Ah, the Goodsprings Fallout celebration is appearing in my TL again... Hah... Let me laugh in unwelcome European again. 🙃

Hi, I'm a UX Designer in the making, and I want you to know that poorly presented Excel sheets *will* make you procrastinate. Hi, I'm procrastinating on my school project.

Watoga City Radio Season 2 is now on YouTube in a full radio playlist. Perfect for console players, skeptics, or folks who just like a little apocalypse during their commute. tune in, static’s free. - W.E.N.D.Y. Here's a link(best to press the shuffle button, unless you want 20 ads in a row😜)

I don't have the energy for anything else, so here, have an update on my #Fallout76 CAMP. Building these is a truly relaxing experience, especially with the recent UX/UI update. (...told you, I can't stop talking about UX.)

Entering the second year of my 3 years career change plan. It's awesome professionally, but I'm so fudging exhausted I can't even keep track of anything in my personal life... Completely overwhelmed, completely isolated. The only communications I have anymore are work or studies related.

Proudly wearing my grandma's necklace because I miss her and I'm sure she would have fed my obsession with the fifties even more. 🥰

I was brave and sent a few photos for the Fallout Day celebration, including one I had just edited with my Gunner fellas from Paris Games Week 2024. Yay! (Now I'm all out of bravery for the rest of the year, and kind of terrified that they might actually be shared... 😅)

This hits differently than it did back in 2015.

My FO4 combat armor is almost finished printing... 2 filament spools emptied, but the real fun is about to begin!! Next week I'm also getting an authentic full-skirted dress from the 1950s to restore. I know nobody cares but I'm so excited to be doing something that isn't UX/school related!! 😁

Someone was celebrating something in Skyline Valley this evening *insert confused Mab face here*. #Fallout76

So apparently my UX diploma will also be recognized in the US. Which would be great if we weren't persona non grata there for not liking the current head honcho of head honchoness, lol. PS: US friends, you can hate on Macron all you want, nobody gives a sh*t here. 🤣

Google search is so polluted with BS "AI" it's becoming increasingly difficult to find what you want quickly. The frustration is extremely real right now.

Ooh this is gonna be fun... All the sanding in my tiny 35 sq meters apartment... 🙃😬 (Slowly completing my #Fallout4 costume.)

Mood

When you post screenshots from Twitter here, it's like you're posting a back image for anyone using assistive technology (screen readers, braille devices...). Post your screenshots. And then, fill your alt texts. Ctrl+c on Twitter/Ctrl+v on Bluesky isn't too much to ask. 👍

Super disappointed with the Creality Hi (VFA all over the place and even though it's getting better with the latest software updates, hubby spent 3 months trying to get a good print to no avail.) So, our good old customized Ender 3 S1 is doing the job! 💪

I was in an artsy mood this evening... #Fallout76 filters are also fun. Some work with everything, some only ever work *once*, and some only work once your blood is more Nukashine than actual blood. 😆

YES, OMG yes. People in stores must think I'm insane.

Today's workout session included 2 episodes of True Vault Escapade. I loved every bit of it. Need to see if they are on YouTube to get subtitles though, the altered sound is not great for impaired ears. 🥺 But it's great to discover all the nice things people created (even though I'm 10 years late).

Cette année, mes Citrouilles seront vendues au profit de la Fondation Sercan Commandez la ou les vôtres dès aujourd'hui! Prix: 20$ chacune :) Merci Merci de partager !

Successfully passed my first exam 🥳 10 left to go...

We made it, we met again! 😂 I love showing you around my camp (I’ve spent so much time on it, it honestly feels like the thing I’m most proud of lately 😂). Thanks for putting up with the tour Mab 🥰

I could swear I saw a wild @heruhoss.bsky.social buy something at my CAMP, yet when I got back there, there was a different player at the vendor... What kind of sorcery is this? Don't say lack of sleep...

