Welp. I was among the folks laid off from Deck Nine Games today. I'm so very proud of the work our team did and the journey we had. And, hey, I'm looking for narrative work again. I have experience in AAA, indie, consulting, and more. I know things are tough now, but any leads are appreciated.

The biggest waste of money I’ve seen in video game development, across many years and studios (not my current one - one of the reasons I wanted to work there), wasn’t on graphics. It was abruptly being told to throw out months or years of work bc one executive decided they didn’t like something.

any friends have experience with prescription Gunnar glasses? specifically intermediate progressive lenses or distance progressives? can't find many reviews or testimonials
