Devastated. Outside of consistently hearing him be very pro-player and anti-shitty corporate practices I can’t speak to Vince professionally, but personally he was such a down to earth, funny, warm person. The industry already feels far less bright without him.

As a bonus, it’s also fun to play and has a great story

I remember when people were shitting on Alan Wake 2 right when it came out because they were mad it wasn't on Steam and were like "oh this is gonna suck, it's a failure, it's garbage" and I was like "nah, this is amazing" and someone was like "why are you dying on this hill?"

The Garry’s Mod addon “Wire” led me from logic gates to scripting in their bespoke language, Expression 2 (E2)
Then, a server owner I wanted to impress taught me Lua after we initially bonded over E2

Dear Game Developers,
Let me fast travel while airborne.
If the punishment for death is a loading screen and fast travel is a loading screen, there's no reason to restrict it while I'm falling to my death.
If I'm not falling to my death, why make me wait 0.2 seconds to land?
Sincerely,
Everyone

Every once in a while someone will say they liked something I made and I’m so shocked and flattered every time. I just quietly assumed the user numbers had no relationship to real people
I got a real actual piece of "fan mail" recently. Someone who played & enjoyed the 3rd and 4th games I worked on when they were a kid.
It felt so good. 🥰
To some degree now, but moreso in 2k, we game devs sent these things out into the world and aside from reviews, there was just silence.

Outer Worlds 2 is really fun. I just got a flaw and a perk that together will radically change how I play.

It's what I switched to from Windows 11 and it's been pretty plug-and-play with playing games. Little bit of a learning curve just because it's an all new OS, but I've stuck with it
