“Hey! Listen!” 🧚🏼♀️ Your objective: Select a Sidekick ⬆️
For anyone who works in games, I haven’t met anyone who made it into the industry who didn’t mention someone who helped them on their Main Quest to work in video games.
There’s always the friend, the mentor, the colleague, the professor, the conference network, the person next to them on a flight, the opportunistic coffee chat, the shoot-my-shot “I’m going to reach out to that person” person.
It’s one of the things I love about working and being in this industry and around this community. They’re some of the most helpful people 💜
They remind me of sidekicks who are there with you along the journey. They get invested in your story. They want to get you to the destination. Sometimes they could even be annoying enough because they care (anyone get my Navi reference?).
Reminder that you don’t have to be on the path alone. Select a sidekick. Or even 2. Heck, get more and assemble your crew.
💝 Surround yourself with people who will only push you towards your goals.
🌈 Pick people who will motivate you even when things look grim.
🤺 Select those who will help fight alongside you
💎 Someone who will share their resources
⛑ And even help heal and keep your health bar up
And no matter what anyone thinks, I know fairies make the best sidekicks! 😇😎😉
🪄 Manifesting I can be a fairy character in a game one day!
You’re the main character. Who’s your sidekick?
