1990s: *enthusiastic schoolteacher voice* the computer is a place where anything can happen

After chatting with a (now former) coworker about the EA layoffs, they mentioned that the way these layoffs work is that the higher-ups just take a list of all the employees and filter out anyone who got a bad performance review recently or haven't gotten promoted in a while.
Which would absolutely track, given my last PR was *slightly* worse than before, and I haven't gotten a promotion since joining EA.
Even though I was apparently doing great this year and was maybe in line for a promotion?
Last night I played James Lambert's new N64 game, JunkRunner 64!
This could have just been a tech demo to show off his incredible achievement of the massive open world he got working on the system, but it's also a cute and clever scavenging game as well!
Super impressive work here from top to bottom!
I'm trying to push myself outside my comfort zone with some game UI mocks - for this one I tried to make a Y2K-style menu inspired by the UI design of games like Every Extend Extra and Flipnic:

I'm happy for Pokopia and Expedition 33, but the number of people calling them unprecedented revolutions in game design really show how many people in the west refuse to engage with JRPGs on principle.
Pokopia borrows most of its design from the studio's prior Dragon Quest Builders games, and Expedition 33 is basically a modern turn-based JRPG in design.
