While unemployed (hopefully briefly), I’ve started up a newsletter I used to do at a couple other companies. I aggregate different gaming site feeds so you don’t have to. Check out this week’s update: pushingbuttons.beehiiv.com/p/the-week-i...

My house crew has gotten back into Sea of Thieves. We are playing Safer Seas so that we aren’t bickering at each other and upset at losing stuff to PvP. Last night we took down 2 megalodons for the first time. Great fun!

Growing up, I heard the constant reminder that Social Security wasn’t going to be around forever. Pensions had died out for workers in the early 90’s. What we had left was IRAs & 401k’s - making our money work for us. I’ve been rug pulled on that 2x now. They don’t want us to thrive at all.

Since May, I have taken up gardening, both indoors and out. It’s been good to help me relax, destress, occasionally disconnect from media. In other news, I added a new tier to my hydroponic garden earlier this month…

An old Wildstar prop is gonna be conscripted tomorrow for office decor while we shoot a video. I hope it makes it to a final clip. It’s been hanging out in my garage far too long.
