I'm doing OK, as I said in the thread, info games as a side quest not my main quest these days, my company just got almost half a billion more in funding today.

Software Eng, Sr. Director, but I've also done DevOps.
Games and Games mentoring became my side quest a few years ago because the industry was untenable in how it treats its people.

AND I'm usually guaranteed years of job security.

Y'all have no idea, I make nearly 70% more in enterprise tech for doing the same job I did in games.

The industry is broken and doesn't deserve the passion of the people that truly built it.
This game was and is an absolute hit.
And not months after a hugely successful release... This.
It's time to burn it all to the ground.

As midnight slowly approaches, remember to roll for initiative before 2025. Don't let that fucker get first turn against you.

If you haven't read this, please take a moment to guess which game NBC is talking about here. Which assassination game might be inferred by this headline to have radicalized Luigi into supposedly committing the most artistically thought-out assassination of the past decade.

As y'all get to know me better there is a decision you need to make. If we ever hang out in the real, and it comes decision time about something and I say "Fuck it", you can either stand with me and hold on, or run away, because I'm about to make some questionable life choices...
