writing my novel in Axios *Smart Brevity* format for maximum value and impact

@CRTpixels Fight scene choreography minigame was amazing

Happy 25th anniversary to Final Fantasy IX, my favorite game of all time ❤️ Still chasing that high.

never thought i'd miss getting the most hateful toxic Xbox voice messages after dark souls 2 duels but here we are. wonder what those losers are up to, probably getting owned still

@raven_apex A little media training would go a long way in that regard imo. So many missed opportunities in the ALGS broadcast where players clearly have personality and/or a compelling story that gets wasted bc they can't convey it on camera. Tragic seeing dry responses or indifference

Secondly not everyone has the personality or the skill to be a brand, that includes the majority of pro players

Lots of lazy pros but the idea that building your brand is the magic ticket for a player to esports longevity in Apex is a bit much. Viewership in Apex is not great right now and big orgs wont care unless you pull in *thousands* of viewers, (DKK right now as an example).

a campari-soda flavor vape would go so hard, will not be taking further questions at this time

going to start signing off all my emails cato style with a nice 'and btw the hetch hetchy dam should be destroyed'

@hayley_fail @Zanelea_fn Vouch for Alex Lee, excellent, conscientious reporter

@Zanelea_fn lmfao seriously an OF star? I thought the Hive sisters girls were supposedly their actual sisters? Shows how much I actually know what's going on. Not surprised tho. Tons of shady shit going on with that team.

Damn what are you all doing that even I am getting hit up for interviews from my website? Men posing as women again? 🥴 Quit being scumbags bros!

@LeaderGrev Are we getting a readergrev about this or do I have to watch it

What does Bloodborne have to do with literary and artistic modernism? Almost everything, according to Nathan Wainstein's book, Grant Us Eyes, discussed in the NYT. nytimes.com/2025/05/28/art…

@RKRigney Hope so! Thanks for the read Ryan

@eadavison_ Great piece. I know Nathan and the Tune & Fairweather gang are over the moon about this

Publishing one of the most candid interviews I've ever done, with Donald Boyce, who spent ~11 yrs working for some of the biggest names in esports. Now, he's leaving to teach philosophy — so we talked about his former boss Andy Dinh, esports money and human suffering. 🔗 below

@rbsamples @destructoid Congrats!

I'm moving over to @destructoid as the Editor in Chief there, and I'm so excited to join that talented team! Be on the lookout for what we've got planned — plenty of cool stuff on the way soon ;)

Last week was my final week as Managing Editor of Dot Esports. Dot was one of the first sites I joined in 2019 when I started my esports career. Out of everything from my time at Dot, though, I’m most proud of the team and all we accomplished in the last six years!
