@crankymate It gets worse, trust me.


@AndrewADavidson Yep….urge to quit tech and become a farmer is rising again…


Oh god, this. I’m not a writer as such, but I identified with every single bit of this. 2017 sucks, and it’s the new normal. 🙁 https://t.co/ax6uM4uq1q


@delitescere @darthted @SydTechLeaders @CTOSchool Dude. Like it wouldn’t already be on the list!

“There should be more women in game development. It shouldn’t be a niche thing.” 🙌👏 @IngaPflaumer #womeningamedev https://t.co/MHVO1JRHg9


Hearing from the panellists. A lot of them came to games via art, music. A few started their own companies! #womeningamedev https://t.co/oXIjgDSq2g


😳 @samanthalin’s game described as “Jane Austin meets Dragon Age.” This is relevant to my interests. https://t.co/LXdkwy4Tbx #womeningamedev


One way to get over Imposter Syndrome is to realise everybody else knows just as little as you do. QFT. #womeningamedev


Panel moderator Teresa from @ustwo doing a good job of wrangling six panellists – including @Gaohmee on Skype! #womeningamedev https://t.co/8OIbz6Sn76


Gamer culture and fear of abuse kept some women out of industry and some online games… but reality hasn’t been too bad. #womeningamedev https://t.co/kplh9QYN4Z


Most panellists have good experiences… but @Gaohmee has copped a load of shit online. Depressing but needed reality check. #womeningamedev 😕

Advice to those starting out: find your tribe. Good advice. I’m leaning on mine right now. #womeningamedev

@marcysutton @AndrewMamo @smashingmag Bloody genius.


@Gaohmee It was good you said it. I was surprised how positive everyone else was! It was a good reminder that the issues still exist.


@Gaohmee I’m so sorry that stuff happened to you though. It really sucks.


Had a mini mid-life crisis of confidence. Reached out to my tribe, who didn’t disappoint. Thanks @the_patima @gilmae @knitterjp @the_snook

@Gaohmee Oh hells yeah. Being gaslighted sucks. I recognise other people being treated badly far more readily than I do myself. 🙁
