  • Out of the games I’ve been fortunate to work on, 1/7 require internet, and the 1 was my first industry job as QA. Everything else has been mobile, online required. 5/7 are no longer playable / removed from the internet.

    It makes me sad because my kids will never play a bunch of things I made. I can’t revisit them nostalgically. If I had made something in the 90s, it would be preserved still.

    I played the cards dealt to me to follow a dream and make a living, but I wish the industry wasn’t like this. The money has always been a role, but nowadays, it’s distorted so badly.



  • I am not a fan of her or the company she keeps.

    Having said that, people keep misunderstanding that photo. I thought the same thing, “Completely obvious it’s photoshopped.” But that’s been a miscommunication. Trump thinks it’s actually on his knuckles. Someone was trying to decode the symbols (Marijuana Leaf = M, Smile = S, Cross = 1, I don’t remember the 3).

    I don’t want these people to have any inch. I think that man is innocent and should return. But I can see what argument they were trying to make, in all fairness to generally incompetent people.


















  • Real answer: if you’re communicating, you want to be understood at some level. Knowing the audience changes the dynamic to fulfill that goal. If you use big words and your audience is 5 year olds, you likely won’t be understood.

    If someone gave me this advice, my first reaction wouldn’t be “You’re attacking me!” It would, “Hey, thanks for the advice. Can you unpack it further for me?” In work, I’ve done well by having a growth oriented mindset. There absolutely are bad faith actors, but listening to the advice of others has helped me grow.
