Estoy contenta con nuestra ofrenda del DΓ­a de los Muertos este aΓ±o. Faltan mΓ‘s recuerdos por aΓ±adir, mΓ‘s familia por incluir, pero se ve hermosa.

"Disrupting the Game" by Reggie Fils-AimΓ© is by far one of my favorite memoirs! Great audiobook, read by him! www.goodreads.com/book/show/58...

"Doom Guy" by @johnromero.bsky.social is also one of my favorites, also read by the author! Highly recommend both www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

The cover of DOOM GUY: LIFE IN FIRST PERSON

Doom Guy was easily one of my favourite books of 2023.

VERY highly recommended, especially if you enjoyed Masters of Doom. Also, check out the audiobook from @johnromero.bsky.social

I see Grind is even faster. Maybe it WAS Grind. Soooo smooth.

I was happy with how this custom jacket turned out. It definitely fits the rip-and-tear vibe, though that wasn't even intentional.

As it turns out, there is no way to remediate this, as everyone involved in the creation of that advert has grown.
