I want this game design shit more than anything…if given the chance, I will work so hard. How do I show that to others through a resume or portfolio? I have a story and it’s one of resilience. I’m fiercely determined and willing to be underpaid bc my partner is a chemical engineer lol

how do I decide if a game is worth finishing? I’ve learned so much since starting my visual novel I’d literally do so much differently but I couldn’t possibly start over but i’m unsure if it’s worth finishing in its current state

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

"We were able to extend out [laid-off workers] impacted period, because their timers didn't even start until we signed the memorandum of understanding [about the layoffs],” Alyssa Gobelle, senior motion graphics artist and Zenimax Online Studios union bargaining committee member, told Aftermath. “Even their 60 days of continued employment and pending termination notices didn't happen until that ink was signed. So instead of starting July 2, that started mid-August, so that essentially bought them a lot more weeks of pay and healthcare security while we figured this out. That's sort of a soft win in a way, because obviously [it's] not in the contract, but it was an impact of us being able to bargain. We were able to buy them more time."

As a result, ZOS union members who lost their jobs in July technically remain employed until October. The ZOS union also squeezed an additional four weeks minimum severance out of Microsoft, bringing the total up to eight weeks across the board. On top of all that, the union also secured 18 months of recall rights for everyone on the canceled Zenimax MMO that lost their jobs, meaning that if there’s a relevant job opening at Zenimax Online Studios, there’s now a chance that workers who’ve been let go will get their old jobs back – as opposed to the company throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

You know what they say..."If you don't use it, you lose it"

Well, I realized I hadn't used my HTML/CSS skills in a minute as I've been in the land of C# for grad school.

So I decided to make a website to serve as a portfolio!
