This is my favourite Miyamoto fact tbh it makes me laugh every time I think about it. But at the same time it's just so wholesome.

I got to spend some time with a lot of the people I love most attending some weddings. Just flying back to my place now and then it's back to business! I feel so fortunate and I'm happy for everyone's happiness.

I've been quiet but things have been really, really good. Absolutely loving my new job (the people are sooooo cool and the work is super interesting), been studying a lot, playing a lot of games, spending a lot of quality time with my family this year, have made some new friends this year too.
