I am so excited to see the release of a game I got to work on: Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty! I loved being a part of the research that led to the development of this great DLC! #cyberpunk2077 #PhantomLiberty #gaming #womeningames

We often use 7-point ratings to measure people's preferences and attitudes (e.g., “how much do you like X?” 1=not at all, 7=very much). In a new paper (just accepted at @APA's Decision; full paper at the end of thread), I demonstrate a problem with such rating measures. (1/n)

@unitygames I was unhappy with the thought of staying in academia, a friend of mine suggested I try working with video games. It had never occurred to me until that day that there are people making these games, and get paid for it 🥲

@SirBecas Thank you! I can’t recommend IGDA GRUX special interest group enough, and the associated discord. They have lists of resources and a mentorship scheme, 1000% recommended. Plus following people here, like @Steve_Bromley, finding and his books and resources def. helped
