As a Patriots fan, I couldn't have asked for a better game against the Jets because it means we get to see Dobbs throw the ball for a little while now.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Many thoughts on the @crkd.gg guitar for Fortnite Festival / Rock Band 4 but also haven't really given it more than a few hours of play yet. Just enjoying (and kinda shocked!) that I am playing rhythm games with a modern plastic instrument in 2025.
What an amazing gift to have gotten for Christmas.

Alright, I am (and have been for a few hours) officially on holiday time. World of warcraft is installed, updated, and ready for my two-ish week yearly ritual of being an MMO gamer.

It's the day before our company holiday break and I am surprised it really took until 3PM for me to start feeling mentally checked out.
Did a lot of quiet work these last two days, but boy am I *ready* for some time off and away to relax, play games, and do some writing.

I probably could have and should have taken the day off of work today, but what other day of the year is so perfectly quiet to be able to spend over 6 hours writing your self performance review and doing your peer reviews as well.

The amount of Diablo IV I’ve been playing this last week or so is… actually I do not think I should check nor say how much.

Congrats to all the winners and nominees tonight! And our biggest of thanks to folks who turned up on our picket line, took a flier or zine, or showed us support (either in person or online). The industry might be dead, but it is actively being reborn every day by the efforts of us: the developers.
