Introduction post! Hi! My name is Matt, but a lot of people call me Chilly. There’s too many Matts in the world so it’s just an easier moniker. I work in the “video industry” wearing lots of hats, but primarily bill myself as a producer and technical director of live events. Follow for dog pics!

The year is almost up and I’ve only just finished a 4th game. I get the feeling this might be my last for 2026 unless a super short one spikes my interest. Next year might be less. Times sure have changed.

#4 Grand Theft Auto V (Yes, for the first time.)

I wish the Steam Machine was a little more powerful for its frankly outrageous cost. Cus this is cool as hell and I want it in my living room

Faceplate for Steam Machine (Pixel Matrix / e-ink) up for order at JSAUX ($86.40/$96 w/ code WARIO64) buff.ly/BF5lvjO #ad

Of course I’m hyped for StarCraft (wish it were still an RTS though) and Diablo, that shits my childhood. But I’m also hoping for an independent Blizzard by 2030. Would be a miracle if these projects even make it to 2030 without massive layoffs before release.

Similar experience. I was bullied and called a terrorist by fellow classmates and a teacher for being Turkish and Muslim. I distanced myself from my culture and faith because “unity”.

I'm a white Arab American. Most ppl would never know that's my background by looking at me. The day after 9/11, family friends, who did not know, where at the house and openly talking about how all Arabs and Muslims in the US should be rounded up into camps. I was 12 years old. We were never united.

I do not understand the hate for the Ocarina of Time remake. It looks dope to me, someone who obsessively played the OG at age 7.

I do feel like not making a gold cartridge version at least at launch is a massive miss. Like I don’t even have a Switch 2, but I would buy this just for the gold cart (in anticipation of getting a Switch 2 later).

This was a fun one, didn’t really know what we were doing until about 24hrs out from live. 😅

Proud to support Seattle Indies yesterday at SIX 2026. A little behind the scenes at the volunteer crew interviewing developers all day in a room tucked away from the expo floor.

lol it’s so funny how I dusted mine off like two weeks ago and now I see everyone else doing the same. This thing will never die.

Out here getting it done

I do have to say, the amount of f-slurs and r-words used in trio fills as a solo queue player makes me never want to use voice chat. Hopefully this cleans up the community.

We want voice chat in Marathon to be a safer and more respectful space for everyone. To support that, we’ll soon be rolling out voice moderation for in-game voice chat. (1/3)

Sky High (2005) I got a free ticket from a cereal box or something. I was 13, dropped off by my step dad and watched it alone.

I know we were all hoping the rule of threes would go in our favor, but it seems like a real monkey’s paw situation when we are rid of two massive pieces of shit and then lose a truly good soul. RIP Sam Neill, you held a quintessential role in my childhood. Time for a rewatch and a cry.

Some predictions: 1) Retailers will not stock digital only consoles without physical games 2) Consoles will sell direct from manufacturers and scalped out of existence 3) Always online policies will return, after all, you had to download these digital only games, right?

We’re staying far away from the World Cup craziness downtown, but enjoying all the soccer decor everywhere. Had to escape the 90° heat today and catch some air conditioning at the mall.

Really thought my next would’ve been Baldur’s Gate 3, but I played myself into an impossible Act 3 finish. RE8 was a good pallet cleanser. A lot shorter than I expected. After 5 years, somehow never got spoiled. I think I might linger on this one a bit longer and tackle this DLC.

#3 Resident Evil: Village (But maybe not quite finished?)

19 days old, he’s definitely recognizing his things and having fun with them. This Kick & Play has been great for tummy time, but he likes to kick and grab the hanging toys on his back while watching the lights. #ParentSky #DadSky

I think today is the first day I’ve watched a full non-Sounders MLS match, multiple at that. Trying to get the sounds of soccer ingrained in my son’s head. Started with Toronto v Miami, then Chicago v Red Bulls, now Montréal v Orlando.

I don’t give a fuck about UFOs. Stop arming Israel. Stop bombing Iran. Stop shooting non-violent, peaceful Americans. Stop deporting everyone with a hint of color. Stop demonizing trans people. Stop enabling tech bros in eviscerating our intelligence. Stop being the dumbest fucking leaders on Earth.

Some Reddit post I saw a while back claimed dads have to give up gaming for several years after birth. Idk, seems like a skill issue. #ParentSky #DadSky #GamingSky

I won’t be posting any identifying photos of my son publicly online, but I may share some experiences from time to time and maybe some creatively censored pics. Kids should have a say in their digital footprint and babies can’t consent. #ParentSky #DadSky

Eid Mubarak! Even if you don’t celebrate, please check in on your Muslim friends and family. Fasting all month is hard enough, but it’s especially hard to be Muslim as of late.

First time in Korea was about trying new things I’ve never seen, had or done before. Second time in Korea is about living like a Korean. So we went to Costco.
