Hot take on fantasy books… I don’t like it when they replace swear words with thematic ‘swears’. It makes me not take the scene seriously 🤷🏻‍♀️

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Producer: To reach a full cup by Q4, we’ll need to get the cup at least half full by Q1. The last 50% always takes longer.

I'm presenting at the IGDA GUR SIG 2024 Online Speaker Series about Arachnophobia Mode in WoW! This was a cool intersection between #GamesUR, #GameDesign, & #a11y. There's lessons here for any studio looking at arachnophobia a11y in their game. The video goes live on Friday, November 15th!
An announcement for Nikki's talk. The Games User Research SIG Logo is in the top right.

Live Q&A: 7:30pm GMT/ 2:30pm EST/ 11:30am PST
Description: For the last 20 years, World of Warcraft has expanded the world of Azeroth, allowing players to see new continents, new races, new enemies…and a whole lot of spiders.

An overview of WoW’s Arachnophobia Mode feature and how it works.

Career transitions are wild. I love change though, it’s why I got in to vfx to begin with. Sometimes you draw, sometimes you code and it is both artistic and logical. In production, I still use the artistic and logical while adding in empathetic and lots of systems thinking. I love it.
