Thanks dawg. It's an old pain but a familiar one. It's a special kind of EVOla. This is the kind I welcome though. πŸ™

Switching handles has its price lmao. Commentators still using the old handle, but I'm using Funtaxx until it sticks. Maybe it's a motivator to enter events again...

Going back home after EVO is always so bittersweet. I feel pretty isolated from the community and such back home (a lot of that is my own habits, shame on me). Whenever I'm at an event and come out of my shell, I'm always happy and grateful for all the friends I've made doing this the past 25 years.

I'm sad that Brad never got to see our game release. It's times like this that hit the hardest, knowing he's gone. He'd have loved Vi and Yasuo.

The fatigue is real! Hungry but can't make myself get up to go eat lmao. Mind wants to play games but the body is weak.

The response to 2XKO has been amazing, and we can't wait to finally give this game to the players!

Another night lying awake with a sick dog. Still can't really believe Slips is gone. I don't think I'll ever believe it. If I have to say it every day from now on I will, if that means people will remember him.

It's hard to get anything done at all. It's like the world is slanted now. It's wrong.

I am a wreck. He was like a brother to me. 23 years I knew him. I fucking played Super Tecmo Bowl III with his whole family for like 5 years! COUNTLESS nights talking games, playing fighting games, just chilling.

He's gone now. I can't process it at all. This is as bad as when my dad died.

I love Elden Ring: Nightreign but I have some requests for QoL stuff.

1. Give us a system to combine relics instead of just selling off ones we don't find appealing.

2. Don't lock things like alternate chalice layouts or shop stock exclusively behind Nightlord kills.

3. Duo mode.

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

Look Bloodborne is one of my favorite games ever, right? I'd still like to see Demon's Souls 2 first.

My job, and the people I work with, are very important to me! I want to project that energy all the time. I'm only a very small part of a much larger and far more talented team, and I really want to do the best job I can - not just for me, but for them. I've never been more thankful in my life.

...as many as I can, then doing an analysis on the genre itself. This will be a long-form analysis of the minutiae within each game that make up the total experience of playing it. FOR EXAMPLE, why FromSoft uses the same sound font for all of its souls games (aside from frugality) 2/2

I started my Souls journey with Demon's Souls in 2009 with the NA release, but have been a FromSoft fan for far longer. The first Moonlight Blade I ever found was in the original Armored Core on PS1.

There are SO MANY (soulslikes) now that there are enough for me to spend 2025 playing 1/2

The amount of negativity about video games these days can be a real downer. After learning how the sausage is made, it's obvious how many developers have extreme passion for games and the industry itself.

In the end, AAA or not, the people making a game are a village of passionate people. I relate

Enotria was pretty cool! Very interesting lore and wonderful art design. It felt like there were enough weapons for a game twice its size. I'd definitely play DLC if it came out. Despite its issues I had a fun time.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO5T... i think if your sentinel is sick enough it should start playing this song as soon as you DHC him in. like if i DHCd him in the music wouldn't change but if a sentinel grandmaster did it the game would know and it would react accordingly

Jerry Lawson invented the video game cartridge. He's the reason they stopped making pong consoles in the 1970s. If it weren't for him, the Atari 2600 and many others would literally NEVER exist at all.
