Like everyone who knew her, I am completely heartbroken by this awful news. Dani was an uncommonly kind, brilliant & wonderful human being who did so much for so many. A genuine force for good, who gave the best hugs in the history of the universe. RIP Dani.

Ostensibly my only original contribution of my AAA career was when @strayboom.bsky.social and I made the window wipers on a dry windshield squeaky in Project CARS 2 just 'cos we thought it'd be funny.
It ended up in a review with the game director highlighting "the team's attention to detail".
