My #PRGE haul from yesterday! That NES console is a complete-in-box test market console from the initial 1985 US launch--something I'd been trying to find for YEARS.
The physical Sierra catalogue was a fun bonus!

Today was my last day at ArenaNet, but new adventures await! It's been an absolutely incredible 8 years, and I couldn't be more excited by what this team is building.
I'll be taking a short break in September, but if you're coming to PAX, be sure to say hello at the Sunsgrove Studios booth, #662!

Moved into the new house and the global cat distribution system saw I needed some new friends, so apparently we have two of the cutest cats ever just living on our back porch now.

I definitely used to do this to offset new console costs, but as someone who's spent years recollecting my old consoles and games, I kinda wish I'd hung onto more of my stuff instead of trading it in/selling it.

Had to say goodbye to Kenzie yesterday. Hardest decision I've ever had to make. After 18 years of cross-country adventure, he's finally gone somewhere I couldn't follow. He was my best little bud and I'm going to miss him so, so much.

I am SO tired of videos where somebody is about to do something normal and then they wag their finger condescendingly like you're an IDIOT for wanting to do that. You are a FOOL.

When you're writing, you'll chase wild ideas that seem cool on the page, even if they're wildly impractical. And that's fun!
But at the same time, don't forget that if you have a load-bearing scene where a guy powerslides a horse under a truck, everyone will hate you.

We visited the westernmost bookstore in the US in Hanapepe called Talk Story Bookstore and I found some amazing stuff there!
Also apparently Hanapepe was the inspiration for Kokaua Town in Lilo & Stitch??
