At some point, increased profit will not be possible. What then? Where does this road end? What is lost along the way?
There has to be a turning point. So many industries affected, so many lives impacted, so much talent lost. How do we fix this??
Fuck that. I'm not going anywhere. Time go get back to work.

Claiming my space. ๐ช๐พ

This is my first video game credit with my married name. To say the last year has been life-changing is an understatement, and through the highs and lows I am constantly inspired by the people around me. Thank you ๐ฅน๐
Felt like dancing last night -
@godfree
and I have so much to be thankful for. It's a dream come true to be starting this new chapter in our lives. Never would've guessed we'd become HOMEOWNERS in LOS ANGELES! ๐๐ ๐ค๐
Career update๐ฃ I've joined Zebra Partners as their Director of Brand & Unified Marketing! I'm excited to begin helping Zebra expand their existing services and find new ways to tell stories. Thank you all for your support - I'm sure many of us will be working together soon ๐
Hey friends, a little life update: I've parted ways with G4. Relaunching a content creation clubhouse for digital and cable networks in the middle of a pandemic was an unforgettable experience. The lessons I learned alongside an incredible team will stay with me forever.๐ค 1/3
We are beyond excited to announce the latest member to the WGG fam,
@RianaTweetsNow
! Youโll hear her on the show monthly, see her at community events, hanging out on our Patreon and more! Weโre so happy to have you, Ri! ๐๐
I am seeking a new opportunity in the industry I call home - gaming! Open to brand/marketing/studio/publishing roles where my abilities will be both challenged and appreciated. DMs are open and I'm excited to get back to making the world a better place through games.๐ 2/3
This Insomniac leak is an invasion of privacy done on a massive scale. That's why today, we will not be reporting on the details of the leak.
Instead, we'll discuss how this affects the people working on your favorite games.
I wanna know about more game studios led by POC and women. Making dope projects, telling new stories, creating unique experiences. Drop 'em below so I can spread the word ๐๐พ
While we are settling into the rhythm of married life, our wedding day is still fresh in our minds. Thank you to everyone who congratulated, attended, and witnessed our journey into matrimony.

He's still leading the polls in some states. Please. Even if you don't care. Even if you don't think it'll make a difference. Please vote. For the people who needed those tests...
Trump: When you do testing to that extent, youโre going to find more people. Youโre going to find more cases. So I said to my people slow the testing down please.
I'm trying really hard to stay positive and hopeful for change in this country, but I can't stop thinking about the man with the zip ties, the improvised explosives, and the plans that DIDN'T come to fruition today, or the fact that whoever formed them is probably not in custody.
New week, new business, new podcast! ๐ฅณ We're excited to announce D&R Media Consulting and our new weekly podcast, The Danny & Riana Show! Check out for more info on both, and look for episodes 1&2 dropping this Wednesday ๐
Words cannot express how proud I am to work with the people at G4 every day. What's more, this message will be broadcast on cable TV tomorrow. Thank you,
@Froskurinn
for speaking from your heart. Thank you,
@G4TV
for making this possible.
I don't usually do spicy takes or "blank company is the worst," but I mean it with my whole heart when I say we as an industry are worse off because of them.
Great gaming experiences take time and are crucial for our long term health. They've robbed us of so many opportunities.
Layoffs are "something that everyone needs to get through", says Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors.
"You can debate the speed we went to build organic growth, but the ambition was obviously to aggressively organically grow the company. Now, we need to adjust for that."

made Forbes 30 under 30! Shout-out to them for doing big things and to every amazing individual on this list!
Another example of how important the "E" in DE&I is. EQUAL would be "treat her the same as anyone else". EQUITY is give her a costume that allows her to attend to her body's needs while she works. Different people need different things. Diversity, EQUITY, and inclusion.
#DEI
Itโs not easy being a working Mama! Genius
#christinewada
designed Sylvieโs costume & added concealed zippers so I could pump easily & nurse my baby between takes. Little (big) things like this that made it possible for me to do my job & be a parent. Iโm forever grateful ๐
Growing a human is WILD, but nothing could have prepared me for how much more in love I'd be with my partner. Through the highs and especially the lows, he's given me a strength I didn't even know I was capable of. Thank you for making this happen with me, Danny. ๐
Happy to share this journey with
@RianaTweetsNow
. We are never going to forget it. So grateful for the support from family and friends. In a couple of weeks, we are going to meet our baby girl. ๐ผ
Thanks to Lori Dorman Photography for the amazing pictures!
This weekend was love. I witnessed kismet connections, long-awaired reunions, and new family bonds formed. Danny Peรฑa you have given me a beautiful life, and I know this next level is going to exceed our wildest dreams. Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating our love.
We may not be able to recreate our annual "family photo" this year, but Sarah still welcomed baby Violet with us just in time for the Xbox mixer. ๐ค๐ชป
Decades of quality content aside, Rooster Teeth has introduced me to some of the very best people in this industry. My heart goes out to everyone at RT ๐๐พ๐
Aaaaand that's a wrap on our anniversary stream!! Thanks to everyone who joined, listened, and celebrated What's Good Games over the past 7 years. We love y'all! ๐๐๐
Thank you all for being so supportive and encouraging, and for helping me take this leap of faith. It has brought me to tears to see the goodness of the people in this space. Let's keep helping each other, lifting each other up, and change this world for the better - together. ๐
My girl
@andrearene
is already back to being the busiest lady in the business, but y'all don't even know the half of how strong she is! She and
@johntdrake
have shown me the importance of advocating for yourself and trusting your gut.

You. Don't. Know. What. People. Are. Going. Through. Try to choose kindness.
#SimoneBiles
, thank you for showing us the strength and bravery it takes to love yourself.
Wild to think this time last year we were just meeting in person for the first time. Thank you for taking that risk with me,
@godfree

Comin' up on 7mos, and we've cheered each other on so hard, witnessed so many friends winning, and done WORK for each other so many times. I love being there for you,

Words cannot express how proud I am of this man. He is immesurably kind, talented, and deserving of every one of his successes. I can't wait to see what you do next, Danny. ๐
Friends, please speak about your passions. It can be intimidating for sure but when I told people I wanted to change careers, they helped. When I said I want an education in DE&I, I got it. When I stated I want to create orgs for greater representation, it happened.
#manifesting
Real talk I don't enjoy having to choose between putting all my skill points into weight lifting instead of social and science like I had planned. It's caused me to slow down playing the game that I was enjoying quite a bit.
One month ago, I crossed the threshold into motherhood. Nothing could have prepared me for the changes in my mind nor my body, but it feels like my heart has always been ready for this miracle. ๐ชป
