Democrats "Try To Do More Than A Strongly-Written Letter" Challenge (Level: Impossible)

Not the GZLR clan tag 😭

I'm gonna be completely real, the next video might take a bit to put out. Mental health is sharply declining right now and I need to take some time to get myself together. Recent events in the US are absolutely not helping things right now...

John Boyega from the side

Can confirm: John Boyega is a chill dude #FanExpoBoston

Welp, I can at least say I was in the same room as John Cena, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi today! They didn't let crew meet them though, which kind of stinks. I get why but it's still unfortunate :/ #FanExpoBoston

I met Joker Persona 5

Me standing in front of the autograph table for Troy Baker. The table is empty, as the joke was the fact he wasn't there.

Got to see Troy Baker today!

Working on checking in exhibitors for Fan Expo Boston, and two birds just flew into the loading dock.

Mfs ain't even got badges, smh

Hmm... it's almost as if we should have regulations in place to make sure those with diagnosed mental illnesses don't carry firearms...

Nah never mind, that would be too "liberal" and "woke."

Not sure if anyone who follows me goes to this, but I will be working Fan Expo Boston this year! Catch me wrangling together the madness that is the main theater line!

Just out of curiosity, you mentioned individuals "not going to either." Would there be opportunities in store for creators not attending these events? I only ask because I don't want to just submit a survey and waste people's time 😅

stop coming to the US

take your families and tourist dollars to other countries that welcome visitors

I had no clue that was a thing that could happen! It's like finding a shiny Pokemon!

As someone who just got into writing for a site, this is a game changer for me. I will absolutely be keeping this advice somewhere to refer to.

Getting some major FOMO from everyone going to Gamescom this year. Seems like it's setting up to be HUGE this year!

Hope everyone has fun! :D I'll be co-streaming the event as usual on YouTube/Twitch, so feel free to join me if you are also part of the FOMO Squad!

This would be cool if it's real. I don't know if I'd buy it since I played most of the NSMB games already, but still cool that they would all be on Switch.

Can I claim asylum to get into Canada yet? I didn't sign up for this shit.

We should consider holding GDC and PAX in Canada because of this tbh

Ayyy fellow August 3rd birthday!! Hap birth :D

Yoooo sick place! Looks super cozy!

This isn't to say that I am not thankful for my friends, family, and colleagues who all wished me a happy birthday, just that it goes to show that external circumstances can still impact you on a personal level.

Being open about what ails us is the first step to helping each other, imo

Imma be completely honest, it was hard to be happy for my birthday this year. Really hoping things in America improve in terms of leadership and people being able to find jobs by my next birthday.

I tried to not let it bother me that much, but it just couldn't be helped. :/

Grabbed some retro games for the collection on my birthday trip! Now I just need to find DMC 1 and 2...

Well THIS was a nice surprise to come home to! My community, while small, is absolutely amazing and I love you all ♥

This is a fucked up birthday present for Nintendo to raise the prices on all their hardware and accessories.

Anyone else have the problem of the site saying "Code already used" despite not using the code at all?

Since it's my birthday, I think this means I have to give you a gift, so here is a video about game conventions!

Oh shit I'm 25 now.

Neat.

I don't think I've done that, but closing and reopening Resolve seemed to fix things!
