this is a mild, unserious take but i think with few exceptions you shouldn't name your very first game in a series [Thing]: [Subtitle]. you should just have to name it [Thing] and then if it does well and you make a second one you can start adding subtitles.

Hey friends! Long time, no see.
I'm in Boston now! I have left Texas as most of my friends have already left, and there just wasn't any work there for me. So after 15 years of jumping around the country I'm back to where I originally came from.
If you're a mutual, lmk if you're ever around!

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas!

There is only one way to stand up to a bully.
Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect.
I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Trump drops the demeaning "governor" stuff and calls Carney by his correct title

The reason I went back to making Balatro 3 months after I essentially gave it up in March 2022 was because I was bored but the internet was out so I couldn't play Rocket League
