america is wrong about everything except fahrenheit. farenheit is the correct way to measure temperature. fahrenheit is like "man, it's so hot out. it's gotta be like.......100 hots."

A few days ago, I had the honor and privilege to speak to @OziomaAkagha and @Jasonkelley_JK, who you might best know as @deathloop's Julianna and Colt. We spoke about their careers, recording Deathloop, diversity, and representation in media. thegamer.com/deathloop-actor…

Spoilers warning obviously, but really glad Pawel Kroenke got to speak more about the exciting challenge of making a story move a story forward in a world that wants to stand still. I can say that without a doubt we won't ever forget this crazy experience :)

This might have been one of my favorite moments in the almost 9 years of doing my podcast. @Jasonkelley_JK sharing thoughts about how the reception to his role as Colt from @deathloop resonated with him. You only get this kind of content on @spawnonme. 2022 is on notice!

The impact and responsibility that artists can have.

We talked with Jason E. Kelley about his role as Colt in Deathloop and how the reception from the audience stuck with him.

I stuttered too much to have the time to say this for every dev in this industry: wherever you come from, no matter whether you look like @mitmitman or @DanaENight or like me, YOU BELONG here. Fuck anyone who makes you feel otherwise. They will fade away, we will outlast them. ❤️
