I remember when we were doing digital comic coloring in 92 or 93 and we had a 1g external scsi drive that I think cost close to 2k when we bought it.

After ruining a fair amount of my hearing in my 20s at noise shows I invested a lot of money in good earplugs. So mostly it was just waves of gut numbing low end. Which was also glorious.

Oh man, its a constant struggle.

Fail Forward has been a core component of everything we have worked on since Mordor. If you cant make failure interesting and something players actively look for you are missing a ton of very rewarding gameplay loops.

Realizing that Haunted Horses is opening for Author & Punisher. And oh man. If you don't know them they are a Seattle based industrial / post punk / No Wave band. A Venn diagram of Medicine, early Sonic Youth/ Swans and Einstürzende Neubauten. If any of that sounds cool. its because it very much is.

we could use the weekly watch party set up by @reedg.bsky.social to just play through an hour of each one for you. [actually serious]

And this dive bar is why dad has a large scare on his upper lip towards his nose. This polish house is where dad broke his first bone. And finally this back room of a laundrymat is where dads tinnitus first emerged.

I wasnt able to make it out to the Seattle show (it wasnt well publicized) but I have watched a lot of the bootlegs. It looked dope as fuck.

Artwork for - Reality Fracture- This commission was a special pleasure.Everything about it appealed to me: a dramatic structure worthy of Shakespeare and another opportunity to delve into my favorite influences.I drew particular inspiration from Bernini’s sculptures. Thank you AD Z. Stella. #mtg

and then Francis just showing up again aand again (with more focus every time) for this open. Its a bummer he isnt in the Zverev side of the draw and he and Ben have to play.

Matthew Allen @mtallen.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I was selling a coworker on watching this open, they hadn't followed since federer / nadal. After brackets I pushed this match assuming it would be Carlos and Ben. Late night included, I dont think there is a better match to watch to understand modern tennis. Also watch it with a tennis player.

you guys didnt let me make a pink lightsaber! Final Assault crew:

A screenshot of my final assault crew in Star Wars: Zero Company. Looking a bit like an emo band after an all night bender at Hot Topic. All 4 members have full black armor and clothing except for a small item as colored hot pink. All of their weapons are bright pink, except for my Jedi lightsaber, which is light saber cooler because lucasarts is afraid of pink lightsabers.

I'll see if I can take a screen shot when I am back at my computer, I lost Trick in the first coil encounter, but didn't lose any other named characters. I had full bonds with Kabb, Jae, Tel and a random rolled heavy. Final assault was with Jae, Tel, and the heavy. My Hawks was a 200hp heavy medic.

I dont think its doing well enough for me to be optimistic about getting either in the current environment, not to mention all the weird going on with Bit Reactor, and I am sure Respawn haas their own priorities All of the systems are truly set up for a very long tail, and a very rabid fanbase
