Lots of stuff in the latest 2XKO patch that GAT fought for before the layoffs. Bittersweet, but proud and happy.

I think being left on-read is one of the most hurtful things you can do to someone, even if it isn't malicious. That awkward silence says more than words ever could. There are reasons people retreat into themselves - this is one of them.

That being said, my Doordash driver canceled my order.

I am Baja Blastoise

I did the best I could with the best team I could have asked for. Working at Riot has been a dream and an unforgettable experience. It's going to take a long time to heal for me, though.

I told myself I'd play E33 over the holidays but I ended up getting sucked into Elden Ring Reforged instead. I'm getting cooked.

Goodbye buddy. Thank you for letting me be your dad.

- Third Person is a must

If this exists, I'd be amazed at this point. Plenty of games have some of these, but I don't think many (if any) have all of them.

My Unicorn:

- Open world
- Class based action rpg w/loot
- Deep character creator
- LOTS of unlockable cosmetics
- Not MMO
- Intricate level design that rewards exploration
- No FOMO
- Fun gameplay loop
- Anime aesthetic
- Difficult combat and environments
- Transmog
- Soft MP
- No gacha
- Few MTX

Thanks dawg. It's an old pain but a familiar one. It's a special kind of EVOla. This is the kind I welcome though. 🙏

Switching handles has its price lmao. Commentators still using the old handle, but I'm using Funtaxx until it sticks. Maybe it's a motivator to enter events again...

Here's to 25 more.

Going back home after EVO is always so bittersweet. I feel pretty isolated from the community and such back home (a lot of that is my own habits, shame on me). Whenever I'm at an event and come out of my shell, I'm always happy and grateful for all the friends I've made doing this the past 25 years.

If anyone is at the airport, my flight is at 3ish. If not, safe travels

I'm sad that Brad never got to see our game release. It's times like this that hit the hardest, knowing he's gone. He'd have loved Vi and Yasuo.

The fatigue is real! Hungry but can't make myself get up to go eat lmao. Mind wants to play games but the body is weak.

The response to 2XKO has been amazing, and we can't wait to finally give this game to the players!

Wouldn't be here without the homies. Thank you for everything. #rev2forev2

Tempted to see if anyone wants to play Xrd in my room

Another night lying awake with a sick dog. Still can't really believe Slips is gone. I don't think I'll ever believe it. If I have to say it every day from now on I will, if that means people will remember him.

It's hard to get anything done at all. It's like the world is slanted now. It's wrong.

Still can't believe he's gone.

I am a wreck. He was like a brother to me. 23 years I knew him. I fucking played Super Tecmo Bowl III with his whole family for like 5 years! COUNTLESS nights talking games, playing fighting games, just chilling.

He's gone now. I can't process it at all. This is as bad as when my dad died.

...Brad's gone? I can't believe this...I just can't

I love Elden Ring: Nightreign but I have some requests for QoL stuff.

1. Give us a system to combine relics instead of just selling off ones we don't find appealing.

2. Don't lock things like alternate chalice layouts or shop stock exclusively behind Nightlord kills.

3. Duo mode.

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

Look Bloodborne is one of my favorite games ever, right? I'd still like to see Demon's Souls 2 first.

My job, and the people I work with, are very important to me! I want to project that energy all the time. I'm only a very small part of a much larger and far more talented team, and I really want to do the best job I can - not just for me, but for them. I've never been more thankful in my life.

...as many as I can, then doing an analysis on the genre itself. This will be a long-form analysis of the minutiae within each game that make up the total experience of playing it. FOR EXAMPLE, why FromSoft uses the same sound font for all of its souls games (aside from frugality) 2/2

I started my Souls journey with Demon's Souls in 2009 with the NA release, but have been a FromSoft fan for far longer. The first Moonlight Blade I ever found was in the original Armored Core on PS1.

There are SO MANY (soulslikes) now that there are enough for me to spend 2025 playing 1/2

You love to see it
