controversial take but after working in game dev for 7 years + career switching properly into social media, ive now realised game devs dont actually know how to/have the resources to do social media
Social media marketing and content is NOT a 1 man job, pls readjust expectations

hello! i'm regina, or reg for short 💕
this thread is going to be me trying to remember notes and lessons ive learnt over the past MIGW, and things i've done for PAX as well
"me trying to remember" leads into our first point!
i dont usually get it, but holy FUCK solo queueing as a girl is fucking horrible and if u cunts hear it and dont do shit about it, ur just as guilty/complacent
legit no excuses in 2021 to not stand up for us lol
Unpopular opinion but if ur the friend thats constantly NEVER making, suggesting plans or never reciprocating the effort n energy that goes into plans made for u… Do better lol
If you’re at Crunchyroll expo / CRXAUS today and still lining up, go home. They have NO wristbands left for the day, come back tmrw 8am.
The volunteer i got the last wristband from said there’s none left, info desk also just said there’s none left.
If you are not implementing a user friendly experience in ur debug mode for content creating from the START of development, your social media managing-content-creating-pr-community-managing-everything-public-facing person is going to STRUGGLE
Also!!!!! I started making candles 🥺
Im getting a wax melter soon so i can make more!
Ill be using cocosoy wax next time too so it’ll be 100% vegan and cruelty free 😍

dont wanna make a big deal abt pride month personally but IM PAN AS FUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK AND IF UR CUTE N U THINK IM CUTE TOO WE SHOULD ABSOLUUUUUTELY FUCKIN KISSSSS FUCCCCKKKKK YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH 💖💛💙
I was scared to twitter as a student bc part of me didnt know if i wanted to keep it 'fully professional' as a game dev or to keep it private and banter-y/content
Then i realised fuck it i can be both LOL...
i have valuable knowledge+experiences AND im silly as fuck who CARES 😭
Social Media is also not that deep. I cant speak on marketing and metrics and numbers, that is not my expertise, but its not rocket science reciprocating your demographic’s energy in the comments, replies, and being cringe/memey/adhd af in ur content statistically gets u numbers
corny post but holy fuck ive made so many good friends from valorant and lockdown lol, like genuinely met some goodhearted people who give a fuck about me wow
Anyways community management is the most fkn fulfilling job ever and yknow… i think i finally found what im good at AND proud of doing in game dev 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
Only took me 4 years to find it but fuggit LOL
o it's atar day? lol i got a 53, fucked around n yolo picked a Game Dev uni course that needed a good folio and a good attitude
5 years later im having fun doing game dev/community/content full time 😝
