๐ฆ๐บ in ๐ฏ๐ต. ai developer experience @GoogleDeepmind. formerly partner engineering @ stadia.
- controversial opinion: unity should stop making a short film every year and instead should actually ship a game every year to demonstrate what their engine can do
- It's peak summer in Japan, so here's a PSA. You may see train cars labelled ๅผฑๅทๆฟ่ป, which is Japanese for "the AC is fucking broken"
- itโs just ridiculous at this point to talk about romance and sex in games without acknowledging the immense amount of trailblazing work that japanese developers have done, but you look at western discourse and it sounds like BioWare and like three indies pioneered it all
- Replying to @TrentKustersI'd have paid good money to have seen the crowd reaction.
- every australian knows
Indonesia has to be the least culturally relevant country relative to its size. 4th most populated in the world, biggest Muslim nation, huge archipelago, but what is it really known for? Palm oil? A tsunami in 2004? Huge country just chilling there with no bearing on the world. - I really have loved working on Stadia. It feels like I did some of my best work - certainly I worked harder than I ever have over the last eighteen months as leadership tried to navigate increasingly choppier waters. 1/?
- Affected by the Google Japan layoffs. These really aren't performance-based layoffs - I was recently promoted from L5 to L6, and got an Outstanding Impact rating in the latest cycle - but, all things considered, not a surprise.
- After a week in the US, holy fuck am I glad to be back home in Japan.
- Replying to @cheripi_Another wonderful thing: a lot of female creators and female buyers. IME in the West it always felt that this stuff was looked at as for gross male pervs only. Then you get out here and you see a normal looking Japanese woman selling stuff she drew that makes your eyes pop.
- Replying to @SteveGaynorPDX and @fullbrightIโm about to ship a VR ride with all of its sequencing in one giant Unity timeline graph. I feel you.
