Time to update again!

I'm a mid-senior designer looking for work on game projects.
I'm a ~15 year veteran of both AAA and indie, with primary skills in level design and narrative design.
I've also done technical design, art, programming, tech writing, and technical QA

DMs are open!

"if you want to play the harry potter game you should pirate it instead" or, and hear me out, you could have some goddamn self respect and play any one of the near-infinite number of other games that exist instead. but what do I know? I'm just an attractive genius who's better than you.

Fuck Fortnite, Fuck Epic, Fuck The Game Awards.

Posting this to their X but NOT their Bluesky just SHOWS they know they're doing some bigoted shit & just don't wanna get called out for it.

Imagine hurting your Transgender playerbase like this? And your Transgender viewers {In the case of TGA}?

***Finally*** managed to convince my boss not to use genAI in company-branded ads, photos and videos bc it’s toxic to the brand’s integrity (among other reasons), and

on the one hand I’m glad that they’re at least committing to that

but also sad that it had to be fought for at all

I’m so tired

While everyone's posting TGA ads, Werner Herzog is a silly gimmick, but Warframe by far wins my award for "best AAA live-service looter-shooter whose story is fundamentally about PTSD and is actually a deeply nuanced and subtle depiction of trauma"

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

Fully old enough to remember when the term "AI" wasn't forcibly synonymous with corporatocratic kleptocracy.

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.

This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
