After an amazing first week, I’m excited to share that I am now a contractor for Riot Games as a @TFT Esports Product Lead II 👊

TFT holds a special place in my heart as I’ve played since Set 1 & led the @GALeagueTFT community! I’m excited for what’s ahead & grateful for everyone who’s supported me along the way 💕

[Riot Aftermath @aftermath_dev]

Ahhhhhhh I’m so excited! 7 year bash soon 🎉🥳

[Teamfight Tactics @TFT]

Catch the cutest crab cake in the Convergence. Anniversary Scuttle Crab is here to party in TFT Patch 17.5.

The monologue about how the future will stamp out everything eventually, and Meryl Streep’s character advocating that Human element is what people truly care about and what gives art meaning really stuck with me. Putting it against the backdrop of The Last Supper was brilliant.

[Riot Aftermath @aftermath_dev]

I finally got to see The Devil Wears Prada 2, and I can’t recommend it enough.
It’s a great exploration of just how much entertainment has changed in the past 20 years, and the very real effects it has on those working in those industry.

this slack UI change has ruined my week

@RiotIksar Shutter Island is absolutely 10/10 for me. Less sold on Edge of Tomorrow but it’s at least an 8.5 for me.

[Riot Aftermath @aftermath_dev]

@Misfortuneee @imafloof This is the most simultaneously beautiful and a little bit cursed thing I’ve ever seen 😳

[Steve Kangas @KangasCasts]

Can someone get me a new LCS producer plz

[Riot Aftermath @aftermath_dev]

@dr_egirl @TFT @LUEshi781 This is so beautiful!

[Dr. Egirl @dr_egirl]

Our wedding cake had @TFT choncc on it... a first??? best little legend.

One thing game devs should learn is ABS: Always Be Shipping.

I learned that working with @notch As Mojang grew and new coders joined the team, there were complaints about old code/shortcuts/“bad” technical decisions.

My response was usually: without those decisions, none of us would be here. There probably wouldn’t even be a Minecraft if everything had been done the “correct” way from the start.

Games are explorative. You build, test, cut, rewrite, hack things together, and keep moving. A shipped imperfect system beats a perfect system that never makes it into players’ hands.

I’ve never worked on a game where you didn’t have to go back and touch old code/systems later anyway.

Realm of the Gods is also being adjusted in Patch 17.3.

Some parts of Space Gods feel like certain mechanics often close off opportunities rather than open them up. These range traits like Psionic and Arbiter to bigger mechanics like Encounters and the Realm of the Gods.

We've seen players feel frustrated that items often dictate their God Offering, and that the Pengu blessing is often an afterthought. We're tackling both of these by moving the item component choice to the Pengu blessing. This hopefully opens up the God Offering to really match what your team desires (or your favorite God Boon) without feeling like you have to sacrifice your intended items. This should also add a bit of extra thought into that 2nd choice when the offered Pengu champions just aren't what you need.

As always, thanks for playing and helping us make Space Gods the best set it can be!
