I had a thread where I complained about how "unread" pips in inventories+menus "drive me crazy". I deleted it; it was an emotional take on a complex design space.

Instead I'll talk about:
1: The problems they're trying to solve
2: Why I think they're often a bad solution
3: Why they happen anyways

Almost thought I'd lost my most prized possession, an Adobe rubik's cube I found in a tip shop in Tasmania

woah my name is in a gamerant article 😳

Community management for BTS has been SO rewarding and it's not even out yet. Whether it's cutting a trailer reel or writing a dev diary, stepping back to see the big picture of this crazy project is overwhelming in the best way possible.

Horrified to hear about the NZ government's proposals to reverse Māori sovereignty. Thank you to my Kiwi colleagues for schooling me on toitū te tiriti ❤️
We stand firmly against the assault on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

I have lured a flock of currawongs into my backyard. Spent a good hour yesterday just chilling with them and enjoying their beautiful song ❤️

feeling immense power, strength & authority remembering that i internally pronounce bluesky like "brewski" and no one can do anything about it

Got to join the industry panel giving feedback on first-year game dev student projects at AIE Melbourne. Very fun opportunity!! projects were also very solid, with most work needed in production considerations & the way pitches were structured
