Another year, another @desertbus.org. Can't believe it's already been 20 years of this madness! Feels like yesterday in my college dorm back in 2006 after discovering LRR and witnessing the first event in 2007. Incredibly proud of what they've accomplished for the kids <3

Holy shit, the Coco land in Kingdom Hearts 4 looks incredible!

I think Sadie Sink was brilliant casting for [REDACTED] in Brand New Day. Really enjoyed the movie and can't wait to see what's next!

GG #G2! What an incredible game!!!

This G2 vs T1 game 4 is actually insane. It's honestly crazy seeing G2 finally going toe to toe with T1. They're honestly looking so strong. #MSI

Huge thanks to these 3 lads @argick.bsky.social @gtace.bsky.social @huds601.co.uk for being on comms. Hope y'all enjoyed the run! Aside from last year's opener, this is my favorite GDQ run I've ever done. Thank you all for the love and support, especially @gamesdonequick.com for accepting the run!

So glad I took an extra week off for my summer vacation. Uninterrupted #SGDQ, aw yissss. GL to all the runners!

Samira and Lux coming to #2XKO lez goooooo!

Congrats to Hikari!! The first #2XKO #EVO champion! What an insane set. He gets the reset, AND has to deal w/ Sonic and Inzem's zoning. Goddamn!

This is the kind of nightmare that keeps me up at night when I think of applying AI in development pipelines in Enterprise Tech at Riot, especially when you're accessing sensitive data that requires governance. www.reddit.com/r/codex/comm...

GGs Knicks! **awaits crazy New York celebration clips**

Just fucking reeling from so many announcements from games - old and new - that I've been anticipating for years. It's honestly hard to absorb it all. FF7R Part 3 RE:V Remake KH4 Pokopia DLC StarFox Remake demo Zelda OoT Remake Persona 6 P4:R Just insane, and that's not even all of it!

Looks like my birth month of September is going to be a nonstop gaming extravaganza. TOO MANY GAMES!

Well, I guess that answers my question - GW3 will be Buy-to-Play. Feels like F2P it’s all but necessary these days, but may this not be riddled with predatory microtransactions due to its boxed price. www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/s...

Pretty crazy to see sequels to both Guild Wars and Aion. Even more curious about their subscription or monetization will be. Art style seems like quite the departure from GW2, but looks fun!

Following up with part 3…. I can’t even process it.

I can’t fucking believe Tifa is on SF6 - let’s. fucking. GO!!!!!

Heartbreaking news at Riot - the 2XKO team are an amazing group of designers. I hope those that do not find other positions at Riot have the chance to bring their light and talent to new projects, and new teams that will be lucky to have them.

Returning to WoW after 6 years is equally overwhelming as it is familiar.

Well, it finally happened. Haven't played WoW in... how many years? 6? On the off chance, maybe Arthas will finally drop me Invincible. First try on my 2nd day back and it finally does!

Sleep apnea sucks, folks. ._. ZzzzZzz

It's my 11th Anniversary at Riot Games! What a wild ride it's been. We've come such a long way since were just Riot Game <3

Last day before our return to work and, as always, not enough on the checklist got done. But! Rounding out the break with Avatar 3, Stranger Things 5, and Wicked For Good was a nice way to close it out. Now it's planning, some light gaming, and the mindset shift back to work.

It’s surreal closing the Stranger Things chapter of my life. What a journey - this story has been such a core memory for my adult life and is tough to have it come to an end. Congrats to the entire crew and cast, and I only wish the best for all who gave us such an amazing show.

Gosh, I can't believe it's been 30 years. I still remember around this time in 1998 hoping that Red would be under the tree - and it was. All these years later I still adore these games, even though they have yet to truly realize its potential in gaming. Perhaps Gen 10? Heres to another 30 years!

Checking Crono Trigger off the list - what an amazing game that still holds up all these years later. This game and FF6 really did pioneer so much of the modern RPG experience. And that music... so good. 10/10

Christmas is complete - I wish the lead up didn't make me feel so anxious. Christmas vibes are the best, but I have a really hard time relaxing until it's over.

Official on winter break from Riot, and I have more goals than I have time for. So naturally, I'm starting with my gaming backlog. - Finish Hades II Epilogue - Finish up Dune Awakening - Finally experience Crono Trigger - Finish TFT Lore & Legends quest (all unlocks, top 4) - MH Wilds DLC - JWE 3

Yuletide greetings from all of us at Supergiant!🎄🌨️ We invite you to bask in the warmth and magick of Hecate's Yule Log cauldron, just in time for any seasonal festivities. Thank you for playing Hades II!🌖 www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMh0...

I love this so much!

"You there! What night is it?" "Why, it's The Game Awards, sir!" "The Game Awards?! Glorious! There’s still time to repent… and to pretend I played more than 2 of the GOTY nominees!"

No spoilers for #StrangerThings but - YASSS And also NOOOO! Why did they have to break this up in such a janky way! Part 1 isn’t enough!

It’s Stranger Things time!!!! AHHHHH!

Okay, hear me out. Revive Anthem, but as an extraction survival game, similar to its original concept. (I swear, this game came out a few years too early but could have been AMAZING if left in the oven and the gameplay loop changed)

Best news of the day: Brenden Fraser confirming his return to The Mummy. (Please don't suck, please don't suck)

Here's my annual reminder that my favorite charity event has begun! Join in! @desertbus.org alongside @loadingreadyrun.com and friends near and far put on an amazing show to raise money for @childsplaycharity.bsky.social, bringing hospitalized children some joy through the power of gaming. <3 <3

This year's Worlds already delivering. Seeing Mundo going where he pleases gives me joy.

Today has been great - a little hope restored with the voting results AND Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser are returning to work on a new Mummy sequel. Yussss!

I can't think of a single major buyout of an established AAA gaming company resulting in better conditions for gaming communities and consumers. How can we prevent these communities from being upended and exploited by major corporations?

In other news, Silent Hill f was actually fantastic. For me, it was helpful to experience this story. There's a lot of beautifully horrific allegory to chew on, and it feels like they broached these subjects thoughtfully and with passion.

Never thought that news about Starbucks shutting down would make any difference to me, but in the past two years I became a regular at the cafe near me, which is closing down. I'll miss those baristas - was nice to see them most days, and was a way to get away from the computer. I'll miss them.

Wow, Canyon going crazy on Skarner at the end of match 4! Was that a 1v4??? We goin' to game 5! #LCKPlayoffs #LeagueOfLegends

The @2xko.riotgames.com team has really killed it - it's been awesome seeing more people jump in the game and see how far its come. This is the first "traditional" fighting game for me, and it's been a blast.

I cannot overstate how excited I am for Hades II version 1 release!! Top 10 games of all time for me - I've been holding off for full release and now it's right around the corner. 😍
