I was harassed so bad at one point that when they reduced the workforce on a project I was on, giving me even more work and training to do for others and no one was listening to me inside the studio I had my first panic attack. These things are a lot easier if you get to work somewhere that listens

Vanaheim was incredibly difficult to tune as well - it’s a very awkward shape and it has a lot of story states to juggle. It was a nightmare in the weeks before ship. I think I may have laid down a couple times

I made whole systems in gow ragnarok, ur manliest game about men, and ppl were still mad bc of angrboda. u can’t stop me now I’m done with the fear

I have previously turned down work because of some cowardly feelings about the audience you might be facing right now and I want to tell you that I regret that, & that you have done the right thing. My advice would be to hand your socials off to a trusted friend to monitor/block for you ❤️

I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

the first meme I’ve ever really thought ‘damn this is always relevant’ about is the “two dumb bitches telling each other exactly” one. It’s so useful. You can use it on anything. My cats are doing it 🐈‍⬛ 🐱 🎵 🎵 🐱 🐈

It’s so cool when game creators branch out into other media. For example, the creators of Myst designed the shower controls in this AirBnB.

I always talk to these embattled programmers who are continually trying to politely say something like ‘that will take me two years not a month’ to people who are subliminally enraged that they are being told they are proposing something that is completely nuts to anyone who has done it before

Ditto for leaders who continually refer to experienced creatives as ‘difficult’ when they ask for something that is just not feasible or acceptable or is the complete opposite of what has been planned for, etc

It depends who is saying it. I have heard it frequently said by non-creatives to refer to experienced people they employ who in good faith are attempting to supply them with vital knowledge such as ‘what you think AI will do here is not actually what it will be able to deliver’

What’s hilarious to me is that the US sucks all the proletariat/business owner money into medical insurance and puts doctors into debt, and in the UK it just starves doctors directly. I hope we kick the shit out of Labour so they pay doctors and send money to hospitals

I don’t need a bs ‘health coach’ I need a qualified doctor who is available to see me????? We pay like thousands of dollars a month to a black hole for doctors to be too ‘busy’ to see patients!!!! It would be faster to go back to Scotland for the free shit and immediate care imo

Been a minute since we've done one of these, but: We recently passed the 3,600 subscriber mark! Merch is on the way -- after we sort through some logistics -- and another podcast isn't far off. Thank you to all of our subscribers, without whom none of this would be possible

I can’t remember how old you are (I’m sorry!) but I was here in 2016 (31?). it was a horrific time for me & it felt like starting again & I couldn’t have been more depressed. I have a lot of sympathy honestly. The only thing that saved me was a DM out of the blue from someone who knew I wanted work

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.
