the writing has been genuinely charming in a way that i was not expecting from the Quake II engine. the writer's currently a lead on the God of War series, which is just kinda interesting.

saying goodbye to this work notebook i started on 4 jan 2021, & starting a new one.

a weathered, wine-dark notebook, with a "Friend Camp" sticker on the cover.

first page of the notebook, reading "Let's see how this goes..." and dated Jan 4, 2021

The last page of the notebook, reading "Thanks for that!" and dated 13 Aug 2026. Because of my poor handwriting, I suppose it could be read as "Thanks for Hat!" which is also, in its own way, true.

a new, spiral-bound notebook, with KO_OP's mascot ini featured in a variety of fun, summertime poses.
