The theme of this year: Gaming Leadership makes bad business decisions . Let go of Talented Senior Staff. Game Leadership says how hard it is but doesn’t sacrifice anything themselves. Same leadership continues forward with hurt team. Repeat every month throughout 2023.

New info about the Bungie layoffs. Per a source:

Holy fucking shit

I found my old Pokémon card collection and one of them goes for $37,500 with a PSA 10 grade. Then the devastation hit when there was the tiniest wrinkle. For a brief second, I knew what winning the lottery felt like 😂

So proud of this team. Best in the world, no fucking doubt.

Haven’t done a serious post about this yet cuz I haven’t figured out how to process it. 6 years is a long time to work on something. In many ways this is the tentpole under which we all shared our enthusiasm for the joint adventure. Let’s keep it up. Let’s not make this goodbye.

They don’t care that much about the money made beyond it being the fuel they need to create new and better games. It’s worth reminding everyone that fuel is but a means, not a goal. Whereto and how we journey are what matter and what we remember (16/16)

My sisters keep watching Sam Hartman tiktok videos and sending them to me please help (he is very handsome to be fair)

My phone sent me a notice that this was exactly four years ago. Almost unbelievable to think of how the time has flown by and everything that's happened since, especially with how lockdown happened so soon after it. That PAX is definitely one of those highly cherished memories 🥹

Starting next month, I'll be at Patreon working in the trust and safety field again! Feels fantastic to finally be back to it 😎

Patreon Las Vegas was incredible. I drove a bulldozer.

Going back through Halo: Reach again and appreciating just how wonderfully cinematic the entire game is. Long Night of Solace from beginning to end is one of the greatest and most devastating moments in the entire series.

The Portuguese countryside legitimately making me feel so happy and thankful to be here and in another place so unique and wonderful. Visiting Europe is always an unreal mood booster and joyful time.

Really an incredible place. Can't wait to get back over here and see more soon.

The Beginner’s Guide is such a good game. I think about it a lot and just what makes it so powerful of a story. Definitely one of those stories that will stick with me for life.

Happy 2nd anniversary to BG3! Absolutely some of my all-time favorite memories were spent with the lads doing PAX and E3 for DOS2 and BG3. Hard to believe it has been so long since then, but that just means we're one step closer to what's coming next 👀

It has been nearly 5 years since I have been able to visit The Lads ™️ in person for our weekly D&D session. It feels unreal to be here and I am so grateful to get to see (almost) everyone again. Can't wait to be back for the campaign finale at the end of the year!

My gaming group's TGA drinking game had a carve out specifically for me if Divinity 3 was announced and I do not think my liver will survive the night 😂
