tl;dr a man got so many reports of toxic behaviour in Deadlock that the entire game went down. Truly aspirational behaviour

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com
It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

I just spent 40 minutes straight as “Salvatore” the Italian mob guy for my kids because I did an accent when they were eating pizza and they couldn’t stop cackling. I’ve now exited the room to “change back” to dad.

What job are you extremely unlikely to ever get that you think you would kick ass at?
I think I could book compelling wrestling storylines.

I say again: Yapanomics.
Assuming they are selling it for $80
USD and generously giving them a 30% cut for both physical and digital sales, and they sell a $12/mo battle pass to every single user and get 70% of that, they only have to move a hair over 186 million copies, or double the user base of current gen consoles.

Fun personal thing: I've lost 8kg in the last 2 months so that's fun. Crazy what seeing your mother almost die from sepsis and be unable to recover and be in hospital longer than she needed to be because she lives an insanely sedentary lifestyle and now still needs a cane will do to you.

CDPR recently showcased the new Timeline Scaling feature in Unreal Engine, which can dynamically adapt localized voice lines to match not just lip flaps, but also key parts of a cutscene in any language!
