A person wants to dress nice for once and gets called a witch and baba yaga (affectionately). Honestly not mad about it.

As a young person with a huge impostor syndrome who uses walking aid, not believing I actually deserve to be using it—this is heartbreaking.

I’m the closest I’ve ever been to my chronic illness diagnosis, but the last time I was pretty close I got diagnosed with cancer, so maybe I won’t celebrate just yet. 😆

gamedev interviews be like: it was really good talking to you and you meet the requirements, but here’s a thing in your portfolio completely unrelated to the job that we think was not done well enough, so it’s going to be a no.

Saw the new Tommy Wiseau movie yesterday and it instantly became one of the best bad movies I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a lot of them.

And once again—just as every piece has begun to fit together and my world felt more peaceful—everything went to shit. Somehow I still have my job, but many of my colleagues weren’t so lucky. I was really proud of what we were doing.

Saw Iron Lung yesterday and I honestly think it’s a good game adaptation. I almost screamed of joy when Simon first used the camera, it was so similar of a vibe as when playing the game. Not a perfect movie by far, but good enough to recommend.

Been working on a portfolio piece lately, my first sculpt of a person from scratch—second ever. I had so much fun making the hair, though I yet have to add lashes. XGen is wonderful to work with, but makes Maya crash so often. 😭 #characterart #3D #forger

Always fun to see how differently people are treating you after you submit your resignation. 🫠 I know getting a job (in gamedev, but not only) is extremely difficult nowadays, but don’t forget you deserve to work in a place where you’ll be respected and appreciated.

there are times when weeks on end I’d be seeing nothing but normal-ish stuff on the internet and I say to myself “the internet isn’t that weird after all is it” and then I see the absolute most batshit crazy thing and then I know everything is still in its place in the universe

supervisors be like: QA is just an entry level position to gamedev, it’s a red flag if you don’t want to change it after a few years. but at the same time like: we won’t allow you to change your position, you want to do something different? You’re good at something? Tough luck, we’ll never use it.

Why is it so difficult to find a good SPF, why is everything too sticky, or smells horribly, or burns my skin, or does all of the above.

I’ve got so many thoughts on the recruitment process now that I’m taking part in it from the employer’s side that I think I can share some tips. - First of all: if you apply for a job in the EU, don’t forget about the GDPR clause (so many EXPERIENCED people forget to include it) 1/?

We got a resume recently from some kid who wants to get into gamedev. They said they want to make their own game someday and to do this they have to “start from the bottom” and become a tester. This attitude (fueled by studios all the time) is what makes people treat testers like shit.

See a tattoo, post a tattoo Not on me but by me, healed. Inspired by a frog tattoo I saw but now I can’t remember the artist’s name—if you know, lemme know.
