s/Hollywood/the games industry
A bad thing that often happens in Hollywood is that a director, showrunner, or entire company will have a chaotic, dysfunctional production that somehow results in a good finished product...& then draw the conclusion that the dysfunction was somehow responsible for the goodness.

I was just telling a friend last week I'm so glad I got out of game dev before social media got massive.

Finished Life is Strange. Ambitious concept and more of an interactive story than a game. Great voice acting from @ashly_burch. As someone who agonizes over making the optimal choice in games, though, it was at times painful to play. Chloe + Max 4ever.

Me, ruining the family chat since 2010.
Janelle James on the #AbbottElementary group chat after the #EmmyNoms: "Well, I try not to talk too much because I have an Android and they yell at me. But today I was allowed to speak in the group chat."

New variant is bad, but this is exactly why alarmist threads are unhelpful at best, dangerous at worst. COVID isn't going to mean much if you die of breast cancer first.

It's still my dream that someday I'll end up working on VFX for movies.
Anything is possible.
Light & Magic, a six-part series about @ILMVFX, starts streaming July 27 on @DisneyPlus.

I'm going to take a break from Twitter because it's making me dumb and angry and usually I am only one of those things.

So I guess the hierarchy of life for the 'pro life' party is:
White men
White babies
White women
Black/brown/etc babies
Black/brown/etc men
Black/brown/etc women
Trans kids
That about right?

Finished Kena: Bridge of Spirits. I'd started it a couple months back but paused to play HFW. Gameplay felt a little rough but visuals and music were beautiful. Combat was really hard - reminded me of old school NES games - so played in Story mode.
In software there's a lot of handwringing about being a generalist and how it's career limiting, so it's pretty cool to see a company like ILM talk about the benefits of being a generalist. Despite being in Android for a long time, I still consider myself a software generalist.
At @ILMVFX, Generalists possess a high degree of proficiency across multiple disciplines. Take a look into what makes the team unique, then head to ILM.com/Careers to apply today.

But how will I know I'm smart unless I gatekeep my job
I wish more tech companies would adopt a process that is closer to what developers do day-to-day instead of the traditional whiteboard interviews.
I think it’s possible to find out if a candidate has skills without putting them through a mentally and emotionally taxing process.

This is heartbreaking. I know in the Bay Area this will be less common, but I also know I can't shield my kids from it all.

Got my second ever Platinum! I had to drop the difficulty to Story to get the Arena trophy because massive machine plus fixed loadout plus timed challenge equals a huge fuck you. The game suddenly went from fun and challenging to incredibly cheap.

Beat Horizon Forbidden West last night (ahem technically this morning). 75 hours and still a handful of side quests left and unexplored areas. This game is BIG and it still felt like they cut a ton of content. Hoping for some DLC in the future.
