That is an excellent point, thank you

Hard agree on ZZZ combat > Genshin, no question! I wish it were more Genshin style open world though

Sheesh. As a freshly looking for work game dev, one of my most IMMEDIATE sources of anxiety is “which 1000 hour genre that I love but am a few years out of date on / unfamiliar with the endgame of do I need to most rapidly skill up in for the purpose of interviews”

Man buying a prebuilt PC has become expensive huh

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Thank you Chante!

I feel you man! We deserve a kinder industry.

Riot's mistake could be your company's chance to nab an all time professional, please reach out to Steven if you know of any Senior Game/Systems Design opportunities!

Thank you Athena! Looks like there’s a few roles that might be interesting, I’ll definitely let you know when I apply!

hey YEAH! Also Emberville lookin sick bro congratulations!

Nooo! Sorry to hear brother!

Someone hire this guy fast, he's amazing. 😁

Well, let me be clear- it was a “these roles on this project are being eliminated, please apply for other projects via our internal job board” kind of conversation; but I wouldn’t mind a more managed transition.

thank you LaTia!

thanks bro ❤️

Little morning thread bump 🫠

Astra knows what it sounds like when a tv show ends, because that’s her best opportunity to encourage us for a walk 😂

next weekend is theoretically a special “returning player” weekend, if we get enough folks interested…!

I’m cheering you on!

Wow, thank you for those very kind words Matthew! I appreciate it :)

Every interaction I have ever had with Steven has been delightful. He is truly delighful on so many levels.

He is also an incredible DM and game master, which for folks who have ever tried to excercise that muscle know, is more work (people, organization, creative) than any job you have ever done.

right on developmental targets; only two more years until interrogating the spelling of esports

Thank you very much!

Thanks friend :)

Fingers crossed!

Appreciate it MJ! It’s so true!

It’s not a space I’ve worked in historically, but I’d jump for the right project!

thanks Mitch!

what an excellent suggestion 👀👀😊

appreciate it Bobby!

I appreciate that very much regardless of sway!

I still believe in peace; I still believe that we all, the everyday citizens of every place, deserve to live without fear and chaos imposed upon us by our leaders.
