My heart breaks for all my former colleagues at Bungie, to go through something like this twice in the span of a year is heartbreaking. I don’t know who has been affected but everyone I worked with at Bungie is incredibly talented and would be great additions to any team.
This morning, we shared an important update with the Bungie team on the difficult decision to eliminate 220 roles at Bungie.

It was definitely very much still a niche nerdy thing when I started high school (2014) and over time got slightly more accepted, and by the time I got to college (2018) I saw celebrities saying they watched anime, definitely in a much better spot than it used to be

Even though I’m no longer at Bungie today hurts. I found out some of my closest coworkers were let go. The team I started with Bungie at is entirely gone, whether it be due to contracts ending or layoffs, and now the last person from my original team was laid off today

I do know a lot about the game, I was very hyper-focused on gameplay abilities and had tools to get desired stat builds internally, but armor/armor mods weren’t really my area, and since I didn’t play much outside of work (to avoid burnout) I didn’t deal with these systems much

I didn't really play Destiny prior to working at Bungie, but when I was graduating high school (2018) I went to the local Toys R Us which was going out of business to see if I could get any cheap games. I got Destiny 2 base game for like $5. (1/2)

This was far from my first project, but Race To The Stage was the first game I worked on to get shown to the public (it was playable at a concert venue) and then I started working on Destiny 2 about 2 weeks after we “shipped” Race To the Stage (both in 2022!)
What was the first game you worked on and which was the latest?👀

My YouTube history while playing the original FFVIIR is why we need yellow paint. If there is a way to get lost or not understand a puzzle in a video game I will find it
Everyone needs to calm down about yellow paint in games. If you can think of a better color to paint ledges so gamers don't run in a circle for 20 minutes and then angrily return the game I'd like to hear it.

from the vet to hand over Checker’s remains, Rocketman came on the radio (Rocket was a name considered for the new cat) and while the song was playing we got a text saying we can see this cat today (instead of Friday), which I like to think is a sign from Checkers 💙
