Just tweeting to myself to let off some steam

[Mortdog @Mortdog]

My time at Riot and on TFT as a Game Designer has come to an end. Just under 10 years, and to be honest I thought it was going to be longer, but sometimes things change.
-------------------------------------------------
I’m so grateful for what I was able to be a small part of, and able to accomplish in the last decade. It’s been a dream career, and I have got to do so much thanks to Riot. Even trying to list it all feels insane what I managed to do in this time. And the crazy 7 years on TFT where I got to design, balance, teach, lead, and more for my job, but then also build a community, stream, cast, go to events…it’s just been amazing. Ending on stuff like the Unlock system and a couple other things…I’m heading out proud.

To everyone I worked with over the years, thank you for letting me be a part of everything we accomplished. I hope I managed to teach you something or bring you joy in some way. I genuinely hope our paths cross again in the future.

To everyone who supported TFT or me over the years, you have no idea what it means to me. I cherish all the moments over the years, and they’ll keep me going. I am so blessed to have been a part of your lives and thank you for letting me bring some fun into your world.
-----------------------------------------------------
So…what’s next for me? I’m trying to figure that out.
First off, since I was on sabbatical and am terrible at relaxing/not working, I have been making my own small indie game. I’m about 2 months into development and have already had folks playtesting some early builds. I’d say the game is like 20-30% done, but my goal is to release it as a full game. It’s been fun keeping my skills sharp in a different space, and I hope to share it with you all someday.

Beyond that, I’m keeping my eyes open for other opportunities. I’ve had a few conversations here and there already during my Sabbatical. It’s a brutal industry right now, so I’m taking one day at a time and figuring out what’s next for me, whether it’s working on another studio’s game or even my own thing.

And I’d love to find a space to do some content creation and be able to share my knowledge of game development. But that may take some time to figure out how to do it right.
-------------------------------------------------------Again, thank you for everything these last 10 years. It’s a big change and I’m nervous but hoping it all works out. Until next time, take it easy!

Everyone’s dunking on odegaard like he’s not been the best player on the pitch all game

Lalas rightfully gets a lot of hate but the fact that Dr Joe is still commentating might be even worse

We see pictures of the beautiful gift we’ve been given from outerspace, and we’re down here nuking it with bombs. How undeserving we are

A newly found bright spot on the moon has been named Carroll by the Artemis II crew.

This is named after astronaut Reid Wiseman's late wife.

Today i announce my retirement from football, Four different countries six different clubs, A boy from Muthurwa with a big dream, carrying a Nations pride everytime i stepped onto the pitch. To my family, friends, agent, the fans and the coaching staff that helped me throughout

I think Bob Dylan has mentioned being at a crossroads in more than half of his songs

Everyone gets made fun of, it only seems like contempt because every time it happens you resort to telling everyone how superior you are to them instead of just laughing it off or ignoring it

[Jakey @KeyJay115]

The amount of contempt that non-film people have for those who are passionate about the medium is bizarre.

"It's only a joke" and it's just thinly veiled anti-intellectualism. This shit is so lame.

[Peeny @thfcpeeny]

Also most people that are tortured don’t actually know any of the information they’re asked for

[Vivian @suchnerve]

so cool how basically every study concludes that torture doesn’t work because people will just say whatever they think will get it to stop, not the actual truth, but apparently most people temporarily lose their ability to understand language when that’s brought up

[Peeny @thfcpeeny]

@dbessner Nothing gets past you does it. Quite the detective you are

[Peeny @thfcpeeny]

If the new Frankenstein movie replaced hand-written letters with iPhones would it be a problem?

No one else in the lobby had a 3* 4 or 5 gold, lost 2 rounds in a row to some mid ass boards, I’m actually so mad
