#GDC Day 5 - got in super early to see my good friend @jarrydhuntley.bsky.social talk about career trees, super inspirational and omg it is PACKED here too! 😍
A photo of Jarryd giving his talk from about halfway to the back of the room. The audience gives their rapt attention. A photo of a slide: "Takeaways: - Careers aren't linear - Career goals can happen in parallel - Careers don't need to be sequential - A career tree can help with visualizing, planning and goal setting"

#GDC Day 4! Meandered to coffee and then conference early so I can catch @kaittremblay.bsky.social's talk in 30 mins! Please enjoy some morning views of SF 🌞
Selfie of Tabby in a Horm shirt sitting on a bench with foliage behind her. Photo of an alley with cool art on the road, light-wrapped trees and lit ornaments stretching back and forth across the canopy. Photo of downtown SF in the morning light. Buildings curve in on themselves almost inception-like as the street makes a sharp turn. Photo of Yerba Buena gardens shining in the early morning, devoid of indie developers (so far).

Okay #GDC2025

The bad news: I lost my cool sword earring in the streets of SF 😭

The good news: I found it an hour later!

The bad news: It broke on the way to the pavement 😔

Are there any well prepared devs out there with super glue on them that's near Moscone/the park?

Day 3 #ArtAdventCalendar - A little potion stamp I drew for washi.love for a washi collaboration! You can even buy this one :3

#tabbymakesart #drawing #washi #art
A digital drawing of a clear glass teapot and cup filled with a drink that looks like it's made of outer space- purple and blue swirling nebulas and bright twinkling stars. Served with moon and star shaped biscuits! All 10 potion stamps laid out together surrounded by fall witchy ingredients. Thank you to @starrypaige.bsky.social for the promo image!
