Club PA Newsletter #58 (Patreon)

Alright!  I'm tucked into my office with my dog Mr. Bennet, my keyboard has received its annual cleaning, and this tiny room is warmed almost exclusively by a Geforce 1080.  Now, the newsletter may begin.  

In truth, I had the most normal Christmas in a while.  The last four months have seen three PAX shows, two funerals, and innumerable other trips.  At some point I said that what I wanted for Christmas was… nothing.  And as much of it as I could get.

I was trying to write about it in the post for a while, but I could never get it quite right.  Possibly I'll be more successful here, in this context.

I said as much when I was cutting a cake dedicated to Penny Arcade's twentieth year: twenty years was not a guarantee at all.  We had to learn a lot in a very short amount of time.  We had to trust each other a lot.  I was extended grace.  And now… this is the best year we've ever had, and two of the biggest projects we're working on don't even come out until next year.  So, yeah.  Knowing there were people out there who genuinely gave a shit about what's we get up to was kind of incalculable over the last couple years, so thanks for being someone outside of all this that I could talk to from time to time.  I needed it.
