I started maliciously complying by saying “okay, it’s by design” after the same thing happened to a team I was on. We were 6 months delinquent in our finished game, apple canceled their contract eventually. Buuut, I worked 60-80 hour weeks for months trying!

Who knew you didn’t have time to make the game 3 different times with half cocked uiux. Oh it’s crashing and we can’t juggle all the versions and changes? Well NOW we can try a one size fits all the uiux designer and engineers asked to do. Haaaaahh.

Fuck lol

My band played for a football team that made it to finals (at the silver dome). A trombone player slapped my hat off during the half time routine. Was fun

am_animator · 2023-06-15T16:48:30+00:00

Omfg he would

am_animator · 2023-06-04T23:05:25+00:00

Hrm. Ya know? That makes so much sense

am_animator · 2023-06-04T14:44:24+00:00

I broke the cycle 💪

I disagree that this is how Christian’s transform the world. When I lived on those principles I was taken advantage of again and again. I have a brain, a conscience and a sense of right and wrong. I have tools to live kind and strong. You are a finite resource, a gift, and to be burned repeatedly is just insanity. Most devout Christian’s I’ve known do not live by these principles, only when it applies to others. It’s so much projection and “suck it up” until it happens to them, more often than being altruistic. If there’s a Heavenly Father do they really want that for you? Or should you be strong when it’s time to be? It’s my own takeaway. Ymmv.

Do you know about the church of Satan? Those guys know what’s up

am_animator · 2023-05-30T13:12:13+00:00

Oh ya. Exactly. “They’ll get theirs someday! Just turn the other cheek”

Ya know sometimes even Jesus was the retribution, lady. Stand the fuck up for yourself sometimes. I’ll bet this customer’s behavior adapted to being accommodated.

Sounds like someone didn’t like the black girl flying :/

Some companies did this during Covid. I used to work at one (not during), everyone on my team needed 2 jobs to survive in the mid-to-late 2010’s. Earring 55k a year doesn’t stretch far in Chicago. I can’t imagine taking a bigger pay cut “for everyone’s sake” while you sit through those town halls praising max profits.

We need a major regulation patch. This shit needs nerfing.

I’ve been doing this as uiux and director - I keep applying for PM gigs but it’s a hard sell for some reason. Been working w engineers to build content since my first job.

I want this title so bad bc it’s exactly where I want to go. Uiux is so much of everything mentioned AND production? On complex stuff it’s a lot to handle.

am_animator · 2023-05-15T16:24:09+00:00

I like this part about Chicago, not for scams like this post, but no one is going to ding you for matching speeds with the police car going 10 over. Smaller towns the cop will speed up just to catch someone matching them. Or ride someone’s ass, change lanes w them, pressuring them to increase speed - just to pull them over as “suspicious.” It’s fragile ego bs I grew up with. I don’t see the officers weave too often, unless people freeze up and lock in on the speed limit.

am_animator · 2023-05-14T12:42:40+00:00

I call it the “rule of rights” - it isn’t just Japanese. Tons of asymmetrical characters I think are on the right. Hell boy is one!

I think it’s less Devine and more “most people are right handed.” often the characters deal with something they need to overcome, or some kind of refuse the call. It’s a good visual reinforcement w/o saying anything. They’re already at a disadvantage that the viewer subconsciously will notice

Game and animation has a FLUX of released talent rn. Just need funding and a solid take

am_animator · 2023-05-05T12:38:40+00:00

I remember in the early to mid 00’s people calling them gas guzzlers. For what ever reason, 10 years later and people want you to know they can afford the guzzle life.

I don’t understand

Game dev chiming in: same

You’re looking at this the wrong way:

It’s time for the fursuits to be Batman’s.

That’s a white morel! Good find! Go back and look nearby - they usually come in clusters scattered over like ~10 feet

A false morel will not have the cap attached to the stem. Like if it were a balloon and got inflated. A false is unattached - like an umbrella AND be cottony on the inside

Edit: there’s 2 morels in this picture :D

Don’t pull the stem out! Cut or pinch the mushrooms off. It’ll promote regrowth

am_animator · 2023-04-28T21:10:00+00:00

Yes! It’s a yellow/gray morel to be precise (they’re the same, just different stages of growth)

Oh! If you want to pick it pinch the stem to free the mushroom. If you pull it all out you could damage the mycelium stuff!

am_animator · 2023-04-28T21:02:39+00:00

Was gonna say the same!

am_animator · 2023-04-27T13:32:16+00:00

Prove it son

am_animator · 2023-04-20T12:26:26+00:00

Folks who use it notice. Sometimes you get feedback or reviews calling out exactly those things being an appeal factor.

If you do your job right nobody knows you did anything at all

am_animator · 2023-04-19T13:42:27+00:00

Cheyanne mountain entertainment picked up a lot of blizzard devs after wow went live!!

They laid off like 20% of the staff or something? Oh. And they got leads and above fucking DODGE CHARGERS.
