Doing red light therapy on my butt thinking about how I'm now not allowed to do Pilates anymore

Grieving the loss of my full Pilates princess potential

I dressed up like a tradwife for Thanksgiving as I'm in my stay at home unemployed wife era.
Please enjoy this hopefully limited time event.

Today would have been my five year anniversary at Riot.

Mixed feelings, but most importantly the person who did this to me was demoted into my old job and I think that's hilarious. Schadenfreude.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

I did "Forum Duty" for five years for Bethesda where I read every social media channel looking for Player reported bugs. I would volunteer because I have thick skin.

90% of the posts online are copypasta of some guys opinion without original thought added. Many never even played the game.
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Guild Wars 2 brought my guild of trolls and exploiters in to playtest a new PVP area and we told them it was too easy to knock people off the map and they didn't listen until it launched
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

In retrospect, this was problematic. But as a child I was enamored by Nabooru.

You know, it was pretty cool of the narrative & character folks on my Dishonored 2 team to include a trans character. I actually have no idea if they consulted anyone or just sort of vibed their way into doing it pretty well.
Good work by (I guess?) cis folks.

Honestly I wish I could be mad at the people who got the job instead of me like a normal person but they're all such impressive individuals with a great work history.

I'm only mad that we're in a market where we're both applying to the same early-mid level roles.

One of my og mentees got hit with a layoff and I'm so upset about it

Volunteering to produce the friendsgiving because I am an out of work producer and I'm so fucking bored

Ever wonder if the "would you love me if I was a worm" trend was just women soft launching their status as Yerks?
