I liked this song in Fahrenheit.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Honestly super interested in the ages of several posters in the thread...

 

[lughnasadh123]

I'm all for tasteless tit jokes, but this isn't one. Losing someone to cancer is a terrible thing to go through.

 

[MMaRsu]

So, WTF she did while she was there?

 

[Xtib81]

For real though, what the hell was her position at SM?

Cory Balrog’s BFF in chief

Writer. She says it in her video 20 seconds in.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Writer.

Just a writer of things, right? Blogger?

Couldn't be the narrative development side...

 

[SlimySnake]

the man is already dead so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

her biological father is still alive. so is her mom.

 

[Saber]

Jesus christ. This woman is talking about leaving a full time job because her stepdad died of cancer and she realized living in a different country and barely seeing her family is not working for her, specially when the one time she spent the most time with her family in 10 years was to watch someone die and she needed this wake up call to make this decision and y'all are talking about her qualifications. Have some fucking respect guys. Seriously.

I'm sorry for her loss, I really do. But it's not like enough reason for me to care about her job or life choices. She has my condolences, but respect for what she do or her decisions? Nah.

 

[Heaven Angel]

I bet it won't make any difference in workfield in SM except an eye candy.

There are a lot of things that have to be written in a game, not just dialogue and narrative, and even the 1st of those two can't be done by one or two people for a Sony game that has thousands of lines for lots of different situations.

I mean she has a degree in writing, so I don't see why not.

 

[recursive]

Call me an old man yelling at clouds, but who cares? She was there for like 2 years and didn’t do anything impactful. Why make a video about it? If this was Cory Barlog, it would make sense because he has been there so long and has done so much, but who does she think she is?

This behavior of announcing everything on social media and making videos about themselves whenever those occasions arise make me intensely dislike the narcissistic social media generation. Always me, me, me.

This seems a big trend in video games. Other industries people don't do this as much. Who really gives a shit?

Now I am back to yelling at clouds.

She was a dev writer. Not a lead writer but one of the writers. Dont think she did much work on GoW but looks like she did alot in the new Cory Barlog game.

 

[Heaven Angel]

Next stop, Only Fans?

 

[SmokedMeat]

It can’t be easy living across the world from your family, and rarely getting to spend time with them. She’s reevaluating after a big loss in her family.

Those vacation days are awful though. I work 5-6 days a week and get five weeks vacation. That doesn’t include sick days. To be with a company for ten years and only getting ten days?! That’s ridiculous.

 

[TommyCronin6969]

This goes both ways though.

You also shouldn't trash someone you DON'T know online.

When did I trash her?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

She's going home to be with her family. Hopefully the experience changes her. Seems like a good move to me.

 

[hemo memo]

A one-day vacation a year for ten years? We have a saying in my region that translates to "I knew it was a lie because of how big it was."

 

[Northeastmonk]

Safe travels femme fatale

 

[Kacho]

Absolutely not. Her goal was to earn herself some easy cred by having writing credit on a big SSM project. She'll probably still get that too.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I'll be a respectful misogynist this time and wish her the best. Sucks about her dad

 

[djjinx2]

I was about to say something, but I forgot what was on my mind.

Anyway...

It took me way to many posts to get here, Gaf I am dissapoint

 

[Peroroncino]

wasn't she like responsible for some accessibility writing? who gives a shit XD

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

She was a dev writer. Not a lead writer but one of the writers. Dont think she did much work on GoW but looks like she did alot in the new Cory Barlog game.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Definitely not good for her finances, but great for her sanity to just unplug from youtube and social media for a month. Just, spend time with family. Go on a hike and don't post anything about it on instagram.

 

[xanaum]

If I'm not mistaken, she was responsible for the story paths in God of War Ragnarök that brought all that moral lesson stuff about Odin's abusive relationship with Freya, as well as the personality and events with Angrboda.

If that's true, her leaving is a big win for Sony Santa Monica.

 

[Mayar]

This is exactly the case when people are more interested in your Instagram than what you did while working for the company

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

I mean she has a degree in writing, so I don't see why not.

Hmmm...

I'm not sure that I actually ever cared or considered her role to be anything other than hot gaming influencer chick.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Not sure it's the right decision but she is hoping to freelance and still make enough money.

Didn’t she confirm she freelanced for them from the beginning which is why she can do all those other side activities?

We'll probably never know what she really did. Her role could have been something as minor as peer reviewing other peoples work for 20 hours a week.

 

[AJUMP23]

Removing my joke......it was mean.

Yeah, it's pretty weird people in here laughing at this.

 

[EN250]

Onlyfools account ready to launch if everything else fails, SIMPS will pay extra just because "nerd gamer girl/used to be in the game industry" delusional morons

 

[TheRedRiders]

Another CoomerGaf thread.

 

[kevboard]

I liked this song in Fahrenheit.

yup. I downloaded all 3 of their songs that were in Fahrenheit back in the day and had them on my PSP which I used as an MP3 player

 

[Fahdis]

How this read in my mind.

I'm worst.

Good for her. Breast of fuck elsewhere.

 

[reinking]

Good for her and good luck. I’m sure she makes enough money from her social presence. I see no reason to bag on her for her work at Sony since we have not seen it yet and no reason to defend her since she has made her life public. It sucks to lose a family member and it seems she wants to make changes that bring her closer to her remaining family. From my personal experience. Good choice.

 

[Fahdis]

she will be missed

Fixed for most of GAF.

 

[SHA]

Is it just me or all masters degree holders are easy quitters? One of many reasons I haven't planned to study the masters degree, to me, making high networth is much smarter and meaningful in life.

 

[RCX]

I legit have no idea who this person is.

Can someone give me a tldr of why I should care (aside from her giant milkers)?

 

[poodaddy]

You shouldn't. Those milkers are the only notable thing about her.

 

[Randall365]

Sounds like one of those bloody awful porn videos that for some reason clogs up the first ten pages on Xvideo - ‘big titted blond gags on step-dad surprise’ or some such nonsense.

Who watches all those?

 

[JaksGhost]

This place is worse than 4Chan and you wonder why people in the industry don't frequent this forum.

 

[hollams]

I guess the old addage, if you can't say something nice then don't say nothing at all is just completely gone from our society. People putting down others to feel good about themseleves is the new norm.

I lost my dad 2 years ago and even though we had a great relationship and saw each other regularly I still feel like I should have been there more. When you get older you realize how few people in your life truely love and care about you.
