This is a really great breakdown of a technical art problem that helps look at it mathematically piece by piece. If you're new to TA this is the kind talk you should definitely give a watch!

Well, I hadn't been super public about where I worked because I wanted to keep my social media presence separate from my job, but I can finally reveal... I have been working for Epic for the past year and change! Unfortunately, I was laid off today.
I have been impacted by the layoffs. After dodging 4 in my career it was bound to happen. The feelings haven't hit yet. Still processing honestly. I have a lot of thoughts and tea that I cannot say of course. If you need a 12 year QA Veteran or a junior designer, let me know I guess.
Wario64@wario64.bsky.social · 5mo agoEpic Games has laid off over 1000 employees www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/n...
If anyone is hiring for a game designer with 23 years of experience, hit me up.
Bringing this list over to Bsky for those affected by the Epic layoffs, and those hiring. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
AWESOME PEOPLE LIST (Epic Games Layoff)
docs.google.com
It's a rough work day. Epic laid off 1000 employees this morning, including some colleagues I've worked with closely. Really great folks got caught up in this wave, and pretty much any team would be lucky to have them. If you're hiring, please keep them in mind!
Do folks here have any suggestions on where I should publish a written version of my GDC talk (Soft Skills for Devs of All Disciplines)? Would something like Substack be a good fit? Or should I just keep this on a personal site? Or is there another platform that you'd recommend? Thanks all ❤️
What a great week! So glad to have had the chance to meet with devs, reconnect with friends, make new connections, talk shop, and learn new things at GDC this year!
