Give yourself some dang grace, ya goobers!

This post has a ton of useful tips and tools to create and prototype. So many cool creators and games you maybe haven’t heard of yet! www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...

Do poke bowls have Pokémon in them? Can they?

Love a good sun dog.

When I saw my 72-year-old mom today, she was excited to tell me about a movie she watched last night. “It was pretty good. Maybe you’ve seen it. It’s called Pearl!” Now I just got this text.

I guess now you know what this was about 💔💔💔💔

You all know what an amazing writer Trick is. But what you may not know is what an amazing colleague and mentor they are. So many BioWare developers are better for having worked with them and if you’re smart you’ll try to work with them too.

Karin was the best boss I’ve ever had. She’s a fantastic editor who will make your writing sing.

Ryan is a fantastic editor and a consummate professional. He can handle everything from lore documentation to the recording-VO pipeline in addition to making your scenes stronger and your voices more consistent.

Ryan is an incredible editor and writer, has an amazing work ethic, and is just a really good person. Working with him has made me a better editor, and any team would be improved - and more fun! - by his presence.

I’ve tried for ten minutes to collect all my thoughts about Karin into something short and punchy but still worthy of her incredible impact on video games (and me personally). It’s impossible. She’s an icon and a legend and I’m literally grieving that she’s not at BioWare anymore.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

HIRE. RYAN.

Eternal Strands is live on Steam right now. About a week shy of 5 years of the company existing. What a journey. store.steampowered.com/app/1491410/...

I have no words except that BioWare and especially the phenoms I worked with there are forever lodged in my heart and I’m anxiously wringing my hands right now.... www.ign.com/articles/mas...

The ears on this guy

Unfortunately, I found out today that my role is likely to be at risk of redundancy, so if anyone knows of anywhere hiring for a gameplay programmer in the UK, please send them my way! Link: www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ubi...

Has anyone seen my ear buds?

How do I explain to my therapist that l stayed up late using a thermal sticker printer I got off Temu (I know; never again) to label my SD consoles on two A/V switchers connected to my beloved Sony Trinitron KV-36FV27, a CRTV lovingly known as "The Beast" in some collector circles?

“With literally minutes left in his presidency, Joe Biden on Monday granted clemency to Leonard Peltier, the ailing Native American rights activist whom the U.S. government put in prison nearly 50 years ago after a trial riddled with misconduct and lies.” www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...
