I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Today we’re sharing that Halfbrick is making changes to our team structure, including role redundancies in Australia and the conclusion of a number of engagements internationally.
This was not a decision we made lightly. Like many studios, we are navigating a challenging period for the games industry, and we’ve had to make some hard choices about how we move forward. These changes are driven by organizational and strategic priorities, not individual performance.
The most important thing to say is this: the people affected by this decision have made meaningful contributions to Halfbrick. They have helped shape our games, supported our players, and been an important part of this studio. We are sincerely grateful for everything they have brought to the company.
To everyone impacted, thank you. Your work has mattered here, and we are better for having had the chance to work with you.
We also want to say clearly that we would strongly recommend any of these individuals to any team that is hiring. Halfbrick has always cared deeply about the people we bring in, and there is exceptional talent among those now looking for their next opportunity.
Our focus right now is on handling this transition with care, respect, and genuine appreciation for the people who have contributed so much to Halfbrick.
We wish them nothing but the best in what comes next.

Halfbrick announcing role redundancies in Australia during breakfast on a Saturday morning feels like a choice to me. My best to those impacted. If that's you and you want to chat, you can reach me securely here on dctrjr [at] proton [dot] me

Corsair is halting Drop sales after March 25th The popular enthusiast keyboard and headphone shopping site is winding down.

Damn, this sucks. I dont trust Drop moving to corsair cuz I highly doubt corsair will sell switches, keycaps, and custom keebs unless it has the corsair label on it.

The keyboard hobby is truly ending

Watching Fukushima 50 - a film about the Fukushima Nuclear disaster

The most emotional part of the film (so far) was when a journalist from a local Fukushima newspaper asked the PM, "Is there any hope for Fukushima?"

Damn...

Covering Chornobyl (the HBO series) for work today, and I'm just reminded of when the uni librarian told the new students and me during the library tour that we can borrow DVDs, but added, "Good luck getting Chernobyl," cuz it gets borrowed instantly.

I'm currently working my way up the grades. Right now, I have three more HG builds to complete (Nobelle Beserker, Aerial, and gquuuuuux), and my RG Strike Rouge is now being shipped.

Still finding a good RG for my "different types of RX-78-2." It was supposed to be the Miku collab but I missed out.
