Too many cursed mechanical keyboards in a row, so I went with something a bit more reliable, with a softer wrist rest. It’s gonna take some getting used to!

I have chosen to resign and this week is my last week at Electronic Arts.
There is currently no 'next' lined up. I'm taking some time, both to recover from stress and burnout, but also to find some passion again to work on some of my own projects.

Finished Stray Children. Despite times I found it frustrating and obtuse, I respect so much of what it set out to do. It is so intentional in how it is designed, and how it makes you find empathy even when every force acts against you. May the world become a kinder place.

It sucks that players are having to scour every asset and line of dialogue

A review is an op-ed by definition. You’re just upset at the criteria being used.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended AI following Eurogamer's 2/5 Arc Raiders review, which criticised the game's use use of AI voice generation. "AI dialog generation + human personality and tuning could totally transform gaming," Sweeney said.

Honeymoon in Japan!
Had an amazing couple of weeks exploring and taking photos, my husband driving around Lake Ashi, riding the Shinkansen, eating a ton of good food, capsule machines, and drinking so much canned coffee.
