Definitely can relate to the games industry degree part, I also got a CS / technical game dev degree and definitely felt iffy about the industry due to how volatile it was 4-5 years ago, let alone the last few years. Maybe something to do in spare time, and like you said Haley aspire to be a creator of games rather than specifically an employee of a larger game corporation, thanks for the bonus pod as always!

I also Aphantasia. I was able to see things a little more after doing psychedelics. Because that forced me to see things.

I agree that the Herald of Darkness performance was better than I’m Just Ken. And I loved the Barbie movie! The Herald of Darkness had more energy and there’s just something about seeing Sam Lake dancing in a performance for his own game that brings a smile to my face. I did really like the part in I’m Just Ken when the cameraman held Ryan Gosling’s hand.

Dune: Part Two did not have a budget of $20,000,000 - my guy may be mixing it up with The Creator or Godzilla Minus One, which both put the likes of The Flash to shame in the SFX/VFX department, as far as bang-for-buck goes.
