21 years ago we had stillborn twins. It still hurts. I cannot express in words the loathing I feel about these men. To suggest people would cash in on such excruciating loss says everything you need to know about these “moral conservatives.” Arseholes. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

feeling all my feelings today so I can be completely unburdened tomorrow, that’s definitely how things work

Caption: Heart dispatch! You've been warned!
Ten years ago Mike had an idea for a game he wanted to make, and that game's coming out tomorrow. I joined him six years into that journey, and l've watched him transform and bloom into the artist he was always meant to be, despite mostly working as a programmer in the past. I remember thinking in my job interview that this guy was an artist, and if I was going to leave games then I might as well make my last one with someone who Gets It.
Working beside him has been the best job l've ever had.
I've never felt so respected, so inspired, and so seen.
He brought out the best in me, and in himself. We fell in love making this game, and it's because of him that I learned that art and love are built the same way:

We fell in love making this game, and it's because of him that I learned that art and love are built the same way: through revision, persistence, and the courage to begin again.
The idea became the work, the work became art, the art became love, and then the circle closed: the process itself became an act of devotion. Each small task a quiet exercise in loving each other, and each fragment on the cutting room floor a reminder of what really mattered to us. At the risk of being gauche and revealing the subtext: as the game took shape, so did we. (Heart emoji)

Watching Mike grow through this and get to the finishing line has been among the greatest privileges of my life. Thank you, my love, for building this world with me, both the one inside the computer and the one all around it. I'm so grateful for your talent, your taste, your patience (!!), your perseverance, your brilliance, and your grace. I am so proud of who you are, and so lucky to walk through this life beside you. (How about down an aisle sometime soon?)
I love you,
completely, endlessly, always. (3 heart emojis)
