How it started vs. How it's going.
For those that were following along, I got a vasectomy in November. The procedure was simple, and is a safe and easy form of male birth control...

POV: I'm either about to fight you with a sword (fencing) or you're about to lay me off.
A core memory I made for myself was wearing my Renaissance hat before my exit call with Riot to "lighten the mood" xD

Not much out there makes you feel more alone than realizing tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of your layoff, where you were found not important enough to keep.
I wanted to make a larger post about it, but I'll just say this: thank you to those that have stuck around.

I just want the world to know that I shaved a little facial hair off yesterday morning, and had to shave it back off again this morning.
And it only took 33.9 years for that to happen.

Dispatch was such a damn good experience. So respectful of your time as a player and perfect for where I'm at in life as a person wanting a fun interactive story to play through but with limited time to do it.
A 10/10 for me - and a call to the industry to make more games like this. Will play again

MAGFest roll call! Who am I seeing at this year's Music and Gaming Festival?
Looking back, I haven't been in 7 years, so I'm stoked. Also, my birthday falls on that Sunday, so I'm excited to be partying it up with the community.

I started HEMA like 3 years ago now, going on 4. I realize I haven't taken a photo of my sword collection in awhile so uh, here are swords I fight/cut with.

Awhile ago, I mentioned I was going to share some behind-the-scenes on the sound design I did for GW2. This was a video I shared during the recent Extra Life event. Here, I talk about the sound design for two of the elite specializations, the Evoker, and the Amalgam! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF4b...

Got a vasectomy today!
Threw a Halloween party that simultaneously celebrated it last week with some friends.
Procedure went well, and I'm beginning my recovery process. It's absolutely insane and honestly pretty fucked up how easy this birth control is for men.

I'd like to congratulate every studio that has cleared the safe zone to release their game outside of November 2026.
Simultaneously, godspeed and good luck to my friends and colleagues wrapping up GTA 6 😂
