    This is a wild one for me. My brother and I have dreamed of working together for over a decade. It finally happened! Blew my mind when he was cast. I got to give notes on dialogue he'd be delivering, listen to the early recordings, give him my hot takes on Blitz, etc. So fun. 🥰

    I love RPG systems that mechanize non-combat activities, especially those that integrate role-playing into their core loop. I had a lot of fun with this one: merchant jenga. Thread.

    I'm awed by the folks that put this together. If you've played 2XKO for 5 minutes, you can see what an authentic ode to the experience it is. The fighting, but also the spirit and camaraderie of the game, and the FGC. Cried more than once watching this... it's been a journey. 🥲

    Sonic told me they had some nasty Ekko shit and I said I wanted to see it live. They hit it in a game and I flipped out. I'd never seen this combo.

    It’s wild that DMing isn’t mandatory practice for game designers. “Hey kid, you think making games is cool? How ‘bout you try BEING a game.”

    Teemo and Warwick have been out a week! Our goal is for anyone who's really drawn to a champ to end up loving them. So: If you're feeling Teemo, what do you like about him? If you initially thought "this is my jam", but ended up disappointed, why? Same questions for Warwick.

    I'm living in a constant state of excitement for 2XKO Closed Beta. It is the background radiation of my entire existence. In eight days this game will just... exist. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a thing so much for so long.

    Fun fact about this mix: while Ekko is rewinding, his BODY is technically moving toward the clone, even though he's largely invisible. If he can get Timewinder to hit _while_ he's rewinding through you, you have to switch blocking direction as he passes through. Good luck! 😈

    Coming back to the real world after D&D is like waking from a dream. Some crazy wizard stuff happened and, inexplicably, nobody gives a shit.
