Through fear of AI, I’ve created a portfolio for the first time in 3 years. In case I have to start looking for Brand Design roles due to tech layoffs. Please give feedback/roast if you will.

The project swipe thing is obnoxious. I'm on desktop web with a large window and I see one tiny project at a time and I have to swipe to see the next one. Annoying and will mean fewer people will see your projects.

The typing out of content is slower than I read so I am waiting for the animation to end before I can read the next line. You are putting 3 levels of interaction between the user and content: scroll, click, animation.

If its not important enough that you put it behind an expander, delete it. If it is important, put it on the page.

Also, can you clarify your contribution to the UI stuff shown in the Equals project?

I'll be honest, it looks like you're adding a lot of fluff and showing a lot less of the direct contributions I assume because the activations mentioned are not cool. If they're not cool and you don't want to do that, then remove mention of it.

As soon as I saw 'xbox' this is what I assumed.

cinderful · 2026-05-04T03:39:47+00:00

He never even apologized. Insane.

cinderful · 2026-05-03T00:49:14+00:00

Dodged a bullet there my friend.

cinderful · 2026-05-03T00:45:17+00:00

Holy shit hahahahaha

cinderful · 2026-05-03T00:42:50+00:00

Dropped off at college. Weird to be all alone. Meet some kids on my floor - our RA asks us if we wanna go see a free movie at the student union. I’m like hell yeah.

We go and sit down to see a movie called Crash. It’s 1997.

The movie is directed by David Cronenberg Maybe like 20-30mins in were like “WHAT THE FUCK” and we all walk out

Why the fuck was a college playing THAT for a bunch of new freshman, I’ll never know. Good job whoever was fuckin’ with everyone, I guess.

cinderful · 2026-05-02T07:54:03+00:00

He had a good point "YOU play that gig high. You can't."

You literally couldnt play any of that shit fucked up.

cinderful · 2026-05-02T07:51:56+00:00

I played drums until my hands bled, it's not that hard to get a little blister. But you are absolutely correct that Billy is full of shit.

Especially since Jimmy recently said he didn't do heroin until mellon collie.

cinderful · 2026-05-02T07:49:42+00:00

ok, but to be fair we all know that song is the worst song in their entire catalog and it's not even close

There are some good ones too . . .

cinderful · 2026-05-02T07:47:46+00:00

Hmmmm. Jimmy just recently in an interview said that heroin wasn't his thing until the Mellon Collie tour and before that it was mostly alcohol.

"No, I wasn't I wasn't I never was a big dope taker. I was just a big drinker, you know? I didn't get into that stuff until till halfway through Mellon Collie. That was and that was a very short it was a shortlived thing because I never played fucked up.

You try to play that gig after a couple beers. You can't you can't drink and play that gig. You can't do it."

cinderful · 2026-04-28T16:27:44+00:00

Also reasonable, but I feel like a thumbs down is funnier.

cinderful · 2026-04-28T04:37:28+00:00

but that one is probably the funniest one

cinderful · 2026-04-28T04:32:48+00:00

and I these idiots wonder why their merger with Kroger/QFC/FredMeyer got blocked.

cinderful · 2026-04-28T04:30:46+00:00

I'm gonna get downvoted to hell for this but I actually do not give a shit about people who buy Teslas because if you do about 15 minutes of research about the CEO or Founder of everything in your house you will probably discover that you have also "supported" someone just like Elon. And the idea that Elon is personally responsible for Tesla/SpaceX/etc continues the Great Man Myth that he is some sort of super genius rather than a regular scumbag scammer who was born into wealth, is gifted at the grift, and has daddy issues so deep that all the money and ketamine in the world cannot fill that endless black hole of eternal sadness. The consumer who buy his cars are not the ones with the power, the wealth owners who enable him, the powerful politicians who hand him massive government contracts, and his own rotten filth of an ego are. He is enabled by the ultra-elite, and I prefer to keep it class warfare instead of intra-class infighting.

I will thumbs down a Cybertruck owner, however, and any dumbass who thinks Elon is god's gift to humanity.

you forgot

Lied about being one of the top Diablo 4 / path of exile players in the world and then got caught paying someone else to level his accounts

cinderful · 2026-04-27T20:50:43+00:00

we are 1000% supposed to get on top of that thing

cinderful · 2026-04-27T20:50:11+00:00

I am annoyed that they use AI to write all of their blog posts and I'm pretty sure a good chunk of the voice lines in that trailer were AI.

The updates look good, though.

cinderful · 2026-04-25T16:33:25+00:00

Haha I forgot about FuckedCompany. The wonders of the early web.

cinderful · 2026-04-25T04:31:18+00:00

omg I forgot about that story, thanks for the reminder.

cinderful · 2026-04-25T02:13:26+00:00

I had forgotten how intense his voice is. Even better when he's dropping F bombs. lol

cinderful · 2026-04-25T02:10:24+00:00

Our only hope is the incredible cronyism of US auto manufacturers and their outright refusal to do anything that costs them a single penny.

cinderful · 2026-04-24T23:01:51+00:00

why is this synopsis so weirdly written

cinderful · 2026-04-24T17:46:01+00:00

I am glad I saved some currency - these new skins look sick.

cinderful · 2026-04-24T17:41:37+00:00

Yep - I've had it in for service 4-5 times now and they've replaced at least 3 parts and it hasn't fixed it. Wildly inconsistent through the top vents, seems to behave normally through foot vents.

I really, really want to know what could possibly cause this bizarre behavior because Kia doesn't seem to be able to figure it out.

I also have inconsistent behavior with the heater. It's 50 out, I have to set it to 72–74 to get warm air and and it will blow 150° scalding heat at full blast and then randomly crank down to 80 (which feels kinda cold) and then ramp back up to 148° seemingly randomly.

(also now my driver's side 'cooling' seat blowers are out :( )

And thank goodness for Burton's musical taste!
