Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Friends, it has taken me several days to muster the strenght to write this post, and by now you have no doubt heard that our wonderful, beautiful, talented Nick has passed in his sleep this Saturday night. Brave, witty and incredibly funny do not even begin to describe the person he was. 85811
Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 21/12/2025I remember seeing this commercial for the first time and crying. KH2 catches flack but it was amazing when it released. 010
Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Health update: I had one night of sleep but I’m back to not sleeping. My whole body feels weighted and cold and I have a huge hard lump on my arm that they theorize is a swollen lymphoid. They took a flu/corona test and I should know the results tomorrow. I’ll let everyone know the results. 010

Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count” 2945191639
Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Who are my Abbot girlies? I just wrapped season 4 and can’t get over it being in KH 4. Sora parkouring through the streets of PA. Babs being a Fairy who replaces her Biblical talk with talk of Light. Ava gets possessed by Darknes, Janine joins the party where she cast light spells. I just love it. 010

Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 21/11/2025I finished Dexter tonight — as in, I just cleared the last series on top of the two previous series and the prequel — and it’s really been one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve seen. 020

Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Penguins vs Maple Leafs tonight. It feels sacrilegious to go against a Canadian team seeing as how I’ve lived here for five years but I’m rooting for the Penguins tonight. I’m Québecois now and that means I’m legally obligated to root against Toronto. 110
Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Today makes one year of my new lungs and one year of my hospitalization. Let me tell you, a year in the hospital puts a lot of your life into perspective. 1150

Nick Ransbottom @theeziokenway.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Still feels so weird to have been in the hospital for a year. I haven’t even seen my cat for a while year. Haven’t slept in my bed or cuddled with my husband in a year. Had to pass for the first time in years on reviewing NHL for IGN. This shit sucks. 100
