Dave Brandt, the "It ain't much, but it's honest work" guy, died over the weekend due to injuries sustained in a car accident. Look into his life story: He was way more than the meme; he was a farming revolutionary that someone once called "the Obi-Wan Kenobi of healthy soil."

I leave the room to let the dog out and Charlotte is watching a Disney World stage show. I come back and @geoffkeighley is teaching her about the DualSense. No idea how. Algorithm maybe?

@rclark98 @iamchrisjudge I recently had a chance to interview Cam Monaghan (Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi Survivor) and he went into great detail about performance capture, even explaining the differences between motion and performance capture. I really liked his answer (and look who he name-dropped):

Attended the funeral for the father of a dear friend today. He was buried wearing a Brian Dawkins jersey, and at the cemetery, all ten pall bearers switched out their suit jackets for @Eagles jerseys too. A proper sendoff for a man who bled green until the end. Go Birds.

I see this tweet is gaining traction. Normally I'm supposed to shill something I'm doing, but all I want you to do is tell the people you love that you love them. Accidents like the one that took our meme pal here are all too common, so hug those you care about tight today.

@thegameawards The answer is Briana White. No disrespect to Ashley Johnson, her Ellie is excellent, but Briana absolutely NAILED Aerith in her performance, despite the immense pressure inherent in giving voice to such an icon of gaming. That, for me, gives White a slight edge.
