is it weird that I want to play Big Walk more now because the dev’s letter is typeset very nicely in Cooper?

Finally did a few quick things on my portfolio: 1. added my Murphy Door project & more images in my Hidden Grove project, 2. updated project thumbs so that they’re colorful, 3. added a dedicated contact button & contact form modal popup. More to come! dmacisaac.com
I was impacted by the Bungie layoffs today and will greatly miss my team and working on games. I’m looking for a new role as a brand designer.

Big life update: I’m a Dad now. After my contract with Google wrapped up at the end of last year, my wife and I went to Korea to have our baby, and I’m happy to say all is well. Things have been really cool and parenting is not as difficult as the Internet made me fear.
Stumbled upon this study on the evolution of Strategy Game UI over the years by Treeform. Cool to see the reduction in screen real-estate medium.com/@treeform/st...
Strategy Game Battle UI
I was doing research on trends in the Strategy Game UI styles. And you can see a clear pattern that starts with simple left or right bar…

We are modernizing the user interface Pray we do not modernize it further
Death Stranding 2 is consuming me, I love it. More than the thought of getting a walking pad for under a standing desk while I work, the thought of using a walking pad while playing DS2 is now probably going to put me over the edge to buying one today lol

Today the discord found out that the bluesky logo SVG has — probably erroneously — what they’re calling a benis
Beat another Night Lord last evening, can finally access new fashion options. The real Dark Souls begins here
Just beat the big doggie(s) in Night Reign for the first time (for me) with @fartdirector.bsky.social & @notexactly.bsky.social — played as Ironeye which apparently turns Elden Ring into a third-person action shooter _and I loved it_
Maybe you’ve heard: every font is free! Since fonts aren’t subject to copyright, you can legally ‘pirate’ them if you use a specific loophole! ...except that’s not really true. I’ve seen this claim repeated quite a lot recently, and it’s missing some pretty important nuance. 🧵 A thread:

I guess this leak of Figma Sites was real after all, neat
This screenshot excerpt of Figma shows a supposedly leaked new ability to create a “Website” I first saw it on LinkedIn but it could have originated on twitter. It feels real, even if things like this are easily faked. Really interesting to me, as someone who worked on a website builder for years…
Hello, happy Friday. I wanted to publicly note that I’ll be moving internationally from Orlando, Florida to South Korea sometime at the end of June or early July with my partner. This is a major move for us and I’m super excited. We’ve lived for months at a time there, but this time, it’s one-way ✈️
I hadn’t cleaned up my files for at least a year, so, it’s sort of like as close as I can get to a spiritual cleanse, a ritual, to wipe away the afterimage or scarred battlefield of old projects — which can accumulate so many files chaotically during their time — and stand ready for something new
Folks, I’m happy to report that we are down to only 43 unsorted files in the Download folder, and the number is dropping steadily

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

By using FontForge on a PDF from the website for the campaign (web.archive.org/web/20051223...); I can confirm that they are indeed using the illegal clone version of the font, rather than the licensed one!

Finally did some weightlifting after a 16-day break. Depression & anxiety wombo combo’d me. What helped for me was doing a writing exercise last night. Feel like it broke some ice in my brain; re-engaging the neurological pathways towards feeling sadness and anger I was probably suppressing, helps
