To the game devs and their colleagues that are weathering lay off after lay off: I hope after you mourn, that you get mad. Because I'm enraged. For you and for all of us.
Hi! So, I'm queer. One of those old fashioned pansexuals you may have heard of. Probably not a shocker -- like half the characters I play are members of the rainbow fam. 🧵:
First time in VR chat. Visited a painstakingly recreated Taco Bell. 2 children with Mickey Mouse avatars were robbing the register, manned by a medieval knight. A furry in a bikini demanded a taco I was holding. A skyscraper sized Barney lumbered outside. Then the game crashed.
Horizon Forbidden West is out and I could not be more grateful to be part of this game. Thank you to everyone at
@Guerrilla
for your support and trust. Aloy means so much to me, and I can't wait for you all to explore the wilds with her ❤️
We're in a pandemic, facing one of the most important elections of all time. People NEED to be able to vote by mail. We need to
#SaveThePostalService
So if this gets at least 2,000 retweets I will buy this child sized U.S. Mail Carrier costume and do a weird fashion shoot in it
I know it feels like it will never get better.
It will get better.
It may take days, or weeks. But one day you will wake up and it won't hurt as much as it hurts now.
Until then, and in all the days beyond, know that I'm glad you're here.
If your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't be trying to stop you from voting.
Let's mourn, rage and then fight. It's time, y'all. Were the ones we've been waiting for. Let's GO.
remember that time mordin said "someone else might have gotten it wrong" and then hummed a showtune while correcting a generational wrong and I cried for fifteen minutes
remember that
Ladies: I believe you. I believe in you. I love you.
This will not break us. This is fuel.
Vote, call, protest, volunteer, run for office.
It ain't over. Not by a longshot.
In my ideal world, everyone should have to wonder if everyone is hitting on them, regardless of gender. Would it make dating more confusing? Probably! But like, in a cute queer way!

Nevertheless, I've hemmed and hawed about whether or not an official Coming Out was something I needed or wanted to do. Particularly because I feel like a poser -- I've been dating a man for five years. Pretty un-gay of me.
Pretty weird that so many grown adults are comfortable insulting and demeaning literal children like Greta Thunberg and David Hogg.
Like, you know you're the evil principal in the 80s movie, right?
5 years ago today my partner, David Fetzer, died from an opioid overdose. I wanted to share this piece I wrote for A Profound Waste of Time Magazine about how playing Chloe Price in the original Life is Strange helped me confront my grief:
I also have always liked the idea that Coming Out isn't something I should feel obligated to do. Straight people don't have to announce their hetero-ness -- it's taken as default.
I appreciate the support, and judging by the conversation, a number of people suddenly hate me. That’s fine. I’ll weather the slings and arrows. Ours is a story of heroism and hope in a dark world. A story many of us need. One that turns in unexpected ways, and one I believe in.
We are super excited to show you a new look for Aloy and one of our most iconic machines in the world of Horizon. Build your own Tallneck with this stunning LEGO® model!

Anyway, given the state of... Everything, my attitude toward coming out has changed. It feels important to me to do it for reasons I can't really explain. Just feels like the time.
Thank you to the

Devs that felt erased by

: the folks that love and perform in your games see you. We know what a devastating year this was. You deserved to talk about those losses. You deserved to celebrate your wins. You deserved to feel seen. And we see you.
The first character I ever voiced, written by my brother, inspired by our weird web series and our high school friend Christina, is now going to be in a multi-million dollar movie. Life is weird! Congratulations,

White and white-passing Americans: if you're horrified by what happened today, let it be motivate you to do meaningful anti-racism work. The workbook "Me and White Supremacy" is a fantastic place to start.
I'm very excited to say that I get to funnel my intense and abiding love of Spider-Man into something other than fan fiction. I play your friendly neighborhood podcaster, Danika Hart, in Spider-Man: Miles Morales! Thank you to everyone at
@insomniacgames
! I'm so excited 😁
I really wish I was seeing more empathy/curiosity in the responses to reports of crunch. A job you love, that other people dream of having, is still a job. Jobs need to have boundaries, and workers need protections.
Horizon Forbidden West is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on 18 February 2022! Pre-orders will begin next week, on 2 September. Are you ready to continue Aloy's journey?
#HorizonForbiddenWest
Uh, for some reason Gavin Newsom is lifting the stay-at-home orders, but covid is still, like... happening.
And people are dying.
So, if you *can* stay at home, please do. And wear a mask. And watch The Expanse, it's really good.
Had a dream last night that I was playing Mario Odyssey. DK and Luigi were just hanging out in the level, and any time I ran by they would stop me and kiss me right on the lips.
Ball's in your court, Nintendo.
Sam is the best - obviously - but Merry doesn't get enough credit for being the most solid of bros. Frodo's like, "I'm not gonna explain this scary horse dude following us, but I need to get to Bree." Merry's like - tight. Let me get you on a ferry, no questions asked.
Hi everyone! Tomorrow is my birthday! But more importantly, it’s Juneteenth, a commemoration of the end of slavery in the US. So if you want to give me a birthday gift, which I know you were all thinking about, do this for me (THREAD):

On a walk today - saw a girl with a sword single-handedly fighting off four boys.

B. Kids play what they see. I'd bet good money those little'uns have seen Wonder Woman, the new Star Wars trilogy, or both. Representation is important.
Also so goddamn inspired by everyone participating in

. Thank you for fighting for yourselves, for your co-workers, for this industry.
I'm in awe of the strength it took for Simone Biles to step away from the Olympics to care for her mental health. That anyone sees that choice as anything other than the highest form of bravery speaks to how broken our understanding of mental health is.
If you’re angry and hurt, that’s absolutely part of this process. But I urge you not to let it close down your heart and throw away your trust. As silly as it sounds, this is an opportunity for growth. I’d encourage you to take it. ♥️
Gandalf is the best depiction of a wizard. Kind of an asshole, kind of a prankster, likes weed and singing. You like him immediately. Obviously that has a lot to do with Ian McKellen being the greatest. But still. Give me a grumpy wizard over an emotionally detached one any day.
Hi! If you work at a hospital, a grocery store, if you teach, or if you just plain need some help right now (whether it's emotional or financial), will you let us know below so we can tell you you're great and give you support? ⬇️
Finally catching up on Doctor Who:
1. The first ever female Doctor appears on screen
2. Immediate weeping
3. Compose self, have a delightful time
4. Jodie Whittaker says "I am The Doctor"
5. Immediate weeping
6. Credits
Frodo's like, "I'm leaving the fellowship and I'm not gonna say why." Merry's like kk, no worries, let me just distract A THOUSAND ORCS so you can get away. What a fucking champion.
