Hey! I'm Gen 👋
I'm the Studio Art Director at DICE and a gamedev veteran of over 20 years.
I'm passionate about game development & creative leadership and like to post thoughts and advice on those topics occasionally. I'm also a house goblin, common nerd and like to write about anything really ✨

Past Gen had already built the character.
I don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed I won't get to spend well over an hour making her (I'm being conservative here).

Tonight was cheese-stuffed tteokbokki with soft boiled eggs.
It was pretty good ngl
I went ahead and used Jarlsberg (sortof like a nuttier/fruitier emmental) instead of mozzarella. Very tasty.

I think a cat lives in the apartment above me.
Part of me smiles whenever I hear a little ( ((poh-pomp!)) ) reverberating through the walls.

I put my phone in focus mode so I wouldn’t see work stuff pop in all the time while I’m on PTO. But let’s be real: the feed is still there.
I am both triggered and amused at the contents. This is very bad. Maybe I should take another week.

What I will say is that I've been making games for a lot of years, led teams and projects for a long time, and have also worked as an IC, and there isn't a discipline on a team that doesn't feel their game would be a lot better if leadership would only listen to them more than they do.

Ah yes *checks watch* looks like it’s time to vilify physical copies - with a new angle.
A new study has found that buying physical copies of games is "100 times more carbon-intensive" than buying the digital version

Data from French carbon accounting firm Greenly also finds handheld gaming may be the greenest option for players

I hate my kitchen. There’s like two feet of available counter space and 1/3 of the storage of the previous apartment which is, given my interest in food experimentations, quite disastrous.
The wine fridge confounded me.

The new internet doesn’t work. Followed instructions but signal doesn’t reach my wall connections somehow.
See… this would suck IF I didn’t have cell data and my boxed set of TNG.
