Life update time: I'm starting my first day at a new job on Monday! I've been hired by Mercell here in Norway to head up their community efforts.
I'm sad to be leaving games, but it's also a unique opportunity to get to know a different industry and get some new experiences.
After 3.5 absolutely incredible years, today is my last day at Frontier Developments.
I've been so lucky to work on some truly amazing games and the experience of everything I've done the last few years will live with me forever. I've learned and grown so much.

Also, Jameson doesn't know that Parker is Spider-Man. For all he knows, Goblin is just out to be, well, a crazed villain. Why wouldn't he stick his neck out for his employee?
Kjære med-menn, la oss prate litt. Det har gått mye fram og tilbake om kondomer på Twitter i det siste. Kvinner vil at vi skal bruke dem, men flere av dere vil ikke. Dette er leit, for kondom er en fantastisk ting. La meg fortelle hvorfor!
Community managers work incredibly hard to fight for players, to champion their wants and needs to the developers.
We're the ones reading your thoughts, comments, feedback and suggestions. We help make the games you love better.
Imagine coming after community managers…
The people who fight your corner, who talk directly to the dev teams to try and give you a voice and get your wants and hopes for a game acted on.
Absolutely mind numbing levels of self destruction and toxicity from that bunch, huh?
Happy work anniversary to me! One year ago I joined the awesome community team at Frontier 😊❤️ 2020 was a weird year, but I can honestly say that I had a pretty awesome time at work!
If you hadn't already guessed it, my role at risk due to the redundancies happening at Frontier.
Over the past 3 years I've had the pleasure of working on some of my favourite games with some amazing people.
Not out just yet, but open to seeing what's out there.
Though I don't work there anymore, I just want to give a huge shoutout to the Planet Zoo dev team.
They are a wonderful, absolutely incredible bunch of hardworking people who put their hearts and souls into making Planet Zoo the very best.
Congratulations on the launch!

If everyone had worked in a retail or servicing job for at least a year I think there would be much greater respect for people who work in those fields.
Just a quick message from your friendly neighbourhood community manager:
Please, be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on.
I know that I fail at it sometimes myself, but I'm trying *so hard*, but please... Be kind.

The modern focus on aesthetics has removed all sense of belonging to anything to focus entirely on surface. Capitalism got to subcultures and made everything about how you look, and nothing else.
In case you missed it, ya boy is looking for a new job!

Happy holidays everyone! I was clearly very excited about the turkey dinner at the restaurant earlier tonight.
My partner and I are celebrating in the UK this year. Usually we'd be with our respective families back in Norway, but we were aiming for a somewhat calmer holiday.
realitet ikke nødvendigvis gjelder for alle. Det er derfor uttalelser som "å knulle med kondom er som å spise karamell med papiret på" blir møtt med himlende øyne og sinte reaksjoner. Det viser en total mangel på å forstå kvinners situasjon og er en sinnsykt egoistisk uttalelse.
@Gaohmee
Details matter! If you're reporting a bug for a multiplatform game; what platform are you playing on? If it's a game with an online component; where you playing online or offline? How did the bug happen? Did you do anything out of the ordinary?
We aren't mind readers.
✈️Time to go to Cambridge. It's really moving countries, let alone flying, during a pandemic. Keeping my fingers crossed I don't get COVID on the way!
Going new places to live there is always daunting. At New years I couldn't even imagine getting a new job and moving countries.
What an incredible week I've had! Two interviews (Monday and Tuesday), then follow-up interviews tomorrow and Friday. Not only that, I've got two more interviews next week!
Things finally feel like they're picking up again
So what's next for me? I'm joining the good folks over at Frontier Developments as Senior Community Manager, to help out on Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo and Jurassic World Evolution.
It's a pretty big step up, for me, and I'm excited to join their team over in Cambridge.

