I don't know if cathartic is the right word, but watching/listening to Jeff and Dan talkin' shop together for a couple hours just feels right.

I mentioned Ben Starr on my stream yesterday and this lowres picture YouTube autofilled into the description is killing me. He looks like I just grabbed him off the street. Poor guy he's trying to get home

Classic Marathon on Steam From the team that brought you Aleph One, the classic sci-fi FPS Marathon from Bungie on Mac revived for modern hardware by the fan community.

Hahah my mentions are full about Marathon. I really appreciate that folks think of me when they see it. Sorry everyone, I'm not in it. What I will say is, the Marathon games are all free via excellent ports that are even on Steam now.

Insanely yours,
Gianni

We live in dire times.
