It's not all bad news and it's not about what should happen - "should" has nothing to do with it. But the reality is that the job market is not being experienced in the same way by everyone - so what's the difference? That's our primary subject today (and tomorrow). See you there.

This is a studio origin story I love to see.

Took the entire family to see Fantastic Four today. Looking forward to taking the entire family to see Fantastic Four again... right after we see Superman for the second time.

There's a sweet spot with adding mods to games that I never seem to be content with. Instead I always load up enough mods to get the game looking and playing just the way I want... And then I load up a couple dozen more and break everything.
