I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

Monster Hunter getting rid of the goofy running and dodging near monsters is probably the best thing they've done this generation. Coupled with scenes that make the Hunter step up and take things on, you're presented as this seasoned adventurer and not some fearful comedy relief.

Souls and Monster Hunter heroes healing over here with potions and flasks. Meanwhile Jin in Ghost of Tsushima just wills his health back with positive thought.
