  • I didn’t see this in the comments. You said you had a good relationship with the project lead - can you just ask about it casually from the perspective of product improvement? Not make a big deal of it but just a “hey I noticed you said sex instead of gender. That’s a thing that might raise an eyebrow (or something to that effect)”.

    If you’re doing QA, there’s nothing wrong with asking a question about a choice someone made. Full disclosure: I don’t work in this industry, I don’t know anything about content vs. voiceover.

    I know it doesn’t solve your “should I do this” dilemma, just a thought on an alternative approach 😊






  • I want to bandwagon onto this comment, as I fully agree. Buy timeless and good quality clothing.

    I’m not overly trendy, but I always dress well. If you’re not interested in chasing trends, make it so you can dress well without paying attention. A few high quality t-shirts, several pairs of good (maybe even expensive) jeans and/or chinos, a couple of jackets/blazers to step it up. Some dress shirts and some accessories (belts, shoes, etc). Some of the best pieces I have are old fashions: houndstooth, solid colors, plaids of various styles, and etc.

    I would also advocate for supporting sustainable, or at least local, clothing companies as much as possible, but that’s a personal value.

    Finally, don’t chase fashion. I had a modelling coach once who gave me the most important piece of clothing advice I’ve ever received: it’s not what you’re wearing, it’s how you feel wearing it. If you feel good, you’ll stand a little taller, smile a little more easily, and bring your best self to meet the world. I was wearing a $20 Walmart blazer. Just some food for thought. Good luck and have fun with it!







  • This has been exactly my feeling for the past decade or so. I love open world, when you have a good concept and a solid story. But corridor is the best way to convey that story and keep the player engaged.

    For me, Assassin’s Creed is the ultimate brilliance to rags example: corridor gameplay that became an open world as you progressed in the early games. Which evolved into the meandering, mindless stories of the more recent games. I genuinely have no idea what Valhalla was supposed to be about lol. I finished it, but it was 120 hours I’d rather have back. A corridor style for the late 2010/20s games would have made all of them far more interesting, as they were phenomenal concepts imo.

    All this to say, I don’t mind some impactful world decisions that affect story arcs, but bring back the dang corridor and stop hiding behind massive content dumps… Damn it!
