Hi Bluesky folks! I'm a technical experience designer on Apex Legends. My work is mainly architecting UI systems and breaking them down into smaller modular, feature-agnostic, and reusable pieces, as well as polishing and shipping individual UIs. Here are some of my favourite features I've shipped!

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

A studio as talented as Crystal Dynamics falling apart because the suits at two of the most unscrupulous vultures in the industry—Embracer and Take Two—couldn’t agree on IP bullshit is maybe one of the most frustrating possible outcomes, if also entirely predictable.

A project from 2019 and the first time I made an animated screen that would then be a key point of most of my personal work. My Kiosk idea was to combine animation with environment into one project and to push my PBR workflows on a personal project.

Why didn't the character in the story behave with perfect watertight logical efficiency? Why weren't their actions exactly economical? Why did they do something impulsive or imprecise? Why didn't they make the flawless optimal choice I would have made after observing their circumstances externally?

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

I have a ton of stuff saved from college, incl. a 2009 presentation by a hiring manager at Obsidian

This is one of his slides, containing some of the blatant anti-Japan racism that was absolutely rampant in games and game media at that time.

Sadly, some people in games today never left 2009

"The word Antisemitism is being weaponized to harm Black and Brown communities" and "Antisemitism is a real active growing threat in the West" are 2 things that don't just co-exist but work with each other and this is not a hard thing to grasp if collective liberation is the core of your politics.

"Can video games tell stories better than books" idk man, is a cream puff more numinous than a pair of jorts? Does the sky have more of the Buddha-nature than a rubbermaid container full of loose hdmi cables? Try an argument that's even remotely a thing.
