Ran point on our involvement at the West Hollywood Pride Parade, with strong rep from Santa Monica Studio, Naughty Dog, and Insomniac.

So exhausted lol but real proud of these teams and all we stand up for.

The lesson to be learned from the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is very similar to the thing you can learn from Baldur's Gate 3, which is that if you were exactly that group of people at exactly that moment in time doing exactly that specific thing, it'll work out for you.

playing the tactical game, made my slack status "it's my birthday! you wouldn't assign a guy JIRA tickets on his birthday would you?"

Today is 5 years since Jake died. Feels incomprehensible sometimes, and there's points you can't bear the way each day there's more space from a world that held his voice, that there's less of the world that remembers him.

But I think that's where holding on matters the most

as someone who likes Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" it's funny how the big thing about it is that everyone's like "ahhh it is not about going to the zoo and a movie and having a nice time with someone, it's about heroin" and Lou Reed had to keep being like "no it is literally about a nice day I had"

sex is great but has a dear friend ever given you their own copy of their favorite book, adorned with highlights and notes of the things that spoke to them, and worn by years of re-reading, such that as you read it you get a new level of appreciation for what they love

anyway

this moment in KH really hit me as a kid and I feel like the more life I live the more I think back to it. Especially leaving a place or a person for a long time.
