Aaaaand ten years at @Naughty_Dog officially today. SO WEIRD.

Six shipped games, and a lot of incredible memories. Super proud to be here with such talented people, and mad excited for what's still to come.

A contemptible race to the bottom that will only end in unnecessary suffering for some of the most vulnerable among us. Defenseless and horrifying.

@nattyferg_ I dunno about this take, man. Like - we can rag on democrats all we want, but 50% of the country voted for the racist treasonous felon sex offender.

I don't post a lot of photos of myself but I also rarely am this dressed up, so deal with it

If you're escaping Twitter I'm over @neilan.bsky.social

This level is going to be the death of me.

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

It's the reason I applied at Naughty Dog, which more or less changed the course of the rest of my life. Happy birthday, Uncharted 2!

15 years ago UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves was released on PlayStation 3.

Whether your favorite moment was climbing up a derailed train, fighting a helicopter in Nepal, or defending a mountain village from a tank, we hope you had a blast with this adventure. 🚂🚁🏔

@LudwigK Actually it's Barthelona

Buncha dorks up in here

@lakerk @JPVNaicker @sievish @bioware Good chance I play this after though. 😅

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

It took me ten years but I finished Dragon Age: Inquisition and all its DLC (with a lot of prodding by @JPVNaicker and @sievish) and I don't really know why it took me so long. It's a solid reminder of why I was a huge @bioware fan, and has me mad excited for The Veilguard.

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

@lakerk @JPVNaicker @sievish @bioware ... for Veilguard!

😭

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

Fundamentally negating the way blocking works should be (yet another) reminder to get off of here and onto Bluesky tbh.

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

Feels like home

@AsherEinhorn An absolute legend

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

Gwendoline Christie narrating Civilization VII is great and all, but Philomena Cunk was right there you cowards.

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

Playing Dragon Age Inquisition for the first time and the Hinterlands is a real "how will I know when I'm satisfied" situation, huh.

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

@manydills I have it but for silly reasons haven't built it yet!

[Neilan Naicker @Neilan]

I think this may be altogether too big