I just learned that y'all English speakers use "RSVP" for invites. Why is this a surprise to me? It's French: Répondez S'il Vous Plaît (please answer). I really wasn't expecting it while doom scrolling Reddit.

So exhausted by work that all I could do was snap things together in my camp (oh, the glorious feeling!) and gather plants... All this while I marveled at the QOL improvements like a good junior UX designer taking notes. I need holidays. 🤣 #Fallout76

So excited for the #Fallout76 CAMP menu revamp!! I'm almost home from work and it's all I'll care about this evening. Side UX comment: that card sorting must have been hell. 🤣

The amount of excellent Fallout fanmade audio content I get to enjoy during workout is so unreal... it makes me want to go to the gym more often.

I was told I need to be on LinkedIn so here we go... (No, I'm not happy about it at all.) But what the everliving hell is that UI??? Is this 2005?? 😳

French minister of education making up mandatory ChatGPT classes... Girl, you do realize all you need for "prompting" is a good command of your own language? In this case, French. For which there are, wait for it, French classes? Also, thanks for not giving a F about our climate situation, I guess.

I was involved in designing a fully accessible mini-site and tried to think the user journey through for someone using a screen reader. I missed something extremely important, but noticed it immediately upon VoiceOver/NVDA testing. Test your work with screen readers y'all 🤘 #a11y #ButMakeItJunior

Giving them a toaster is probably akin to offering roses on a date, in some BoS chapters... 🤭 Alas, it seems these people weren't into lovely W.E.N.D.Y. 💔 (I'm gonna get fired... I'm so getting fired... Can they fire me?)

Honestly very excited for this, especially since release won't happen until I'm done with the harder projects at school 🤣 But also because it means I can stop yelling at clouds for more Survival. Great that community will be involved in building it. Hopefully players w/ a11y needs too. #TheDivision

It's 10 p.m., I wish I could catch up with Division news, play some Fallout... You know, relax and stuff. But I'm stuck with Figma trying to finish a school project. Ugh... I'm too old for this sh*t. 😅

Ok back to sleep - work - sleep - work. Enjoy Gamescom y'all.

Ooooh yes please yes please yes please 🥹🙏

BUT, I'm suuuuper excited for Fallout season 2 😁 one can only be when you see how much attention to details was put in producing it. I mean, Novac!!

The Legion being in that trailer...😬😬😬 Don't be weird about it, NV fans... Please, don't be weird about it!

Versailles by night

Being a late bloomer in UX means having to catch up on a wealth of design culture and principles that UX and UI colleagues have been navigating for decades... Since I occasionally act as a Japanese culture advisor at work, I picked this book as my next read. These manner ads bring back memories...

Episode 3 has been available on Spotify and other podcast services for a few hours now but is also now available for listening on YouTube!

So upset to not be able to afford Gamescom when I know The Division team + my friends will be there... But anyway, my FO4 costume needs work and the struggle has been absolutely real with the new 3D printer, so no progress on that front... (🤬 VFA!)

Large Language models (LLMs) do not simulate human psychology. That's the title of our new paper, available as preprint today (1/12): arxiv.org/abs/2508.06950

Also, I was told I have a soothing ASMR kind of voice after an a11y presentation at work and now they'll want me to explain the entire WCAG/RGAA in that voice... 🤣

I've taken to testing every assistive technology I can come across (got my job to install NVDA on a dedicated laptop 🥳). Today's Google Lookout. And granted it's not perfect, but I'm still blown away by how much it can identify in my mess of an apartment. I wish I could contribute to apps like this!

So a knight, a synth, a mutant and a radio host are in an elevator... #Fallout4

This is fine.gif send skeet. 🔥

In this episode of "Mabeobja tries to cosplay as a normal woman but misses by 70 years"... That dress was made before I was born, lol. I don't even think my own mother was born. 🤣 (I don't care if it's out of fashion, it's. Orange. And. Purple. 💜🧡)
