The BioWare news has me heartbroken. For the people involved and how hostile/uncertain this industry can feel at times.
Games can (and do) change lives. Case in point: Dragon Age made me want to make games and now I edit game text for a living.
Thank you to everyone who breathed life into DA.

Our 3.5 year old has been obsessed with Cirque du Soleil and performing her own tricks for a while now. Tonight, we took her to see KOOZA. 13/10. Fantastic. Amazing show, and she sat through it all, clapping and cheering her heart out. A much-needed reminder of magic.

Today is a day for long walks, cozy games, deep breathing, intention work, and whatever brings you the most peace and focus. 🕯️

No one - absolutely no one on planet earth - is more frustrated by a game’s bugs than the people who made it

One of the criticisms I’ve seen lately re: bugs is that devs just shrug and go “them’s the breaks.” no. We are little balls of rage, spite, and swallowed tears

Started playing #BG3 again. Tried when it first came out, but life got busy and I stopped just after Act I.

So here we go with my updated character: Briar, my noble, half-elf (high elf) Sorcerer.

My husband got me Rook’s Coffer for Yuletide. My three-year-old daughter has taken the map from it. She puts it on the ground, points to a destination, bundles it up, and runs from room to room, on repeat, “to find the bad guys.”

Completed my first play through of #DragonAgeVeilguard the other night. Naenia Ingellvar of the Mourn Watch with her Crow. Despite seeing a lot of bones and holes from cut content, I was delighted. I laughed, I cried. I happily threw my Solavellan heart into the Fade.
