Over a decade ago, my best friend told me one of his YouTube subscribers gave him a few beta keys to a game called SMITE. Without knowing a thing about it, I fell in love with the game and later the people. Now it has turned gaming into my career. I'm glad I got to play my part.

Smite is not your identity, but rather, you gave identity to Smite. No layoff can take that away. Keep that passion, that dedication. It will treat you well. ❤️
Ok I may have a bit more to say. I went from HiRez, to pizza delivery and other jobs (for 4 years), to a small indie gaming company, to Blizzard, and now GDQ. The ride in the gaming industry is a wild one, but it doesn't end unless you want it to. There ARE places for you.
I hope everyone out here on this hellsite is doing well. Few quick updates:
- Dinged level 40 yesterday.
- Found a new job a couple of months ago.
- Going to be at AGDQ in January. Say hey if you are there.
- Follow me on the other app. Same name.
- Rare pic for proof of life.

Starting the transfer over. Same handle everywhere.
I'll probably still be on both for a bit, but hopefully not too long.

Well its been over a year of under/unemployment but I'm finally back in gaming!
Going to keep the specifics kinda quiet for now (unless I know you personally), but it is probably the coolest position I've ever had and I am legit excited about the work I'm going to get to do.

Twas a strange form of therapy getting all these gods together. One final big Smite piece for you all!!! Love you guys! artstation.com/artwork/3EEBm…
Really sucks to hear about Game Informer, both from an industry and a nostalgia point of view. I remember slinging these subscriptions hard back in my old Gamestop days.

Palworld gamers - a moment of your time
Please stop getting baited into player number arguments on Discord, Twitter and Reddit.
I see you guys in the comments, and it’s really sweet you want to stand up for Palworld but it’s super not worth your time.
Those posts are pure engagement bait. 99% of them are basically just NPCs desperate for a post to “do numbers” and the other 1% is just the media doing what media do.
I see your comments, the arguing, the back and forths…some of you even @ me.
It doesn’t matter.
Palworld had 2mil, then it had 15k, now it has 140k…it’s not something to get angry about. In a few weeks it’ll go down again, and next major update it’ll go up. That’s just how it works.
Palworld could have literally 1 person playing it and that won’t take away from the fact that YOU played a fun game and have fun memories of it.
💩“X was fun for a month but it fell off”💩
Don’t let this constant gamer culture of dragging every game down, bickering, arguing, faux console war nonsensical garbo bait you into giving up even a second of your day.
Play whatever games you want, don’t play whatever games you want. If you like it, great! If you don’t like, move on. There’s countless other games out there to try.
It’s doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

This has to feel very affirming for those working on it. Glad to see the early success and hope it continues.
