Cantankerous tech animator for games. Currently at Motive, previously at Bioware, formerly at Blizzard, formerly-formerly at Turbine Games. She/her. My opinions do not represent those of my employer. 🇨🇦
Not at GDC but #WhatAGameDevLooksLike I've been a technical animator for almost 25 years. I've worked at Turbine Games, Blizzard, BioWare and now Motive. I've done everything from rigging to coding to bloody dismemberment effects. Also, hair. My new glasses are cute!
Another incredibly beautiful flower today. This one is a little different but still lovely!
I've also picked all these berries today. That's right, I'm a tradwife.
I finally started Metaphor Re Fantazio because it was too hot out not to stay in the basement all afternoon.
Uh. No. The way to talk about it is to say HELL NO. List the many reasons why. Have people call in to explain why Canada is a sovereign country and why that's good, actually.
They're supposed to break it down further, but I doubt the data gathered was all that thorough or precise.
There must be some big outliers in the US software engineer field..? Here's the data for even more senior SEs in Canada. Not that they probably have complete data if it's self reported.
They're clearly looking at US-based programmers for their estimates. We artists/animators are not in the same luxurious boat :/
The last product I will knowingly buy from the US if I can help it is this t-shirt. I think it's a good choice.
My hardy orchids are also coming out of the ground! But a cat tried to eat them immediately. Oh dang, one of them has a bunch of buds!! Dude, it's only just February.
Doggo update: she was doing great but realized she hadn't cost me hundreds of dollars in the past few weeks so had some digestive upset and misery. Now that more money has been donated to the emergency vet, she is happy, yet obviously starving.
Salted Mushroom Porter and Cheetos & Chill IPA. The iPA has no Cheetos notes beyond the rim, but both are good.
Here's a Thai Spice beer. Very basil-forward with some candied ginger dropped in.
Here we have a shrimp cocktail sour. I am not getting shrimp cocktail from it, but others are, and they... aren't fans.
Spicy dill pickle Caesar pilsner - oddly drinkable, and the pickle itself was really good!
Wow, I've been added to a list of people who aren't big on shoving "AI" into everything because I'm "not informed". Obviously, if you're Informed, you must be fine with having every app and program trying to get you to useb predictive algorithms instead of your own art or writing or research.
