"Disrupting the Game" by Reggie Fils-Aimé is by far one of my favorite memoirs! Great audiobook, read by him! www.goodreads.com/book/show/58...

"Doom Guy" by @johnromero.bsky.social is also one of my favorites, also read by the author! Highly recommend both www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

Doom Guy was easily one of my favourite books of 2023.

VERY highly recommended, especially if you enjoyed Masters of Doom. Also, check out the audiobook from @johnromero.bsky.social

I see Grind is even faster. Maybe it WAS Grind. Soooo smooth.

I was happy with how this custom jacket turned out. It definitely fits the rip-and-tear vibe, though that wasn't even intentional.
