I've been spending a lot of my spare time hiking the surrounding hills recently. We have so many great wildlife reserves around here! I just need it to stop being over 100°F.

These last 8 months at Epic have been life-changing for me and my family. I honestly can't believe it somedays. And now we get 2 whole weeks off for Summer Break?! Feels surreal after 16 years grinding it out in this industry. So grateful.

My family had a blast with this update last night. New Hide and Seek mode is great. Continues to be our go-to for family game night!. What a cool thread to meet the talented folks behind it.
A huge shout out to our wonderful collaborators who made the Just Desserts DLC happen! Here's a thread of some of the artists, designers and programmers who contributed to our new DLC. 🧵

Have you heard of the critically acclaimed 10.2.6 movie Muppet Treasure Island? With legendary comedian Tim Curry, you can watch the award-winning Kermit the Frog do front flips while swordfighting, for free with no restrictions on watchtime.

I spent the last two weeks out at Epic HQ in North Carolina, getting to know and learning from some of the best designers on the planet. It was an incredible experience and I can't wait to do it again. Thanks to everyone like Johnny who helped organize it!.
I helped put on our first Epic Games Design Summit last week, and it was such a wonderful experience (and sooooo much work) to bring everyone together from around the world to talk design values and process and get to know each other along the way. The future is bright at Epic!.

Happy 25th birthday to @everquest!. I joined the EQ team in 2012 and helped ship 5 expansions before I left in 2017. I'm forever grateful to that team for taking a chance on me and teaching me so much. (PS Kiith is a madman. 91% /played of all possible playtime since 1999)
