Interview Q’s

I've been interviewing for the past couple of weeks, and I wanted to share some of the most interesting questions and answers I've given. I often take copious notes, or sometimes recount from memory, so these may not be verbatim, but you get the idea. Q's in italics. Q: Tell us about…

I got laid off today.

Guess I can finally goto the beach and take a day off. Why did I wait so long?

So many people affected. Families. Please be kind. Most everyone I know is confused, why? They cared about what they did and the people they worked with.

I can't remember the last time we had a healthy economy and a republican majority. #trumpflation is painful

Shocking!

My g-pa didn't volunteer for service in ww2 for this garbage from behind the presidential podium.

Can we kick him out and revoke his citizenship?

This is bad design, not on you at all @ziggyprincess.bsky.social

Too many games have adopted a punishing model of "perfection to advance," limiting the players that can enjoy our games until their ending.

Someone needs to send this to the #Seahawks offensive coordinator for me. And dude, I'm not a hawks fan either. #tnf

I wish the Blues played the Rangers once a week until the end of season. We'd make the playoffs.

I'm surprised the rags haven't let their coach go. That team is much better than they play.

Making games feels so very slow until, all of the sudden, you run out of time and need to release.

I'm a procrastinator, so I get it, but for super planners and producers - what a nightmare!

This little dude dropped by this morning to remind me that it's not the size of the fighter, is the size of the fight in the fighter.

Have a great weekend yall, do something amazing today!

I'm still playing Mad Max after picking it out of the backlog. Excellent time waster.

Good night for star gazing - 3 meteors in about an hour. One was extremely bright and covered about half the sky on its decent.

It's a really fun game? 25 minute sessions that plays well with random matchmaking or friends - pretty amazing title if you ask me. Not a lot of games can say that. I'm a fan. Meh on awards, I trust the players!
How did Helldivers 2 not get nominated for game of the year? Like fr

@marksimon.bsky.social nothing crazier than getting liked by someone with the same exact name! I thought I was hacked.

I think I helped make a few of them 😁
A gentle reminder that review scores mean nothing. They exist solely because boring people like numbers.

Read the words. Figure out whether the writer's ideals align with yours and for what reasons they enjoyed a work. A lot of my favourite games of all time, most would consider 6 or 7/10 material.

Bot of War is an extremely polished, fun level. Snagging an extra trophy after finding all of the golden ravens is a nice bonus.

#astrobot GOTY?
