Ran point on our involvement at the West Hollywood Pride Parade, with strong rep from Santa Monica Studio, Naughty Dog, and Insomniac. So exhausted lol but real proud of these teams and all we stand up for.

Today is 5 years since Jake died. Feels incomprehensible sometimes, and there's points you can't bear the way each day there's more space from a world that held his voice, that there's less of the world that remembers him. But I think that's where holding on matters the most

this moment in KH really hit me as a kid and I feel like the more life I live the more I think back to it. Especially leaving a place or a person for a long time. "you know... I'm sad"

Milk Bar Pie was the first bake I ever really did: an on-a-whim weekend impulse from me and Jake to try baking something we saw on a show and bringing it into work. Now years deep into my baking persona, and close to 5 years without my baking partner, it's nice to make it again and bring it in <3

Not to be shirtless on main but I am feeling somewhat proud of myself as the last few months I've been really trying to build a truly consistent weekly workout and diet routine and despite the daily 6:30am wake-ups I feel really nice about the progress I've made 😊

it's kind of fun that there's now basically a whole subgenre of game dev twitter ongoing for years which is just Sandy Petersen making a claim about the development of Doom and John Romero going "hello Sandy, incorrect", over and over again

Audible has this whole series of like... 25ish different ab workout types, ranging from 5 minutes to like a half hour, and with different sub-groups you can target. I use it a lot and will do a couple different ones back-to-back usually

Yesterday me and my friends months of playing WoW Hardcore came to an end when our characters (whose names together formed an anagram of "Tom Holland") died. And saw today we spun up new Undead characters named Kirsten and Dunstable and started a-fresh

Finished Veilguard last night. Some things I liked more, some less than past games but I think it's the single best finale and ending any Bioware game has had. Relationships feel valuable, choices matter, time spent in side quests carries real weight. Great game all around.

The final scene of All of Us Strangers has popped into my mind this week and god damn I can't not cry watching it. Just an all time great film, one of the best stories about loss and longing. (warning, it's from the end of the film, a little spoiler context below)
