Jimmy Chi, find me on Bsky

To my former coworkers impacted by today’s Epic Games layoffs: you are incredibly talented, and any team would be lucky to have you. I know this firsthand. I was part of the 2023 layoffs, so I know how disorienting, painful, and unfair this kind of day can feel. If you’re in shock, angry, numb, heartbroken, or all of the above, you are not alone. This is not a reflection of your talent, your work, or your worth. Some of the most brilliant, hardworking, thoughtful people I’ve ever worked with were at Epic. Truly. These are people who care deeply, build at an incredibly high level, and show up for their teams again and again. To those impacted today, I am so sorry. The industry is losing some absolutely incredible people, and I hate that this keeps happening. To everyone hiring, please take a serious look at the folks coming out of Epic right now. There is so much talent, experience, and heart in this group. And to everyone affected, I mean this with my whole chest any place would be lucky to have you. 💜

Hey Creators! Helping out some indie dev friends this week again, and wanted to show a little extra love to Where the Chips Fall since it was the creator’s bday yesterday too 💜 It’s a super fun blackjack roguelite with Balatro vibes and a Cuphead style aesthetic. Please ❤️ + 🔁 to help more creators find this! DM me for a key and I’ll send one your way, that’s probably fastest lol

From our game industry family to yours happy holidays from the Dickens Fair! Grateful to be surrounded by such brilliant, kind, creative people. Sometimes the game industry feels chaotic and uncertain but moments like this remind me how much community matters. Sending some joy to all my fellow devs, creators, and friends this season. 🎄 @TenaciousChi @rachelheleva @alivetinyworld @_cattostrophic

I used to keep my head down in games and let the work speak for itself. But tbh with all the layoffs and instability lately, the thing I’m most grateful for is meeting people who get it. Not collecting contacts but genuine friends who are brilliant, kind, and share the same love for this weird industry. Truly honoured and so, so lucky. 💜 @ASHIMOSITY @TenaciousChi @Faucius @rachelheleva

Finally met the myth, the legend @TenaciousChi IRL 🥹 We’ve basically leapfrogged each other across half the game industry (same studios, different timelines) and only just crossed paths in person. Long overdue and so worth the wait 💜
