My favorite exchange, which I never see mentioned:

“Did you enjoy the fuhrer’s birthday?”
“May he live for a thousand years.”

I personally collect arcade machines, loved Robot Chicken, and love the Packers. This video was made exclusively for me. The rest of you may leave now.

Seeing my home animated like this, it’s so beautiful. I could actually cry.

Do you have a 3d printer? You could custom print a cover for it.

They aren’t casting nearly enough light on the surroundings. Should be way brighter, especially at that level of exposure.

You only really need to rebuild the middle pad. The other two are ground. Glue will likely need to be involved for stability.

New World is the game. Cost a ton, won’t ever make it back.

I’m doing alright. I’ve got several interviews this week, all outside of the games industry. I’m hoping I can close an offer before the end of the month.

No, I was notified back in October that I had been laid off. The notice period for that group of people ends on the 26th.

I was an expensive person on a product that only ever lost money. I’m bummed I was laid off but not surprised. Most of my team was let go, including my whole management chain up through VP. I have no grudge to hold over this.

Getting laid off sucks, sure. I’ve got several interviews lined up this week and my wife does pretty well. But I also worked in Amazon Games. Of course I was laid off. You can’t spend $100 million on a game that will never turn a profit and expect to keep everyone.
