My stint as an IGN freelancer was incredibly brief, but Seth Macy was an invaluable resource to me & many others who did that work over the years. And somewhere around here, I'm sure I still have a Punch Nazis pin that he gave me at PAX East one year. Love to everyone impacted.

I think the wildest thing about the PlayStation Kojima news is that this was the thing they did that whole spectacle drone shot that zoomed out to the Columbia pictures lot. I'll be curious- when the dust settles-to see if this was more about Sony wanting to cut ties on the movie/tv side.

I saw some headline or thumbnail that suggested Asha Sharma was playing coy on the notion of whether Elder Scrolls 6 would release on PlayStation and my first thought was "pssshhh, you won't still have that job when that game finally comes out."

The new Coco tease for Kingdom Hearts IV last night has left me thinking of my friend Brian "Nabeshin" Jackson, who we sadly lost a few years back. He loved KH and his old twitter account still has the somber, but dark comedy-infused pinned tweet "I died before Kingdom Hearts 4 came out."

Flying out of town for a work conference tomorrow so I won't get to see the big new movie until after I'm back next weekend. Gonna be curious just how quickly all sorts of spoilers flood the internet before I can see it. (Glad that stuff being spoiled doesn't generally ruin a thing for me)

Caught the limited engagement of the Hadestown film today. It took me a while to warm up to the soundtrack when I first listened. And I've only seen the show live once. The pro-shot recording was so good and gave me so many extra details and nuance that I'd missed. Absolutely beautifully done.

Being an adult today meant realizing I still had vacation days to book over the rest of the year and, since I'm not planning any trips, I just looked at game releases and said, "yeah I'll take a couple days off work...there and... there."

After crunching some numbers, I sadly decided I have to forego trying for Kinda Funny tickets today when they go on sale. San Francisco has just become too expensive. But I hope those that DO go have the same sort of experience and friendships that old KFLs gave me & many others. 💙

Saw the news last night before going to sleep. The only thing I'll miss is Seth Meyers impression. Lindsey Graham exemplified cowardice and political blustering. I can imagine many lives that will be better with him gone. And the few lives that were better with him alive are also shitty people.

As someone who has never cared too much about graphical fidelity and stuff, I don't know what a Steam Machine would even do for me. Baldur's Gate 3 PC mods is pretty much all that comes to mind and that just ain't worth the price of admission.
