I’m not sure Matt LaFleur deserves this job anymore, which is sad because he is a great coach in so many ways.

He is, however, awful in game management. One of the worst coaches in the league. How do you improve that? I haven’t seen it improve after 7 years.

It’s rough being a Badger football fan this year, but it’s better than cheering for a school who is blowing millions and millions and then losing anyways. I love to watch Miami fail after all the shady shit they do buying a team.

Traditional Games Publishing is broken

…and we can fix it via new models and flexible approaches that actually support developers, in new places (like Ireland)

Had an incredible time speaking at Nexus in Ireland about the future of Publishing

Disgusting loss. It’s painful now but will be a good lesson for them later.

Love has to take command. Matt has to coach better.

Embarrassing result and it’s very much on the coaches. Offense and Special Teams first and foremost.

Newark is a shit airport, somehow never been through it before and now I know something worse than O’Hare.

Silksong, smacking sticks and other new indie games worth checking out There are some juicy freebies and discounts on Epic Games Store and Prime Gaming too.

Tombwater / Legend of Baboo both named next to Silksong. Really cool!
