Honestly this week has sucked. But this happened this morning and so it's better now.

2 years ago today, we closed on our house. April 1st remains the wildest day to wire $20,000 to some random place while at your bank, but uh, still have a house so...

Just gotta keep reminding myself that a 6am flight on the daylight savings switch was worth saving $150. 😂🤪

Swords but make it work or something. I leave for GDC tomorrow, so if you're headed to SF, let's catch up!

GDC is in a couple weeks. I'll be around! Come say hi? Would love to hear about what people are up to, and catch up over some tea or lunch.

How it started vs. How it's going. For those that were following along, I got a vasectomy in November. The procedure was simple, and is a safe and easy form of male birth control...

POV: I'm either about to fight you with a sword (fencing) or you're about to lay me off. A core memory I made for myself was wearing my Renaissance hat before my exit call with Riot to "lighten the mood" xD

Emmanuel Lagumbay @emmandabomb.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Not much out there makes you feel more alone than realizing tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of your layoff, where you were found not important enough to keep. I wanted to make a larger post about it, but I'll just say this: thank you to those that have stuck around.

I just want the world to know that I shaved a little facial hair off yesterday morning, and had to shave it back off again this morning. And it only took 33.9 years for that to happen.

Dispatch was such a damn good experience. So respectful of your time as a player and perfect for where I'm at in life as a person wanting a fun interactive story to play through but with limited time to do it. A 10/10 for me - and a call to the industry to make more games like this. Will play again

MAGFest roll call! Who am I seeing at this year's Music and Gaming Festival? Looking back, I haven't been in 7 years, so I'm stoked. Also, my birthday falls on that Sunday, so I'm excited to be partying it up with the community.

Rolled credits on my first playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. My word, what a fun time, choom.

Please admire this little princess looking like her Lola she never got to meet. I think they would have gotten along fine.

It's Christmas and we rolled credits on Alan Wake 2. What a wild ride xD

I started HEMA like 3 years ago now, going on 4. I realize I haven't taken a photo of my sword collection in awhile so uh, here are swords I fight/cut with.

Awhile ago, I mentioned I was going to share some behind-the-scenes on the sound design I did for GW2. This was a video I shared during the recent Extra Life event. Here, I talk about the sound design for two of the elite specializations, the Evoker, and the Amalgam! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF4b...

So uh, looks like I'll be headed to MAGFest for the first time since before the pandemic. And that Sunday falls on my birthday this year, so....party?

Emmanuel Lagumbay @emmandabomb.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

I'm actually on my way up to Bellevue tomorrow to join the team for this, and some other stuff over the next week! The audio team's segment will be starting at 10pm, and I'll also be sharing some BTS video then :) If you want to catch me while I'm north, hit me up! I'll be in town until Wednesday.

Got a vasectomy today! Threw a Halloween party that simultaneously celebrated it last week with some friends. Procedure went well, and I'm beginning my recovery process. It's absolutely insane and honestly pretty fucked up how easy this birth control is for men.

I'd like to congratulate every studio that has cleared the safe zone to release their game outside of November 2026. Simultaneously, godspeed and good luck to my friends and colleagues wrapping up GTA 6 😂

Happy launch day!!! Sad to be missing the big day with players while out at GameSoundCon, but stoked for them to be experiencing Castora and all the new content. I'm hoping to post some BTS on the sound design I got to work on over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out :)

Time to officially introduce the latest member of the household. Meet Coda Decima Miss Mash Brooklyn Lageager the First. Or, Coda. We fostered her for almost two weeks now, and she grew on us quickly. Coda is currently a year and 2 months old, and yes, she's getting along with the kittens so far.

After nearly a week, these two already seem inseparable.

Meet Octavia, aka Tav, aka Vivi. 12 week old kitten. We just picked her up from our local shelter yesterday, and are excited for her to join our family. She has been super sweet, and her and Dorian already seem to be getting along fine.

I know it's a low bar, but is it crazy to try to not be such a piece of shit that the world is excitedly waiting for you to die? :)

The @guildwars2.com community remains one of my favorites. Got to meet and hang out with the players! I even got to meet some folks I've been raiding with for the last year, in-person, for the first time. I wish I took even more pictures.

Maybe it's time to retire now 😂. Ty for the sound shoutout, @laranity.bsky.social ! Between Evoker, Amalgam, and Luminary - I felt I got to pour a lot into this release. The trust and feedback from the audio team is so appreciated and helpful. Excited to hear more from this beta :)
