A little demonstration at @DoESLiverpool of our mixed reality VR project #SafeAR, undertaken with support from @STFC_Matters @STFC_B2B @UKRI_News. It went really well and we're very excited about collaborating with others to take this forward! #WeekNotes

Poppy is a wonder - someone that bridges technical design and code with aplomb. If you have any roles that would suit, you won't regret talking to her. Two thumbs up from me.

Poppy's a genius and diamond of a human - any studio would be incredibly lucky to have her!
I've seen first-hand some of the amazing stuff she's been working on recently - you'd be crazy to miss out on adding her to your team!

Poppy is brilliant. Pls hire her 🙏
hello there! i am sadly another person in the UK games industry who's been laid off.
If you know of any Technical Game Designer roles or Junior Programmer roles going then pretty please slide them my way and i'll compensate you with a picture of a cat i can find on the internet
George has this incredible knack with words. If you ever saw a thing with words coming out of anything Ripstone, they were almost certainly his. 1/2

This shot was so fun to do. Believe it or not, that slide was NOT planned. Our Producer at the time was driving the car and I was on camera and directing (All the shots are controlled in real time btw, no splines or scripted bullshit) And they hit the acid and lost traction, I started SCREAMING "TURN LEFT! TURN LEFT! OWN IT!" as I moved the camera around (completely independently of the car btw) cause I knew if they turned hard enough I could wrap the camera around the front end of the car and get a cool transition cut out of it.
Turned out sick as fuck. A lot of capture is equal parts improv and brutally fast thinking with fine motor skills to get the camera in position.

i am BEYOND angry.
i just got off my call with my gynaecologist. he asked how my cycles have been and i said i hadn’t gotten my period since august.
it is common for me to go a few months without periods, the longest i have gone is 9 months! i have PCOS so my cycle is not 1/12
