Took a bit of a breather today. Ordered Sichuan from a neighborhood place, walked one of my dogs to go pick it up. It was a beautiful day outside.

Played some games. Chatted with some friends.

I'm feeling recharged.

It’s absolutely frying me that the new season of The Pitt is tackling how dumb Gen AI is.

2XKO is officially out! A lot of great people worked very hard to bring the best game they could to you.

This is the game that made me learn more than I ever wanted to know about console certification.

I hope everyone has a lot of fun with it!

If I ever kick off and do my own little game, the UI is going to be so obnoxiously inspired by PC-98 games that no one will want to play it. And I think that's beautiful.

2026 is the year of MMOs, I guess, as it's only 19 days in and I'm already juggling WoW, FF14, and DQX.

It does feel good to be back to my roots, though. In my waking dreams I see Crushbone, Anarchy Online, Asheron's Call, and Nexus:TK.

RIP I was about to post that today was going to be a good day because it was the first day in forever I didn't get an ad for a quest in Discord, but one just popped up.

I just want to be a gremlin and sit on the couch all weekend and play Expedition 33 while eating takeout.

Is that so much to ask?

The way Expedition 33 combat feels like a turn based Souls game is just… it.

I was forged in the fires of Father Gascoigne so that I could land Expedition Counters.

Suikoden 1 HD Remaster in the books.

I remember long ago, playing it for the first time and being amazed at how sprawling the world felt and how serious the consequences were.

It still holds up! There’s nothing like uniting 108 drifting Stars of Destiny to a cause greater than themselves.

I’m not going to wake up for the Direct because I’ve got a long day tomorrow, but I’m really hoping to wake up to some Fire Emblem or Metroid Prime 2/3 Remastered news.

Sometimes working at a game company means dropping from a meeting to avoid spoilers on a game you haven't gotten around to yet. πŸ˜…

Being the president of my HOA is awful and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, but it does have perks sometimes. Some random gifts I’ve been given as thanks for work I did this week:

1. A 3lb jar of honey 🐝
2. A nice tea assortment from Jeju 🍡
3. An assortment of croissants πŸ₯

That was the biggest shock to me when I moved to LA. The city just kind of dies at 10pm.

Yesterday I was feeling a bit down that I wasn’t driving impact in some key initiatives the way I wanted to.

And today I feel like we moved the needle in some key ways that have me flying high.

Design do be like that.
