Hello there! I'm a game designer currently working on Rainbow Six Siege.

These days, I mainly work on designing new operator gameplay, including for ops like Ram, Deimos, Skopos, and Rauora (with more to come).

I also love spreading awareness about the art of game design!

Waiting to watch a screening of The Room and the urge to blast Blinding Lights by the Weeknd right now is strong.

Most of those I understand, though yeah it might take a second to process. Except for "fireplace window". In my mind, that would be for the single window that overlooks the snowmobile breach.

Justin Loranger-Ahluwalia @trichotome.bsky.social · Sep 17

"Solar stairs" for the first one. "Mez" ("Mez breach" or "Mez window" if I need to be more specific) for the second, unless you meant the floor below, in which case that's "Fireplace".

Excuse you that is clearly auburn. /s

Personally I call them VIP and guitar. If left to my own devices I would probably call VIP "lounge" or something but that would probably get confused with the other room adjoining bedroom. So instead I just go by what my past teammates have called it.

I found a bunch of spare Boston SI 2025 bundle codes, and I don't want them to go to waste. No need to like or follow; it's first come first served. Some of these may already be claimed, and this is all I've got, so please do not ask for more. Good luck and enjoy!

It's 3:51am, I need to wake up for work in about 3 hours, and all I can do is toss and turn because I can't stop thinking about ways to modularise operator documentation.

Bruh what even is this brain of mine...

A fine addition to the collection.
(This was an internal gift for those of us on the ops cell that worked on Denari; thanks Dorian and Eric!)

Nothing like back to school to reignite my absolutely blazing pedestrian road rage...

Justin Loranger-Ahluwalia @trichotome.bsky.social · Sep 1

I decided to splurge a bit and get myself some birthday treats.

Between these purchases and the Siege season, don't expect to see me for a while; I'll be busy gaming.

I am now of expedition age.

Some roadbumps aside, it was a pretty great year. Very eager for this next one to be extra special. If all goes to plan, it'll be an absolute highlight both for my career and my personal life.

We continue.

Y10S3 Operation High Stakes is around the corner and with it comes Denari & his T.R.I.P. Connectors!

I was given early access to Y10S3 (thank you Ubisoft!) & managed to bring his gadget to life. Can't wait to play more Denari soon!

Will we share some of these strats in the future? Maaaybe. We'll see.

Though knowing this community, I'm sure you'll all come up with even crazier ones as soon as the TS hits.

A propos of nothing, I'm a big fan of www.twitch.tv/sternab 's R6 maps. Very useful for drawing up plans, especially if those plans involve a bunch of long straight lines ; )

Fun fact about the new season reveal: a group of us on the dev team made a "Denari strat" group to come up with some cool setups to show off in the reveal.

We really wanted to inspire people to consider all of his crazy potential.

Today is season reveal day! I hope you're all ready!

Today also marks my 5 year anniversary at Ubisoft. It's been a whirlwind, but in the best way. It's allowed me to work on my passion, and connect with all of you in this great community. For that, I'll forever be thankful. ❤️

Why is it that every time I take an elevator to the 3rd floor and someone else gets on, they're going to the 2nd?

So many buttons, and you had to press the only one that mildly inconveniences me. 💀

I'm tired and this popped into my head so I wrote it down for fun.

Alignments answer the question: "Do you jaywalk?"

Alignments answer the question: "Do you jaywalk?"
- LG: Never. It endangers people unnecessarily.
- NG: Only if I'm absolutely certain no one is around.
- CG: Sure, so long as I can get across without causing an accident.
- LN: Never. It's against the law.
- N: Sometimes, if I feel like it.
- CN: Anytime I'm in a hurry.
- LE: If I ever did (and I'm not saying I have), my attorneys would make sure the charge never stuck.
- NE: Maybe, but someone else will take the blame for it.
- CE: I prefer pushing people into traffic.

Pretty sure now that Call to Arms was the existing game it was thinking of.
