Red Tower done. Big Walk continues to rule. Also, thank goodness for the infrared item finder. It’s a terrific contingency plan for “dad, I accidentally threw the red thing” while trekikkng through dense woods.

Well, it happened again. The entire editorial team at Restart, myself included, was laid off today. With that, my time in games media has also come to an end. After 20 years, helping to build and run multiple sites, and experiencing numerous layoffs, I just don’t have it in me anymore.

Everyone at Restart was let go today, so another layoff for me in the span of a month. Editors, I'll be at PAX West and I'm looking to fill my schedule with (paid) opportunities.

After a cardiologist appointment, the doctor informed me I was fine by instructing me to "call your wife and tell her to go on lunch break before you get home, you can work up a sweat no problem." Unfortunately, "I was prescribed sexy time, doctor's orders" didn't work on her 😂

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

I know GTA is a monolith, but man i hope Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, or others don’t get any ideas from “hiding a Direct-style presentation behind a streaming service’s paywall.”
