30/He/They/She ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Vancouver Looking for work Prev Senior Tech Artist @ HarakkaStudios Prev UE Generalist @ FishFlightEntertainment Prev Realtime Mocap Tech @ BeyondCapture Worked on Unknown 9 Awakening, RE4 Remake, New Tales From The Borderlands

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.

I want more silly loading screens in games I want a black screen with a random object from the game rotating and bouncing around like the DVD logo and I mean ANY object. rigged character? absolutely. low-poly rock that's only supposed to be seen from a distance? throw that shit in there

Its difficult to put my my anger over this into words. The modern Backrooms was born from the collective effort of thousands. That collaboration, all that passion/time was freely given because it made people happy. Now its being monetized. Its exactly like Ai and the internet.

When you finally get around to deep cleaning your pc after nearly 2 years and excavate more than a cantaloupe's size of dust and install a new 2TB M.2 ssd - windows 11 is currently installing at 5am while Iet my dogs outside and I am *enriched*

I have never owned an M.2 ssd but I just ordered a 2 TB and I'm excited to see the difference, coming from a dying ADATA SU650 that peaks at 100% randomly every hours or two at 2mb/s so I'm really looking forward to that 3500mb/s lifestyle

I've been fucking shitting my ass trying to figure out why my PC has been experiencing stutters and freezes for months now. The fix? Move virtual memory off of my c drive to another drive. I could literally cry - having a functioning PC finally is a god send I hate and love technology

I haven't been able to experience actual leisure or a moment for myself in over 2 weeks and I actually want to bite down on a fist full of nails and screws if I don't get to use my computer to relax soon I will start eating metal scraps for fun
