Formerly in the games business, but we all know how that goes Married to a smoke show, father to a haunted child

CW: death, cancer When I was 17 my dad died after an on/off battle with brain cancer. That was 17 years ago today, so that means at this point I’ve reached the halfway point of my life without him. He wasn’t a perfect dad, and dealing with that and grappling with that is something I’m

still working on and probably will for the rest of my life. But he never got to see my graduate from high school or college, get married or meet my kid. He met Jess once before he died, so he never got to know her, or she him. And having a kid now all that is even harder.

I’m a huge mark for One Piece and when I played Fortnite it was the #1 collab I wanted. But fuck Epic, fuck Tim Sweeney, and fuck Fortnite. Don’t give them a cent.

reported on something that was really difficult for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons in a lot of different ways.

Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755

Threw a medieval themed party for Jess’ birthday and she sniped a picture of me serving mead to someone in the bar area we dubbed ‘Cog’s Well’ Good night. Good friends.

If you vague posted about this an hour before a woman shared it therefore giving you ‘permission’ to actually talk about it, fuck off.

It’s wild that we went from arguably the most accessible Fire Emblem with Three Houses to the most dense, Proper Noun filled nonsense in Fortune’s Weave. If any game needed a glossary, it’s this one. What the fuck is anyone talking about.

It’s so cool that when you read an email in Outlook, sometimes it won’t be mark as read so you have to do it manually. Microsoft are truly always thinking towards the future. Hopefully in the next update I’ll have to manually check for emails instead of them automatically being delivered.

Andrew W.K. is back. On ‘Temptation To Exist,’ which hit streaming with no advance notice or promotion, the hard-partying enigma returns to the realm of jazz. He’s dabbled in the genre before, but this one’s a collection of lush, cinematic, full-band instrumentals. 👉 stereogum.com/2509663/andr...

Seventeen years ago I asked @jessicogs.bsky.social to go mini golfing with me. Since then we’ve had two dogs, two cats, a kid, moved across the country twice, and kissed each other a whole bunch. This anniversary means we’ve officially been together half my life and it’s been pretty great.

The kid at 3:30 this morning: can it be time to get up? Me: absolutely not

Most of the time being a parent is the coolest thing ever and considerably easier than I anticipated because I have the best kid in the world. Other times, I’m awake from 3:30-6:00 AM because my four-year-old had a nightmare about The Minions
