Anyone local in games/immersive that would be down to meet up lmk!

@hmcd.bsky.social also hi! Dms don’t exist here so forgive the random flutter, but just wanted to send you some vibes of solidarity. I’ve been having a really rough time lately and it seems like you have been too, so here’s a lil message reminding you you’re not alone and are in my thoughts!!

Okay so apparently the reason that companies don’t really get back to me is because it’s not super clear what I do/what I offer… which is relatable, because yeah I’m kind of a bag of tricks

I need to add like a little “here is what my experience says” thing at the top of my resume I think

Universe decided to punch me in the gut several times this week with an unplanned vet visit, a rejection from a previously promising job, and now I lost my keys!!!

Hi I am alive, I am just bad at posting!!
Doing better in all the mental ways but still on the hunt for opportunities

Going through more stuff to sell… honestly pretty depressing but what can I do 🫠

That feel when you FINALLY get done an estimate for a client after way too many hours

I forgot that when people want to pay lump sum you basically have to do all the design upfront hahahaha

In talking to friends who have been in the industry 2-3 times longer than I have, their best guess is that a lot of massive companies blew money on web3/NFT/metaverse shit that just straight-up vanished when that crashed, and they’re spinning it instead of coming clean
all these layoffs make no fucking sense. Epic is making gangbuster money. I know I’m preaching to the choir but the bloated executive/investor compensation and its infinite growth imperative is killing us all and has to go. This is so fucked up.

Feels like every day I fluctuate between doing amazing and laying in bed feeling the impending doom of unemployment seeping into me

Feeling not so great lately. Can’t even get an interview… it’s really demoralizing. Things are getting tighter money-wise. Between job hunting and scrambling to list/sell things I’m so emotionally exhausted.

I'm so shocked. Who could ever have seen this one coming? Paint me pink and call me a banana my shockitude runneth over.
NFTs are officially dead.

95% of NFTs are estimated to be literally worthless, with pieces from top collections mostly worth $5-$10.

Roughly 25 million people are sat on dead assets, thanks to celebrity endorsements. The speculative bubble has popped:

Damn. Every day right now is just a new version of anxiety.

But also, shoutout to my cats. They have been rockstars through all this. I realize this sounds like something you’d say about humans but for real, my cats are my #1 support right now. My beautiful little beans.

Gotta say, unemployed life is not fun. Shoutout to all the freelancers who just vibe like this on the regular. As exciting as that life may be, I don’t think my poor brain could handle it. It is hard enough doing a normal job and trying to be human.

Hmm. Anxiety-induced insomnia is the worst. Been trying to sleep for… 5+ hours?
