  • Definitely, but they (my family member) did well for themselves and their family. They moved between big name studios but have found a comfortable career not tied to any big name studio

    I haven’t kept in close contact with them but it’s pretty fun hearing about, or even playing, games they’ve worked on (every once in a while I check up on what they’ve done)

    They eventually got into the sound side of things and occasionally would do recordings when family got together. One time in particular I remember, we went on a walk and they brought recording equipment. Recorded the ambient sounds while we were on the trail. Sometimes we’d be talking and other times we were walking in silence. Recording us approaching and departing; the sounds of our footsteps on different terrain: gravel, dirt, grass, pavement. Got some closeups of a small creek that ran next to the trail. Would record the sounds of a field of wild grass, or a stand of trees. I wonder if anything they recorded ended up in some game… That would be pretty dope

    Tl;Dr What I can say is, they genuinely loved their job no matter which shitty big name they worked under. And they got to do some genuinely fun things in the pursuit of bettering their work

    Sorry for the wall of text, idk I just haven’t really had somewhere to share that. I’ve never heard someone mention infinity ward , like literally ever. Any time I’ve said the name I’ve been met with blanks stares until I say “Call of Duty”

















  • I recently had an rfid scanner immediately rma-d back that had just been returned to us. The new issue was caused by a setting and not by a defect. I asked our IT/help desk if it WAS a setting that could be changed

    “I don’t know. I get the thing, I check these settings, I check those settings, that’s all I know”

    😑😑😑

    So me and another person are out of our equipment for another couple weeks while the scanner is sent back for “repairs” and the repair people will go “😑 tap tap tap idiots”

    (Edit: I know it’s a setting because I talked with the other person who uses it and I explained the issue and he let me know it is something he changes)
