER at Digital Extremes!

Community Management is still a (relatively) new discipline. I'm very proud to be part of the DE team as we flesh out what community work can entail. Both for us, and for others!

Sharing a games job in Canada / Ontario / Toronto! For experienced community management & social media professionals.

I worked at Uken from 2018-2020. Nice teams, passionate people. I liked the culture.

Genuinely the best advice for creative work. The 'golden rule' equivalent of making art.

A good idea is nothing. A bad first draft EXISTS. There is something to touch up, refine, polish!

You don't have to share the bad thing immediately. Wait until it's good. But make it! Make it! Make it!

Completed SWORD OF THE SEA by Giant Squid!

Absolutely stunning. Tony Hawk's Journey. One of those games where I feel bad for non-gamers who will never get to experience what interactive art has to offer.

In 2014 I became friends with a cool girl from Japan who was on a working holiday in Canada.

We'd do karaoke with our friends at my apartment. She wanted to become a professional singer!

A decade later, FURUI RIHO is a full fledged J Pop Idol...WITH AN ANIME OPENING!

CITY THE ANIMATION!

Completed Donkey Kong Bananza! Simply incredible. The first masterpiece of the Switch 2 era.

The physics & puzzle creativity of Zelda BOTW/TOTK with the movement & platforming bliss of Mario Odyssey.

Nintendo at their very best! OOH BANANA 🍌

1 year ago on August 10, 2024 I finished drafting my first novel, Dot Monster ReVolution.

Still needed work before publishing in Dec, but the story was COMPLETE.

A year later, nearly 600 copies have been sold! No publishing house, no marketing budget. Thank you!

Onto the next one~

Found some old photos! This is me in 2016 playing bass for the Tokyo Police Club 'PCH' music video!

The goal was to play the song 200 times in 12 hours (lol) with rotating musicians joining the TPC boys.

I think I played on 10-20 PCH runs haha.

Almost done yapping about TennoCon. One more thing I want to say is how cool it is that our little 'gen 2' group of community managers are now on stage :]

Super proud of Sarah, Zach, Ronnie, and super thankful to Rebb, Meg, Dani, Taylor for trusting & mentoring us!

TennoCon 2025 treasures!

Some (but not all) of the gubbins I was gifted by Tenno around the showfloor!

As a K-pop and live music fan I LOVE how 'fan merch' culture is a big part of Warframe & TennoCon 💜

Thank you for the gifts!
