My Insanity

[thatwheelchairguy]

Been really getting back into Final Fantasy XIV recently getting ready for the next new expansion and did a clear run of Praetorium with some of my friends online this evening

[arvalis]

Been working on some new friends. I’m really proud of these.

Worked on this girl for 9 months. Now this new music video comes out and she’s immensely popular, arguably one of the most popular characters in the LoL universe.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m really glad she’s a huge hit, it’s super exciting to see so many people love the character design and the gameplay, and know that I contributed directly and significantly to the behind-the-scenes engineering that makes it all work. It’s validating.

But it’s also so fucking melancholy to know I did so much work and put in so much time for such a shitty company, run by shitty people, and the reward I got for it was unemployment. 

I threw a lot into this character. I cried at work. I started getting panic attacks, which I’ve never gotten before. I developed persistent heart palpitations from the daily overwhelming stress and had to go to the hospital (this is true, seriously.) I basically dropped all my friends outside of work. My manager (and his manager!) lied to me constantly to keep me working. They said I was doing a great job but to keep it up. Don’t worry, it’s going to turn out great, and it’ll all be worth it in the end – recognition, a raise, probably a promotion in short order. They promised me the world. When she was finally finished, I didn’t even get to go to the release party, they just walked me out. 

I remember a quote from my last day, it sticks out in my mind: “I know you realize this is really hard for me,” my manager said. Yes, in the end, when he awkwardly informed me I didn’t have my dream job anymore – or any job at all – and then stared back at my shell-shocked face, my thousand-yard stare, the only thing he felt was sorry for himself.

She launched with no major bugs and was considered a technical success. Doesn’t matter. Get the fuck out.

I don’t know how I feel. A weird sensation of pride and intense bitterness. I did a good job; at least, I think I did. Unfortunately, internal validation is the only kind I’m going to get.

Everyone reposting KDA should see this. Riot has successfully distracted everyone into forgetting their culture of sexism, exploitation, and toxicity mere months after it was all revealed.

Look, I get it. Akali is EXTREMELY my type. It’s obvious how much love and care was put into her development. But it makes me furious to see all the free advertising that Riot is getting from people who I thought would know better.  And now? One of the people who is arguably responsible for all that free advertising? Who’s work is undoubtedly making Riot hundreds of thousands of dollars a day? Who was overworked to the point of near breaking? They get nothing. WORSE than the scant bit of credit that most devs can get in a big company like Riot. They got let go.

Fuck Riot Games.

One thing that I thought really sucked a lot is that the production company who made the KDA video isn’t even credited. They credit a lot of other people on their videos, usually, but the actual animators of the video are hidden; almost a lie by omission. At best it’s a honest mistake, at worst it’s sneakily trying to pass off the video as something made in-house when it’s not. :(

“When I came from a place of crippling self doubt, I moved forward from that doubt to a place where I can be proud of the things that I have done. And if I leave ANYTHING behind in this world, it is the idea that that can come from anywhere.”

Could I request some cute, fluffy dating hcs for the Galar ladies with a female s/o? Only the ones your comfy with ofc!

Of course! Since it’s safe for work I’ll include Marnie as well. I hope you enjoy

Nessa-

Nessa rarely get’s quiet time so any chance she get she will take you out on the water to swim

Loves to braid and play with her significant other’s hair and have her hair played with in turn

She likes to treat her girl and will get all dressed up for a night on the town

When the relationship is serious enough she will make matching anklets for the two of you

Bea-

On occasion she will pick up a cake to share with you to cuddle and snack on together 

While not affectionate in public Bea won’t keep her hands off of you at home, she is always holding your hand or leaning on you in some way

She loves to take her girl out camping to show her the stars and beautiful landscape by Stow-on-side

If you wear matching headbands or if you come cheer her on at a match she will be a gooey and flustered mess 

Melony-

Snuggles by the fire are a must for her 

Her favorite dates though are just walking around Circhester and holding your hand

If you are cold she will definitely give you her scarf 

Seeing you get along with her youngest children makes her soft every time

Marnie-

She learned well from her brother and if your her girl you defiantly wear her jacket when you two are out on dates (if you want it that is) 

At some point, she will get you matching necklaces

A lot of dates end up being to Pier’s concerts where she dances with you and nuzzles into you 

Her Rotom phone lock screen is a picture of you and Morpeko playing together 

Sonia-

Always giggles when you steal her glasses from her head 

If you fall asleep at her lab while she is working she will place a blanket on you 

Loves it when you help putting her hair up and helping you with your hair in turn

You let her bounce ideas off of you for her latest research and she will love you forever.
