Embodying the same principles, the Sagarmatha [G] Type predates the current Everest pattern by more than a century. It still sees active use in some Union squads. Deployed in record numbers during the Committee Civil War, the Sagarmatha [G] Type is time-honored and battle-tested.

Watched ‘The Ballerina’ as part of our annual Orphans’ Thanksgiving (there’s always fried chicken, champagne, weed and martial arts movies).
It’s wild how a lesser John Wick movie STILL whips this hard. Tight, fun, and adoring of the action genre in general.

Alt: A scene from the movie ‘Ballerina’. Eve, a professional bodyguard, enters a heaving nightclub wearing furs, and lit by blue and pink lights. A lot of people are about to get hurt and it rules.

Watching ‘End of Days’ in this bar, and waxing nostalgic about when movies were allowed to have homeless people in them.

I still have a boy ID. Was really dressed up and out for a night with friends. Handed my ID to the bouncer, who looked at it, looked at me, and muttered “Holy shit” to himself before letting me in.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Games Industry Advice: When your therapist asks if you’ve ever been fired or laid off, you’re not supposed to laugh hysterically. This is, as I’ve learned, a faux pas.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

It’s hard not to feel like life’s a party I showed up late to. The dance floor’s empty, the booze down to the dregs, and everyone else is already in their own circles of strangers, full up on glamorous friends.
Like I spent too long getting ready, and the house lights are about to come up.

Wanted to make games since playing Mechwarrior 2. Graduated in 2009, directly into the crash. Had a design job offer at EA that was rescinded (layoffs).
3 years of applying for games jobs, doing game jams, going to the GDC, and moving twice. Clawed my way in as a community manager.

Trump, 5 minutes after meeting me: “GW, they dropped the ball with Ferrus and Fulgrim, always said it. Should’ve written them as lovers. It’d add layers, big layers of meaning to them. Some people, small people, say they’re brothers it’s gross. I say, it’s a gross universe. Supposed to be gross.”

It’s Trans Day of Remembrance and I don’t have the heart for how depressing it is. Instead, have @f1nn5ter.com, genderfluid Twitch Streamer and OnlyFans star, using their porn money to fund access to gender affirming care.

Oh, we don’t need immigration to fix our demographics. We can just do natalism, a policy aim no country in the world has been able to achieve, and in only 18 years that will fix it
