Something pretty special arrived in the mail today. Reading through this series with @jeffcannata.bsky.social has been a deeply meaningful experience -- it feels surreal to be 'officially' tied to something that has meant so much to us!
Wow. ♥️

It's amazing to play a game that has such confidence in their world and the quality of their art that they can provide an opportunity to just sit and sing for a while and know that folks will be eager for the chance.
I never miss it. Inspiring!

I'm finally catching up on @dlchypetrain.bsky.social and HOO boy I am so glad that I wasn't there for @rajdeut.com's episode because it would have been me just repeating every word as closely as possible so I can stick the landing on "my bones" in the future.

The gift from @jeffcannata.bsky.social @christianspicer.bsky.social to give us free episodes of paid DLC with @latienie.bsky.social was a mistake. Much like last years graphics card, the main show is now GARBAGE**! The midweek show is hilarious from start to tooting finish.

People are responding to this with confused outrage (the ‘outrage’ part is fair fwiw), so as a reminder: lay-offs are to appease the stock market and Phil is saying this to shareholders.
The company isn’t worried about making you mad because you, ultimately, don’t matter. Only shareholders do.

Just rolled credits on Expedition 33 and the thing that is still sticking to me is how well executed the banter is between characters (esp. Verso and Monoco). The competitive friendliness is so rarely captured in games with the right level of casual, silly, & cutting - exquisite delivery!

If there is anything that stands as a testament to the bond we built as a team, it's over 200 people showing up - most of us no longer working at the company, driving from other cities, flying in from other states, spending our own time and money - to take a photo together.
Happy 10 years, Heroes.

The hardest part about watching the Devil's Plan is seeing the bounty of delicious foods on the tables in the planning rooms that stick around for seemingly hours.
These players have a willpower that I simply do not.

Marta is one of the most thoughtful creative people I know, and she's just started making sweet, soft merch for your home and body. 😍🥰♥️
I'm launching a merch shop which nobody asked for (in the middle of a recession! how smart!)
TL:DR I was feeling blue and I made t-shirts out of it. More info on why I did this at heymartu.com
