I don't remember which scene was happening, but I remember 13yo me playing this game when my dad suddenly walked in at an awkward moment. He stared at the screen for a few seconds, then gave me a high five and left. Later in life I would learn that he "feared I was gay" (jokes on him, I'm bi) ๐คญ

Dude, it was an honor working with you through the Redfall years, no matter how it was received by the public. Thank you for helping to make Arkane my first ever home in the industry! I only wish we could've kept going.
Gonna tell my kids this was Balatro
Went back to the original Dark Souls today for the first time since 2018. Hot damn did that game have the *sauce* โ๏ธ๐ก๏ธ There is just something timeless about Lordran's level design and worldbuilding that none of the sequels (or Elden Ring) ever recaptured ๐๐ฅ
Christmas in my house means willingly giving up Shadow of the Erdtree time so that my 7yo can enjoy Astro Bot all day. And I wouldn't have it any other way ๐๐ฎ
Wednesday: I should finally check out this #Balatro game that everyone's been hyping up all year. It even got a GOTY nod.
Thursday: Ehh, it's OK. Not sure I see the hype.
Saturday: I DON'T NEED SLEEP, I NEED MULTS. NEW RUN BABYYYYYY--

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume?

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is the long-awaited sequel to our shopkeeping roguelike ARPG, coming to PC and consoles in 2025.

I remember sneezing and the final boss of FF12 fell over
Alright fine, I admit it. I said I was dropping #DragonAge Origins because I wasn't having fun, but I can't help but come back to it. I want to know what happens, and I want to solidify the Hero of Ferelden's legend in this save file. Based on what I know, Leliana is gonna be heartbroken in DAI ๐
The hostility with which some intellectuals regard the existence of YA never ceases to amaze me.
Yes, teenagers read. No, they shouldn't be restricted to YA only. But yes, it is good for them to have books written specifically for them!
Aymeric's YEET eyes have lived rent-free in my head for years now. Thank you @tofudomination.bsky.social for this gem!
Started #DragonAge 2 last night. A couple of hours in and I already love it more than the first. Origins started strong, but after 20 hours the plot ran cold and the interesting worldbuilding explorations weren't enough to keep my interest. And when a game becomes a chore instead of fun, I drop it.
The years I spent at Arkane were some of the best, most fulfilling of my life. Such an incredible group of deeply passionate creators. RIP my dear Arkane Austin. May we all meet again among the stars โจ๐โจ
