Hey layoffs. Fuck off.

Crossed 70k words today. I also melted 🫠 thanks heatwave.

Land registry have had my deed from a remortgage in processing for 18 months and it's now delaying my house sale. Asked the solicitor firm who handled the remortgage to request expedited processing about three weeks ago but both they and Land Registry are uncommunicative. Anyone else had this?

How your email finds me

I'm curious, if you're a jobseeker in games what's made you want to apply (or not apply) to a job advert recently? Some thoughts of my own include (but aren't limited to) location not being a fit, length of time advertised, no salary listed or a lack of clarity if it's even real.
