uchikoshi pretty literally said this too in that inteview recently and idk yall. if you view your coworkers as obstacles instead of collaborators maybe you're just a bad leader

I appreciate the bar is quite low but this excerpt from an interview with Molyneux about AI is almost too on the nose. Nice anecdote about a colleague he used to respect and enjoy working with, followed by an explanation of how him and everyone like him is now expendable.

Had the job, Apparently some of my background stuff didn’t score as high as they wanted so they’ve rescinded the job offer I have no idea what could have been a problem and I’m pretty at a loss of what to do right now. I guess I’m back to trying to find something but NOTHING is getting back to me

this article is really good with a lot of well researched interviews and perspectives and context as to what was going on in the studio. but sometimes. sometimes there's really only one sentence that speaks louder than all the others

Umbreons, like black cats, commonly come in brown tabby variations within the more urban areas of Kanto and Johto. (Based on my cat, Barby!) #Pokemon #art

No luck yet today but! I'm so appreciative of all the shares. You guys are the real heroes doing all the work. Thank you so much!!! I am starting to feel sick, though, so I probably have another day or two before I'm in the hospital again.
