Some bugs are too good not to share.

"The Rapture":
It makes engaging with your next job significantly more difficult, too, because you want to be more callous after the last one betrayed your emotional investment.
I feel this. Getting laid off felt like sprinting directly into a brick wall. Sudden stop, no way forward, couldn't even see where I could go next. Just a brick wall.

I was working so hard at Bungie, and Heresy meant so much to me. But I'm glad it was well-received.
Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.

A project dear to me, posted (a day late) for Suicide Prevention Day. In 2024 I shared the d&d portrait this is about, the response was very kind & I decided I wanted to adapt it into something more, fully illustrated. Thanks for reading

Me (Tuesday): "There's only so much job hunt I can do in a day."
Me (Friday): "Fuck where'd all my time go."

Trying to work on a dozen animations for this big friendly boi, but I'm crammed with recruiter calls and screening questionnaires:

The less bright side of getting laid off is watching all the 10/10 Donkey Kong Bananza reviews roll in while I patiently wait to buy it later.

Odyssey was a perfectly distilled stream of delights. It's no surprise to me that team will deliver again and again.
The bright side of getting laid off yesterday is that I finally fixed my game's input registry state machine today.

Only so much job hunt I can do in a day, so it's #gamejam time.

I've been toying with dozens of names for my game. Tempted to name it #DoorsOfStone to challenge myself to release before Rothfuss finishes his trilogy.

Should be a pretty forgiving timetable.

I guess the content-mill algorithms created a wave of "Actually Tears of the Kingdom is bad" rage bait content?

So much fake, unnecessary hate because we live in hell.

Our company credit line automatically generates fake receipts for our purchases now.

Anyone else have a comfort story to the tune of "At least the dumb stuff my execs do with AI isn't the dumbest?"

"At least they're not automating financial fraud" is a small comfort, but I'll take what I can get.

I have been doing menu UX for the past 5-6 weeks, slowly working my way toward manual action selection.

Tons of new things sampled in this clip, but highlights are:
- Unit "intent" cards, debounced menu nav
- Hex position indicators
- Cross hotbars
- Battle speeds (Auto, 2x, Wait, "Semi-wait")
