Based on going to the website, I think this is a joke, but still what the hell.

Sometimes you wake up early and get a view
Photo of the San Francisco waterfront near Ghirardelli Plaza, early morning. The Golden Gate bridge and Marin hills are in the distance. Dramatic shadows from some palmettos fall on an empty walking path. Bushy flora and benches line the path. Early morning shot of Hyde Street pier with the Argonaut Hotel and San Francisco skyline in the back. There are no people.

Meme of Lindsey and Tobias from Arested Development talking to each other. It is captioned: People always think mocap will generate shippable animation and won't need any cleanup and will be a huge savings Well did it work for those people? No, it never does, I mean these people somehow decide themselves into thinking it might, but... ... but it might work for us.

Hiyo, I'm Darya, and I'm an Art Producer! Before this, I produced other departments (like engineering and narrative), before that I was in QA, and before *that* I was a concept artist. It's been a winding road, and this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Why do modern routers look like menacing gamer hedgehogs
A black plastic square with 8 spiky antennae. The rims of the antennae are a bright red. The body has a big X. A black plastic square but beveled this time, with eight spiky antennae. One third of the body has a tight line design, and on the flat part is a blue and pink logo. A black plastic rectangle with lines angling towards a channel in its center. Light blue light emirates from underneath the center channel. Eight spiky antennae again, but this time only on three of its sides. A black spiky octagon, with only six antenna, to mix it up. No colors on this one.
