Having started my role at Age of Empires last week, I’ve spent the weekend thinking about how much things have changed for me both professionally and personally over the last two and a half years. (1)

Side by side, hand in hand, we all enjoy #FanArtFriday together! And what a pair from Twitter/X today: Banjo and '80s glam Kazooie from JuJuBee2008 and a peaceful @seaofthieves.com pair by the prolific hasmoq. Right, done, off you hop!

As you may have seen, it is almost time for me to hang up my social media jacket at Rare. It has been a brilliant two and a half years. I'm excited to share what's next for me after I depart this June. Xbox Game Studios hasn't seen the last of me 👀

The Cardinals say that effective tonight, the bleachers in right above the home bullpen will be a permanent “dedicated high-energy fan section,” which reads as something akin to a student section. “Shirts optional,” they say.

Happy 8th Anniversary of #SeaOfThieves! 💚 Here's to many many more, at least to reach the big ten! And a heartfelt Community Weekend :D #Pixelart #Aseprite #art #ドット絵 #BeMorePirate

A large pixel-art piece using primarily teal green colours and blue. The scene shows a gloomy environment with shipwrecked masts in the ground on the left, wedged by the waterfall, and on the right are various derelict stone fortresses and a lighthouse tower atop, bearing various flags. A lone sailor stands on the edge of the stone wall in the foreground. The main focus of the picture is the large portal in the water ahead, showing a bright clear sunny sky on the other side, the sun reflecting off the clear blue water. Text in the upper right, next to the flag, reads "Happy 8 Years!".
