So here's my First Game UI Design, a concept design of Call of Duty Mobile.
This was designed and prototyped using Figma.
Link to behance presentation and prototype in thread below 🙏.

June 2021, was telling a friend about being rejected at Facebook. 5 months later, I got another shot
Don’t give up!

It’s just students being students, man.
Most of them are on survival mode, plus they end up sharing the food to their pals in the hostel anyway.

Spent almost an hour making this video and TikTok still misaligned the audio after taking forever to upload.
Wallahi, I will not be deleting or making another. Make the audience bear with me 😂

I now have a notes app where i jot down all my tweets because twitter is a black hole where my attention span goes to die. so now i’m going to be spam tweeting every few days, and thats okay.
Capitalism strikes again.
I guess this season is over, it was a good one year run.
We move, better days ahead.

Wrote about some of things I tried but didn’t go as planned, so far this year.
It’s been one interesting here but I’m grateful, because good days are getting better 💕🦋

Omo I just realized my last meeting for the day is by 11:30pm, who approved this ntori olohun. I thought it was slated for 9pm.
Omo, my new PA is resuming next week and her work is so cut out for her, I am so sorry for her because it is not me these people will kill.
Yeahh so you aren't alone alright?
For years my friends and I have slowly established that I am not a reliable narrator because most times what is/was a core memory for the squad, I only remember in bits, in passing, not at all or until I see a physical evidence of said event like videos, pictures, writings, reciepts etc.
Basically I can function as a super computer but with little to minimal storage unit left 💀 and now my brain "auto" filters out information not "deemed" neccessary which is annoying because how does it know or decides this? I can't tell, I'll read up more on that, but yeah now to oversharing 🧍♂️.
Firstly I am on the spectrum; AUDHD, Aspergers Syndrome with type C Adhd (Opor mehn lmfaooo 💀) and sadly I have been exposed to a lot of trauma from childhood and so dissociating has been my coping mechanism dealing with pain and trauma
For context, I "InTenTiOnallY" dissociated for two years when I lost a mother figure to deal with grief (stage one- Denial) and I literally told my baby brother today that he has to tell me about what happened last year while I was hospitalized and under the waters because my friends told me I was always laughing about something (inside joke 🧍♂️) when they called or something and I can't even remember what was funny then to me 😂✋🏼(cope).
Our brains also do this for us subconsciously to protect us (Joy from Pixar's Inside Out - watch this again)
So perhaps you are on the spectrum and perhaps a couple of contributing factors like doomscrolling, food quality, health and family history predisposition, anxiety, lack of sleep (suffer from this too 💀) etc could be your own reason.
A lot more people suffer from this than they realize.
I have finally decided to get clinical help with this because I was touring Asia last month and if you ask me about the trip now (ololololo 😂💀). And this was when I knew the pressure is getting werserrr💀✋🏼.
Any ways, there is hope and food and supplements and actual mental exercises that can reduce the deterioration of these events but firstly, acknowledging it is the first step🧍♂️.
So for now I can only advice an active uptake in documentation; pictures, videos, tweets, journals, voicenotes, video messages, notion, icloud uploads, scrapbooks, vlogs, youtube but not like doing it for others but for yourself on days when you don't remember. Also ask your friends and love ones to document you and store them.
Appeal-heal your inner child and try to unlock your whimsy, travel - explore and go down memory lane, crave new things to stretch your neuroplasticity limits, interact with old things you used to love before the world gave you a screen to look at and deadlines to chase and capitalism to dance with.
Create slow mornings, take walks to reflect, journal and try to rewire your own brain chemistry.
Get clinical help if you can afford it and use supplements to assist with brain fogs, get therapy as well because while mental health issues are invisible, a continuous non acknowledgment of them stores up in the body - brain and shows up in ways you won't believe and now everyone can see your skeletons from 20years ago 💀.
So take active steps to reclaim your memory, read more about it.
You can also follow @dodoo_darling , just last week she told me black coffee helps, I don't like coffee but I guess I will have coffee now rather than caprisonnes (fall to my knees 😂)
So yeeahhhh, that's enough oversharing for today
Arigato goziamusu.
Do your research
Be good
☘️
I'll try to be patient.
I don't know for how long tho.
I am tired and perhaps pathetic.
I need to sleep.
I need to eat.
Hmm,
So, this depends on what you are consuming and also what you intend to create. Sometimes, it is okay to only consume, so that when you eventually want to create, you are creating from a wealth of what you have consumed.
Trying to create more can, at times, be an antithesis to the very growth one might be seeking. So maybe, finding balance and defining the seasons according to what your sky is saying (farming) is better than planting all year long.
Then, being very intentional about what you want to create, refining your skill or output to only the finest quality, like a sniper who has one shot but with the awareness that he possesses more bullets if he misses the first.
Sometimes, you just need to create once or something. I don't really know. There is no clearly defined metric for what one is seeking.
Perhaps, a constant K should be "Near Perfection" or, better still, "Excellence", with extra points for "Presentation"
Also, all of this is hypothetical, and I am musing to myself.

It's been 2 years working @Risevest now, time does indeed fly. Two years doing work that I am genuinely in love with and passionate about and doing it with a team of ridiculously talented folks.

my simple philosophy.
do what you gotta do except commit fraud and cheat. just do anything under the confines of the law to get out of the rat race and out of poverty.
you deserve happiness.
Your job is to make as much money as possible by any means necessary. Don’t box yourself into roles. Don’t identify with your job. Nobody cares if you’re a software/ai/cloud/anything engineer, your knowledge might be obsolete in a few months and you could get laid off next year, who knows.
Build multiple income sources. Skill up. Try to escape the rat race. Play the system. Cheat. Commit fraud. Lie on your resume. Whatever. You’re not winning this game by staying a good, obedient employee.
