I sincerely thought Bungie was going to be my forever home in this industry. Alas, I'm back on the job market. I'm immensely proud of the work I got to do on Destiny, and the people I got to build an experience of a lifetime with.

I got impacted by today's layoffs, as is essentially the entire Destiny VFX team, leads and all. It was a good half decade, Bungie. If y'all know a project that needs a VFX artist I can make you some pretty sparkles :) www.artstation.com/artagah

22 years. I joined a few months before Halo 2 shipped. Onto whatever comes next.

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

Today I get to be a part of my first new game. To say I’m proud of myself and my peers would be an understatement. As a lifetime fan, working at Bungie has been a dream come true. From Witch Queen to Marathon, it’s been an absolute privilege. See you on Tau Ceti, Runners.

There has not been a single flight journey I have been on in the past 3 years that has gone smoothly and I need to fight a universal entity about it

Neytiri, the woman that you are

It wasn’t perfect, but damn, I had an absolute blast with Dispatch.

Yo Godot kind of kicks ass?

I just has the worst most accidental yet avoidable teamkill in Rainbow Six Siege ever and I’m going to lose sleep over this

Having a daughter is sick as hell actually

Trans rights are human rights.

"Only 3 devs" Hmmm "With help from contractors" So more than 3 devs then

I love being the father of my daughter so much

Okay so Pantheon of the Knight progress is good! Can reliably get to the fifth boss (white defender) with decent health. Gonna practice that one!

111%!!!

110/112% If this mfing Pantheon don’t fall man

PATH OF PAIN DONE. PATH OF PAIN DONE. I CAN LIVE AGAIN. RAHHHHHH!!!!!

Legitimately so excited! Congratulations #DestinyRising team!

PATH OF PAIN RAHHHHH

The Nightmare King Grimm boss fight in Hollow Knight might be my favorite boss fight of all time.

K-Pop Demon Hunters ate actually

Finally got around to Hollow Knight!!! I “beat it” with 70% completion! I’ve been adamant about not looking stuff up, but it’s super neat!! I think the first few hours felt super slow, and the last upgrade came *really late* but it was sick! I really enjoy the boss fights.

FINALLY FINALLY getting around to It Takes Two. Loving it!!!

OH MY GOD. BATTLEFIELD 6 FUCKING RIPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSS.

I can’t wait for Alien: Earth actually

Neightreign is fucking sick. It might also be the hardest damn game I’ve ever played 😂

Dude Black Mesa was my favorite of the Half-Life series. That SLAPPED.
