My wife (who has a masters in technical writing) was asked today by an interviewer if she knew what technical writing was and then was asked to describe what a technical writer does. I do not think this person should be a hiring manager.

I am so fed up with what is happening in the games industry and yet I don't wanna be bitchy on main bc I always fear someone who's actually working on these games sees that and thinks I mean them but I just wanna tell you I have been there and I see you and I know it is not on you

Suffering from ADHD burnout right now. I'm productive during my days at work but I'm depressed, exhausted and feel constantly frustrated. I wish it was easier to recover, it's exhausting trying to unexhaust

The #riftbound bans are pretty crazy, didn't expect that much from a first ban wave but I also didn't expect the game to be balanced on first try. Didn't impact me luckily (I play Renata, God help me if they ever ban a card in this F-tier pile). Very excited to play the skirmish this weekend though!

Umm major update Twitch is being ass yet again and affecting the way YOU the viewers have to watch Ads. So I'm saying no and removing Ads from my channel entirely. This means I won't get any ad rev from you tuning in BUT it means you all can still have channel points and redeems and stuff like that.

I had an hour drive this morning and it gave me time to think, and in that time I think I figured out how to solve a piece of code in my game. I was stuck for a while on some math/geometry issue but maybe I've solved it. We'll see when I get home and try to implement it

Caught up on the #2xko top 8 from Genesis X3 and it was actually very cool. The game is so close to being incredible, like one or two patches a handful of characters and I think it will be one of the best fighting games around

Played #spiritforged #riftbound Prerelease and I'll be honest, not a fan of the gameplay. Maybe it was just because I had Renata as my legend, but I played Irelia 3 rounds in a row and it was pretty tedious. Just build big unit, haste it in, repeat. Even worse if it had ganking from the boots

Every time I have to watch a cutscene in #TFT so I can leave the game I close the game and I'm done for the day. There is no better design choice they could make that would cause me to swear off spending money. Literally designed to be an annoying time waste. Thank you @riotgames.com

I finished my first sprint on my game and just started the new one. That's one month down, many more to go. One change I'm making now is investing in making hacknplan more usable for me and getting my wife involved on the art side. Hacknplan is now integrated with discord and git for better tracking

New #2xko patch is great. It had the only change I cared about which was time winder nerfed. Played against a lot of ekko yasuo with braum and it felt difficult but okay. Thank you @riotgames.com

I watched #Tron: Ares and it was a 6.5/10, but only because the dialogue was a 1/10 but the special effects, action, adventure, literally anything that wasn't the spoken word was very fun and awesome.

Like most art, most people will never see the half made pieces, and the filled up trash cans. They just see the end result, and so many incredible end results, that they believe that it must be easy because how else could there be so many

What was the first game that was so"scary"that you had to turn it off and couldn't finish it? Amnesia the dark descent. There's a scripted monster part and I just couldn't do it. Game is to stressful

After a few sessions of programming; making data types, resource types, and linking it all together, I ran my game for the first time without it crashing or giving 50+ errors. It's not pretty and the UI overlaps itself but it feels good lol #indie #gamedev #godot
