Like a broken record--I'll get a TV, watch a few YouTube videos where people flawlessly install their wall mounts, then go "Hey, yeah, I can do that myself!"

Two hours later I've got four mounting screws half-stuck in the wall, nothing is level, and I'm covered in dust screaming.

I bought a customized iPod with SSD storage and a new battery and it’s been incredible. It’s a surprisingly large community keeping them alive!

Oh man I was a designer on the iPod version of Monopoly so this is wild to see! The click wheel was an amazing input for scrolling around the game board—I wish more folks had gotten to experience it.

We're collecting all of my novellas into a single gorgeous hardcover omnibus to celebrate Armello's ten-year anniversary!

And as an added bonus, I also wrote a new 150+ page tale: THE BANDIT CLAN!

Thank you so much, Nosh! Being able to work with you and the amazing cast has been an absolute privilege, and now I also get to experience my colleagues' tales purely as a fan :)

We'll most certainly catch up at some point!

Today was my last day at ArenaNet, but new adventures await! It's been an absolutely incredible 8 years, and I couldn't be more excited by what this team is building.

I'll be taking a short break in September, but if you're coming to PAX, be sure to say hello at the Sunsgrove Studios booth, #662!

How did I not know THE Howard Phillips wrote a book about his experiences at Nintendo... and it's styled like the world's longest issue of Nintendo Power Magazine??

I guess it's digital only, but MAN this would be a gorgeous physical volume: www.kickstarter.com/projects/437...

I’ve made it to San Diego! Just exploring the area at the moment, but if anyone’s got an extra Comic Con pass I’d love to head to the show floor to say hi to some folks!

Roberta is one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic folks in adventure games, and her love for the craft and developers both old and new helped make me and the Sunsgrove Studios team feel right at home in the community.

There's a GoFundMe to help!

I'll be swinging into San Diego next Friday for a SDCC-adjacent gathering, but if anyone here has an extra Friday pass burning a hole in their pocket, I'd love a chance to walk around the show floor to say hi to folks!

Just backed this myself! @jscoble.bsky.social always delivers the goods!

And honestly, you can't pitch a book as "The Thing Meets Unforgiven" and NOT get my money.

Moved into the new house and the global cat distribution system saw I needed some new friends, so apparently we have two of the cutest cats ever just living on our back porch now.
