Stepping down from running the San Diego studio at Amazon Games. I have loved working for Christoph. Our San Diego team is incredible and the Games leadership is so talented. Can’t wait to see what the future brings for the team.

Do I think Fauci is anything but a good public servant trying to keep more people alive? Nope. I think he’s a good guy. But I do support getting to the bottom of this gain of function thing.

I’m deeply saddened by this. Rob gave our first cover in his PC Gamer Days. He just lived and breathes games. Such a great guy.

This weekend the game industry lost Rob Smith, editor of PC Gamer, OXM and OPM - and my partner for more than two decades on the Game Critics E3 Awards. He wrote an amazing book about LucasArts too, but will be remembered most as a incredible person who loved video games.

I was shocked to hear of the untimely passing of Mike Fahey from - he was a terrific journalist and gamer. He was such a massive Everquest fan too. That always warmed my heart. My condolences to his family and friends. He will most certainly be missed.

Hell Divers IX is another spectacular book in an incredibly fun and well written series by - I can’t recommend the series and the author in general highly enough. Also he writes so fast I’m amazed at how he keeps such a high quality bar. Great great stuff!

Quite the contrary. Maybe we can get abortion rights 4 years at a time at best. It’s going to take concerted effort to actually pull off a constitutional amendment. That’s going to take a long time. I do think we should start right now though.

Sadly when people say voting will change this abortion issue it really really won’t. Without a constitutional amendment all these issues including abortion will simply go back and forth as the winds of republican and democrat change. I’m not saying don’t vote.

We should hear from Senators Murkowski, Collins, and Manchin if they believe there should be any consequences at all for misleading members of the US Senate in order to secure a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. Otherwise Roe’s undoing is their legacy too.

People should have paid a lot more attention to Anita Hill. Clarence Thomas should have been a bad memory not a Supreme Court justice and his coup loving wife should be in jail

Well looks like the days of settled law in this country are over. What a sad day for women’s rights to control their own bodies and it’s obvious these idiots won’t stop there. Shame on the Supreme Court.

If you’re against abortion, don’t get one. If you’re against contraception, don’t take any. If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one. If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender. Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.

After many failures and setbacks in gaming we have a success. So proud of the team for the persistence. View setbacks as helpful obstacles that drive learning. Whatever your goals are, don’t give up no matter how hard it gets. @playnewworld (1/2) cnbc.com/2021/09/30/new

Really liking ios15’s safari with the move of the address bar to the bottom. So obvious. But hard to get that muscle memory going with it. Gotta wonder why it wasn’t there in the first place.
