After 10 amazing years, today is my last day at theScore esports. It's been an amazing ride, and I'm so grateful for the career I've had and the people I've met. This isn't the ending that I would have chosen, but in this industry you don't always get to choose your ending.

Sean is like a brother to me, and the finest editor and writer I've ever worked with. He's brilliant, and well worth your time if you're hiring.

Love you, fuck this

After a decade of working my dream job, it's over. I was laid off from theScore esports today. Gonna take some time to mourn and be offline. I'll probably have more thoughts later, but for now if you know anyone who needs a writer, producer, or video host, please let me know.

how did they get the Arbitrator so right in Darktide

After nearly ten years at theScore esports, I’ve decided to focus on my family and become a stay-at-home Dad. There are too many people to thank directly, but to everyone who ever worked alongside me or who offered their time freely so we could speak -- thank you.

It's a war out there everyday (fr tho Yuri's Yosuke is great)

Unapologetically pro-parrying. They used the correct image.

My Victoria 3 Iberia campaign gave us a socialist, independent Saskatchewan led by Louis Riel. Happy Family Day (and Louis Riel Day)!

I never regret playing Helldivers 2.

The big list of FGC locals now contains 530 total events, wow! if your local isn't on here yet, leave comments on a new line with its info. If your local is closed, comment it as inactive under Status. If your local has a Bsky account, comment with that too. Thanks! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Interesting take. In the communities ofgames that I play that sort of straddle this line, I've seen the tension between people who are there to optimize literally everything and those who view the game as a kind of emergent experience that tells its own story.

If you're wondering where GeoGuessr came from and how its nascent esports scene works, well... I wrote and hosted this video! Huge thanks to Mikael Falgard and Fau for speaking with me for this one. The goal was to give viewers an overview, I wrote it in two days. #esports #GeoGuessr

The statement by Astralis on the ESIC ruling will be studied by future public relations students as an example of what not to do.

I played Foxhole for all of last night and didn't fight a single person. Logistics in this game are wild

Nice write-up of the OEI white paper, I'd recommend giving it a read if you're interested. #esports

web3 and solipsism? A classic combination

We need to return to this PC aesthetic. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...

Trying to learn how to play Dwarf Fortress...

Rocket League esports is facing a critical moment when orgs are openly talking about the dire financial situation they're facing. Latest from me via theScore eSports: youtu.be/r_rARxrZJs4?... #esports #rocketleague #RLCS

I love that Blizzard updated the main menu splash art in Heroes of the Storm for the 30th Warcraft anniversary, and it triggered an instant wave of hopium.

My reaction when de_train returns to CS

I fell out of posting on Twitter because the atmosphere there was terrible. Then all the garbage happened and I started using it purely for work. So far, Bluesky has been interesting!

One of my fav esports logos: the FaZe Clan "Scandinavian" (at least that's what I called it) logo, was used from 2016-2018. The initial CS:GO roster had two Norwegians (rain, jkaem), a Swede (Maikelele), and a Dane (Aizy). The first logo had blue in the middle layer, but they moved it around.

The MongolZ are going to the Major! Let's go 910! #cs2 #PerfectWorldShanghaiMajor2024 #esports www.hltv.org/news/40243/t...

The #Overwatch Classic announcement probably upset me more than it should have. Should players be happy that you're bringing back what they already had, except now with far shittier monetization? Make it make sense.
