@ziondood.bsky.social hi Zion! I loved your video on game key cards. I had an idea!

I wonder how Sega (and other 3rd party companies) would react to a video compilation of major gaming influencers/journalists all asking for the option for full games on a card. I imagine it could help a ton.

This month has been really challenging for me after being laid off.
I tried challenging myself to land a job by today. It didnโ€™t happen. Itโ€™s okay. Iโ€™ll find something.

I decided to still celebrate myself on my birthday by seeing the newest Ari Aster film. Just like the rest of his work, masterful

At times I get really discouraged to keep making games. I fight this by playing works that influenced me in my childhood, or I think about my family. Other times, I listen to game music that teleport me to a time when playing games felt 100% magical, like this:

Losing your job in a volatile industry is one thing, but having it happen when extreme racism makes being Latino something to fear is a whole other story. Kidnappings in broad daylight. Concentration camps. Itโ€™s all so mentally draining. Somehow though, I escape by making games. #gamedev

@themix.bsky.social had an awesome event on a LA rooftop! There were so many great indie games to play. As a dev myself thatโ€™s dying to control my own value, I felt inspired by all of these extremely talented creators.

Continuing with the Nintendo launch tradition that my mother helped me start back in 2001 with the gamecube.

Feeling so happy and inspired right now!

Hi, is the in-person event opened to the public?

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
I worked pretty hard designing and programming the boss for this new level.

@jon.gvg.io is my spirit animal.

Iโ€™ve been saying this about the virtual boy for ages!

@gvg.io just caught the top ten multiplayer video you all released.

It made me wonder if thereโ€™s any possibility of you guys doing a top ten video on cancelled games that people WISHED they got to play. Thatโ€™d be super interesting. Mother 3, StarCraft Ghost, Contra 64, Kirby Tilt and Tumble 2, etc

@jon.gvg.io I had my sister (who rarely plays games) try EMIO. She loved it and now Iโ€™m sending her your GVG video on the game.

We got another one on our side!

@kitellis.bsky.social I couldโ€™ve sworn I wrote text, too. I didnโ€™t mean to just leave you a context-less photo of machamp in his birthday wrestling suit. My bad! Meant to say, โ€œnew machamp just dropped!โ€

Just learned about this podcast. Iโ€™m excited to check out all the episodes!

The person demoing removed screen shake and turned down the camera sensitivity, but I still felt sick. It did help a little bit though. As a fellow DK64 freak, I really hope you donโ€™t experience the same thing.

We had to adjust the right stick camera speed, and remove screen shake all together for it to get better. I still felt sick though. While it helped, it seemed like so much of that juicy feedback was lost.

A lot of people take sick days when a big game releases. In my case, it might not be a lie.

@duckvalentine.bsky.social hi Rebekah!
I know on NVC you were so thrilled for DK Bananza, as was I. I played it yesterday in LA, but unfortunately got bad motion sickness. The employee demoing and about 8 other attendees I spoke to, also felt the same. Are you prone to feeling that in some games?

@brianaltano.bsky.social hi!
When you played DK Bananza, did you get motion sickness at all?
I went to the LA Switch2 event, and got it within 5 minutes. The employee demoing said she had been getting motion sickness, too. I spoke to about a dozen attendees, and more than half said they did, too.

Iโ€™m so lucky! I got to play the #Switch2 today in LA.

I have too many positive thoughts for this small character limitation!

In short, I was in love. Mario Kart Knockout Tour stole the show for me. Prime 4 was visually the most impressive. Zelda BotW in 4K nearly made me cry! #nintendo

Iโ€™ll soon be available for game design, creative direction, and consultancy opportunities while I develop my own projects. Iโ€™m also open to paid speaking engagements if you know of any!

If youโ€™d be willing to share/repost this, or just send a kind word, Iโ€™d truly appreciate it. Thank you! โ™ฅ
