Lover of building user experiences. I dabble in gamedev, front-end, art & more. Happy to have you here!
Job interview tomorrow. It still feels surreal honestly. I haven't even been looking for that long compared to other devs, but I'm in a weird situation where finding suitable work can be pretty tough, and more than a month of rejections is no easy feat. Let's see if this one works out 🙏

someone please put my function's coat back on, she's getting cold

Pokémon Picross is genuinely so good, it's a shame they put huge paywalls on progressing. Most days I can only do the daily training until I have enough picrites to unlock the next area, which then only releases about 6 new puzzles before I'm stuck again. And yet its the best picross game I know!!!

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥
#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

Here's a reminder that play-by-post forum RPGs are free, fun, and a great way to meet lifelong friends :3

People throughout your life will continuously tell you to live less authentically. Most of them mean well, but they think the only way to live in our society is by following the trodden path. You have to constantly ask yourself if that is what you want your life to look like or not.

"Quality of Life Improvements" are sometimes a bad idea for your game. Don't round out your interesting edges because you're afraid a player will feel a hard feeling!

With covid doing the rounds right now, its a good time to remind everyone that doctors recommend you avoid strenuous activity for at least 6 weeks post infection - EVEN IF YOU FEEL TOTALLY NORMAL.

Covid is much more than a respiratory infection; it is busy ripping through all your internal organs.

It is genuinely dishearteningly difficult to find a job in front-end or gamedev as a junior with burnout symptoms 😔

Happy #PortfolioDay!
I place and sometimes animate pixels. I really like top-down environments, tilesets and limited palettes.

My next game is a Tetris style word game called Writer's Block
Spell words one block at a time and set up combos by sandwiching words between each other
Aiming to release early 2026!

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices,
If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text.
You get the idea.

If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

I sometimes wonder if it's worth sharing my experience here as someone diagnosed with anxious/avoidant personality disorder. But then I get too anxious so I avoid it lol