, I want players to understand that decisions made during development (whether it's cutting or scaling down content) aren't made out of malice or to screw over the players.
Life update: After 3.5 years of working at Funcom, I'm no longer with the company.
It feels really weird to think about, because other than school there are few other things I've done continuously for an extended period of my life.
Påstand: "Det er så usexy å stoppe midt i og ta på en kondom."
Fakta: Å bruke kondom viser at du er en omtenksom, ansvarsfull og trygg partner. Det forteller partneren din at du tar begges sikkerhet på alvor og at du er et fuckings voksent menneske. Dette er sexy!
Happy 5 year (!) anniversary to the Early Access release of
@ConanExiles
, the first game I ever worked on as a community manager! 2020 marks my 6th year on this side of the games industry and that's just wild to me!
Welp, I must have managed to manifest something, because an hour after tweeting this I get an email confirming a second stage interview at a place I interviewed yesterday 💪😅
Ja, det er mulig å bytte prevesjonsmiddelmerke (trodde aldri jeg skulle skrive det ordet i mitt liv), men still deg selv dette spørsmålet: er du villig til at partneren din skal gå gjennom månedsvis med kjipe bivirkninger bare så du kan knulle uten gummi?
I'm watching Raiders of the Lost Ark with a group of friends. They're laughing and giggling at it, saying it's silly. I want to yell at them for mocking one of the greatest adventure movies of all time.
We launched a game today! Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition is now available on Nintendo Switch and I'm incredibly proud of all the work that's gone into it.
Life finds a way and The Park is open.

It's my last workday before the Christmas break and I'm, as is tradition, wearing my Christmas tree sweater.
It's incredibly hot in here and I am slowly sweating to death.
To anyone affected by the Activision/Blizzard layoffs, Funcom has several positions available in both the US and in Norway. We offer a healthy work/life balance and a great corporate culture. Come make great games with us and have fun doing it

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.
Join Senior Community Manager Jens Erik and members of the Jurassic World Evolution dev team as they look back at the last two years of Jurassic World Evolution.
Due to the COVID-19 situation this was pre-recorded while everyone was working from home..
Kondom er det eneste prevensjonsmiddelet som beskytter både mot graviditet og seksuelt overførbare infeksjoner. Denne har vi hørt ofte, men det er verdt å gjenta. Dette er hovedgrunnen til at du bør bruke kondom. Punktum.
Påstand: "Dama er så tørr så det er vondt når jeg prøver å gå inn i henne med kondom på"
Kompis, da er det ikke kondomen som har skylda. Kanskje hun ikke er tilstrekkelig klar? Evt. så trenger dere glidemiddel. Snakk med partneren din.
First night in a new place went okay, but I slept really fitfully. Still tired and a little run down after traveling. Housemates are nice and even bought me food for when I arrived 🙂 It's weird being in a wholly new place, but I'm going to try to make it home.
Så kan du legge deg ved siden av partneren igjen og begge kan nyte hverandre og kjenne på "ettergløden". Dama slipper å gjøre en "crab walk" til toalettet for å bli kvitt babysausen din.
According to Facebook, I graduated from university with a master's degree five years ago. If I'd told myself then that in five years I'd be working for one of the oldest and biggest game developers in Norway I probably wouldn't believe it. Way to go, me :)

I'm 34 years old and I've been working on the dev side of games as a CM for 6 years. If you count my time as a games journalist, I've been in games for 10 years!
I took a chance on a freelance gig at 24, then took a chance at a CM job in 2016, and here I am 🎮🦕
I’m 44 and I’ve been in the gaming industry for five years 🤙
Before I turned 40 I decided to follow my dream to work for
#Xbox
and quit my job that I'd had for 12 years. Today I'm living that dream 💚
Quote retweet with your age and an optional selfie.
Also on this day: 7 years ago I completed the first draft of my master's thesis. 4 years later I helped launch Conan Exiles out of Early Access at Funcom. 💪
[08/05/2021]
Some games that were released on that day throughout the years:
(2007) Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
(2009) Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis
(2014) Age of Mythology: Extended Edition
(2018) Conan Exiles
(2018) Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
I got a harmonica for Christmas and I've been trying to learn how to play. It's slow going, still, but I'm somewhat able to play the intro to Piano Man! I use tabs to remember what to play, though.
Any tips on learning an instrument? It's been a while since my piano lesson days.
