I can not fathom a more romantic gesture than to spend your last words gassing up your spouse's legacy.
The last toast by the legend herself:
I leave it up to you to go to lindken.com and look up Jennell Jacques, now look at her job description, goddess of technology… and fuck cancer, fuck it in the ass

Disheartening to have lost both Rebecca Heineman and Jennell Jacquays in the last two years. Two incredibly influential women in the game space, both video and tabletop, that should never be forgotten.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.
Fuck cancer.

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

Just realized Hundred Line isn't nominated for a single category and I threw up a little.

Completely wild that Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter isn't up for best RPG at the Geoff Awards. Just keep the meme going of ignoring any JRPG that isn't Persona or FF.

Forgot to post my predictions here but I’m 5/6 hah. Surprised KDC2 made it, consumer response was huge but critical felt low key compared to some other options, thought Split Fiction would have that slot.
The Game Awards GOTY nominees leaked:
-Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
-Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
-Donkey Kong Bananza
-Hades II
-Hollow Knight: Silksong
-Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Finished up the post game in Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D (thanks to @square-enix-games.com for the code!) and what an absolutely incredible way to cap off this remake trilogy. Perfection.

Go watch many games media folk play Mario Kart World to fundraise medical relief for @begroom.bsky.social and his wife Jen dealing with MG.
If we hit their 20k goal by the end of night, I will shave my head (and I really don't want to do that).

The Square Enix layoffs really hurt to see, especially having had the chance to meet and work with people I know who are being affected by it. Feels like this industry is only getting smaller and smaller when it comes to the human element, and I hate to see it keep happening.
