She/her C++/C# Game Dev.
So I've started a project. Hoping I can start showing it sometime soon. The way the game industry is going and corporate culture is, I think I need this to secure my future.

I'm disappointed. On this account, half of my feed is about the Switch 2.

On my other account, half of my feed is about the LA riot.

Everybody should be talking about the LA riot.

Citizen action matters.

Happy #TransgenderDayOfVisibility! I'm Emily Riesbeck. I write books, mostly about or containing women falling in love with each other. While not all my books are about being trans, it is one of the core facets of myself that i draw from.

My website has previews of all my books: emilyriesbeck.com

I have closed all of my X accounts. That platform has become nothing more than a den of evil, filled with white supremacists.

My Premier (although I didn't vote for him and I do not endorse him) posted an encouraging message about the economy and resisting the American bully. 1/3

Feeling completely betrayed by Google and other tech giants. After dropping DEI, they have now removed Black History Month, Pride Month, Indigenous People's Month, Woman's History Month...

Got my hard copy of Denis's awesome second edition of his performance book. It's been my go-to book for anyone interested in learning low-level performance techniques. Highly recommended: freely available as a PDF too (grab the book if you can afford it). products.easyperf.net/perf-book-2

With CDC removal of trans data, its important I use my platform to support research in this space.

Emory is doing a virtual study on HIV+ trans-fem individuals and working on shaping viral load testing for this population, with some compensation.
