Happy anniversary #Fallout4 🥳 From the stupidest Nora ever, who tried to drink the water 5 minutes out of the vault BECAUSE WHY NOT?! 👍

A little late to that party but the Battle for Brooklyn is over and we won! (...I think) Yeah that's probably ridiculous to y'all but I don't have much of that stuff called "free time" these days.

EZgif now has the option to process content locally, without uploading it to a server. Which means there's literally no excuse left for GIFs to last more than five seconds in any marketing email. No excuse left to fail WCAG SC 2.2.2 (🇫🇷 RGAA 13.8). That's my hill, I'll die on it, thanks. #a11y

FO4 FEVer dreams round two. Wow. 1. I'm definitely in for more weird dreams. 2. Whoever wrote this, rewrite the entire scenario of FO4 and fix all the loose ends, please and thank you. 🥹

Might finally catch up on the Brooklyn DLC this weekend. Might. Already had a solid Summit night with a fellow Baguette the other day and it felt pretty cool to, you know, vidyagame with friends.

Also, I played the FEVer dreams DLC for Fallout 4 yesterday night while Hubby was working late on a maintenance, and then proceeded to have the WEIRDEST dream of being trapped in a creepy Bostonian hospital as Nora. Okay brain. 🤷‍♀️

Ella Fitzgerald and working from home on a job I really enjoy. In these trying times, I'll take the simple pleasures.

American friends, I hope you have a safe and fraudless election day tomorrow.

The way Ao3 is handling their down time truly is a masterclass that should teach companies how to communicate with customers. Yes, what they do is basic. No, most companies nowadays don't even know the basics. Weird times. 🤷‍♀️

I have way too much time on my hands (no), so why not pick a 360 pages book on game UX? As a Very Late Bloomer, I don't think I can make it in game UX. But there's much to learn from the way different industries use UX design in their workflows, especially one with so many dimensions as gaming.

I'm 2 projects and one portfolio away from finishing school, I'm being sent by my current job to teach web accessibility at my previous job in 2027, and I finally have some energy for gaming again. Still lack the time, but we're getting there. The tunnel has an end. 🥹

I recently learned that there's an official register for tartans. And, anyone can register theirs by following the proper process. You mean I could literally have my very own, unique purple and blue tartan?! 🥹

I'm completely out of the loop due to work/life balance becoming work/school balance for the past 2 years, but... Where's the Division movie at??

Trying to process the incredible levels of hate currently on display in my country. Finding peace in fixing a very old ILGWU(US garment union) coat and gaming like I haven't gamed in months, if not years. Lucky that I'm still allowed peace at all. Fuck, and I can't stress this enough, this timeline.

Tomorrow is PGW. I'm not going. Deeply depressed, but after being harassed by an idiot last year, I'm really don't feel like going without a group. So. Depressed it is. I'll work on my school Figma prototype, or whatever.

"Yeah, happy being-turned-into-a-Popsicle-for 200-years-day to those who celebrate." – Nora, probably #Fallout #FalloutDay

Procrastination update: finished my wireframe anyway. Yay.

Ah. It's Procrastinating While Staring At Figma-Day again. And then I'll have to work all night because, "OMG I JUST SOLVED UX!!!" at 18:00. WTF, brain?

Mais à part ça les femmes sont une grande cause pour notre gouvernement... Seulement quand elles servent de machines à bébés, comme d'hab. 🤷‍♀️ (Merci pour les alts, OP. C'est important que tout le monde ait accès à ces informations, y compris celles et ceux qui ont besoin d'une techno d'assistance.)

Bloquée au lit, j'ai le temps de me hyper pour des questions existentielles genre " mais c'est quoi des lacrymos?" C'est une saloperie, surtout pour les femmes et les personnes sous hormones. Un thread au fur et à mesure. Je suis énervée... Diffusez à vos gamines, aux femmes de votre vie. 1/x

Ever fucking green

I have so many fond memories around BioWare games... Today is a sad day.

Date night with Hubby on #TheDivision. I hadn't been able to play in a looooong time. Score wasn't great, hand is sore from not plugging the eye tracker, but it felt good to forget about the world for a minute.

Re: current events in Paris - The police hurt more people than the rioters. Both are utterly stupid and I despise both. But let that sink in. These people legally own weapons, and attacked peaceful protesters. Images are all around social media. What the actual fuck?

What the heck, let’s add just a bit of animation to it… #Halloween

I think I'm going to treat myself with a game of Survival to celebrate... Haven't gamed much lately.

✅ Project 9 exam: passed. 3 more to go, one of which is just presenting a portfolio. I can't wait to be forever done with school!!! (...Until the next thing I want to learn about comes up, anyway.)

OUT NOW - “Bunny, and The Banshee’s Wail”. The next step in the True Vault Escapades journey just so happens to be one of our spookiest! Attempting to cross Lake Tahoe for a new life, our detective comes face-to-face with a vengeful water spirit…#fallout #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/7flG...

Still Alive from Portal, but make it swing. I love this, and I'm so disappointed in myself that I didn't find about it before today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=22vb...

Missed Fallout day. Now getting ready to miss Paris Games Week (nobody to go with, got harassed last year). Mental health: not great on that side. I'm good at compartmentalizing though, so I guess I'll, idk, pick a new language to learn or something, to keep the mind from thinking too much.

"You'll be left behind if you don't learn to use AI" 1. Learn to write coherent sentences organizing ideas? Yeah I know how to do that, I went to school lol. 2. Left behind? Have you seen how I dress? AI was not even Sci-fi when my dresses were made. I'm not left behind, I'm staying there willfully!
