polygon and giant bomb dead in the same week is just unfathomable
making someone get out there and do the Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf thing for the brand in the middle of all this is cruel even by most corporate standards.
Or hear me out.... Fandom could go fuck themselves. With an oversized tree branch. I've been listening to Giantbomb since 2008, you don't get to just slap their logo on whatever you think is brand safe and think we'll follow
(also really feel bad for the social media employee forced to write that)
Fandom tells Kotaku that Giant Bomb content remains paused as part of a "strategic reset and realignment of our media brands."
Says it's working on "creative ideas for the future of Giant Bomb" even as Dan Ryckert and Jeff Grubb depart amid a clash over interference.
here's that Starter Pack of Polygon people you were looking for bsky.app/starter-pack...
I'm still in shock and so so deeply angry about Vox Media's decision to sell Polygon. I am one of the over 20 people laid off today from the best damn website out there. I'm so proud of the place we built, and the workplace I helped shape. I'm sure I'll have more to say soon, but processing it now

I had some folks tell me "I'm good at ___" or "I'm a good man", and yeah I fucking am. Fuck this "I'm average" or "I lucked out" mindset. The people in my orbit are lucky to have me. And I need to be better to the folks who believed in me.
+ Stumbled into a turn of phrase last night. I'm an open book and direct with folks not b/c I'm lazy and don't want to expend the extra energy to mask shit. I'm efficient with my time. I'm not conflict avoidant. I'm above the many petty fights & seek solutions. Apologies & sympathies go a long way.
2024 was the year where my ego was shattered, and I haven't felt that bad in over a decade. Tail end of the year and start of 2025 the confidence came back. The anger and frustration channeled into action, the ceiling I placed myself under didn't exist. Good is a verb.

“Forced inflation” would be such a killshot to counter stupid narratives around tariffs and privatization.
And again, it’s a video game ass sequence of events.
“Why the hell do we have a dishwasher here in the back?”
*somebody complained about trying to find a dishwasher weeks later*
*i mention the one in the back, gets permission, and bring it to her car*
But this year has been all about matching willingness to help with my ability to help.
Manifest the potential i’ve denied myself.

At the “Funemployment” stage if that wasn’t obvious lol
Getting addicted to completing quests.
Friend down the road asked to help move a bed frame inside his house since his mom can’t do it alone.
Used prior knowledge of random junk at the cat lounge to save people money.
Who needs RPGs when you can turn your life into one.
I’ll await for a guide for all that to stumble into. It’s like porting over an entire music streaming library.
