STARTING JUNE 1ST AT 7PM CST I WILL DOUBLE DOWN AND DOUBLE UP ON MY SECOND ANNUAL DONOTHON.
I WILL BE TAKING TWO NEW ACCOUNTS AND NOT ENDING STREAM UNTIL I REACH MASTERS ON ONE OF THEM IN DOUBLE UP. I WILL BE PLAYING ON ONE ACCOUNT ON MY COMPUTER AND THE OTHER ON MY IPAD AT THE SAME TIME.
ONCE AGAIN, THERE IS A CATCH: YOUR DONOS WILL GRIEF ME
EVERY $5 OR SUB = I WILL SELL A CARRY
EVERY $10 = I WILL SELL ANYONE ITEMIZED ON ONE BOARD
EVERY $25 = I WILL SELL A WHOLE BOARD
EVERY $50 = I WILL AFK ON ONE ACCOUNT OR YOU CAN BE MY DOUBLE UP PARTNER.
THERE WILL BE DONO GOALS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE ENTIRE STREAM RANGING FROM SOJU CHUGGING TO IN TOURNEY FOOTCAM TO SHREK COSPLAY. OH AND ANYONE WHO DONATES AT LEAST $25 WILL GET A COACHING SESSION (BUT PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME TO SCHEDULE IT).
EVEN IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO DONATE, PLEASE STOP BY AND AT LEAST WISH ME LUCK BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE HOW EASY CONTROLLING TWO GAMES AT ONCE WHILE GETTING GRIEFED WILL BE! ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE GOING TO THE TREVOR PROJECT.
Getting Day 3ed isn’t the way I wanted to spend my birthday, but so many of my games felt unplayable or just low variance. Can’t complain too much, though, because my real life has never been better because of the people I have been surrounding myself with!

to anyone else who might respond like this:
1. it's not as obvious if you don't know he has sent the same message to [hundreds?] of people.
2. predators rely on vulnerability. anyone, at any time, can become vulnerable. it is often younger people, but not always.

Your friend just hit challenger and she wants to go to the next Vegas Open. What are some concerns you might have?

I don’t wanna go into specifics but we should all know it is and evidently difficult to even exist online as a woman without facing harassment. If someone is uncomfortable in a community, that community should try to address what is happening to make that individual uncomfortable

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
🚨 BREAKING: Israel has killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, director of public relations for the Egyptian Committee in Gaza, Tuesday evening in a strike on a civilian vehicle near the governorate building in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighborhood, per the Palestinian Information Center.
Two other Palestinians, including a child, were killed alongside him and others wounded, per Arabi Post, bringing the day’s death toll from Israeli attacks across Gaza to six, amid ongoing violations of the ceasefire.
The Egyptian Committee, established by President Sisi, is Cairo’s official relief arm in Gaza, distributing food, housing displaced families in camps it built at Netzarim, and clearing rubble.
Israel has killed its personnel before: in January, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle carrying committee workers filming a new displacement camp near Netzarim, killing five people including three journalists working for the committee. Israeli media reported Cairo sent an angry protest demanding explanations for that attack.
The targeted strike and killing of an official of Egypt’s own relief operation comes as Cairo hosts negotiations on the ceasefire’s second phase, with a Hamas delegation in its sixth day of talks there. Reports suggest the strike took place just before the Egypt-Argentina soccer World Cup match.

My time at Riot and on TFT as a Game Designer has come to an end. Just under 10 years, and to be honest I thought it was going to be longer, but sometimes things change.
-------------------------------------------------
I’m so grateful for what I was able to be a small part of, and able to accomplish in the last decade. It’s been a dream career, and I have got to do so much thanks to Riot. Even trying to list it all feels insane what I managed to do in this time. And the crazy 7 years on TFT where I got to design, balance, teach, lead, and more for my job, but then also build a community, stream, cast, go to events…it’s just been amazing. Ending on stuff like the Unlock system and a couple other things…I’m heading out proud.
To everyone I worked with over the years, thank you for letting me be a part of everything we accomplished. I hope I managed to teach you something or bring you joy in some way. I genuinely hope our paths cross again in the future.
To everyone who supported TFT or me over the years, you have no idea what it means to me. I cherish all the moments over the years, and they’ll keep me going. I am so blessed to have been a part of your lives and thank you for letting me bring some fun into your world.
-----------------------------------------------------
So…what’s next for me? I’m trying to figure that out.
First off, since I was on sabbatical and am terrible at relaxing/not working, I have been making my own small indie game. I’m about 2 months into development and have already had folks playtesting some early builds. I’d say the game is like 20-30% done, but my goal is to release it as a full game. It’s been fun keeping my skills sharp in a different space, and I hope to share it with you all someday.
Beyond that, I’m keeping my eyes open for other opportunities. I’ve had a few conversations here and there already during my Sabbatical. It’s a brutal industry right now, so I’m taking one day at a time and figuring out what’s next for me, whether it’s working on another studio’s game or even my own thing.
And I’d love to find a space to do some content creation and be able to share my knowledge of game development. But that may take some time to figure out how to do it right.
-------------------------------------------------------Again, thank you for everything these last 10 years. It’s a big change and I’m nervous but hoping it all works out. Until next time, take it easy!
