It’s been 30 days since I started my break, and, as you might imagine, some people have been asking how it’s going so far and what I’ve been up to. And some haven’t, aka this is just a personal “blahg” update and something for me to look back on. And yes, long post will be… Read More: The road so far (30 days) »
My original intention was to write this a week or two after my last day at Spiceworks, with the goal of sort of silently slipping into the night. But, as we all know, the best-laid plans rarely go, well, as planned. There is this great thread in the Spiceworks Community that Z started, and I… Read More: My Spiceworks Epilogue »
Yes, I know; I haven’t updated anything on my ‘blahg’ in ages. The short version is I’m still alive, still working, and still love games—more updates Soon™ (yes, we all know what the trademarked ‘Soon’ means). I was watching a video by one of the content creators I keep up with, Redbeardflynn, entitled “What will… Read More: A glimpse of Shadowbane on Redbeardflynn’s “What will the Future… »
Has it really been 20 years?! Apparently, it has. Back on March 25, 2003, we launched Shadowbane. For many, Shadowbane has a lot of great game memories. And, yes, some terrible ones, too! I mean, who remembers how sb.exe was a meme before memes were cool? Or when someone used GM commands to teleport players… Read More: Shadowbane launched two decades ago! »
Ref: https://seandahlberg.com/2022/11/22/sean-has-left-the-building/ This one will be short and sweet as I’m mainly writing this for something to look back on in the years. But today, December 6th, 2022, is my first day as the Head of Developer Community, also known as “Leader, Technical Marketing,” at Cisco. I just finished my first onboarding session, and I have to admit,… Read More: Today I start the prologue of the next book in… »
Yesterday, November 21, 2022, was my last day at Spiceworks Ziff Davis. While it has sunk in mentally, it hasn’t really hit me emotionally yet. Right now, I feel like I have a day off or a mini-vacation. But I imagine it’ll hit like a freight train in a few days. Believe it or not,… Read More: Sean has left the Building »
It’s Throwback Thursday, so I figured this is as good a time as any to talk about some Shadowbane lore. A few weeks ago, one of the Shadowbane Reforged Discord community members was asking about some Shadowbane lore. I had some of the basic stuff on my website already. But, I am one of those… Read More: The Library of Aerynth & Shadowbane Reforged »
This is just a personal milestone update; nothing to do with gaming, community management, etc, etc. And, for the most part, I’m writing this for myself and something to look back on in the years to come. March 16th was the first day in a long… long time since I was almost debt-free. I say… Read More: Almost debt free! »
I started writing this over a month ago but, as you can tell, I’m late with post it. The short version is I recently hit my 10-year mark workiversary at Spiceworks. Yes, my first day working at Spiceworks was on December 14, 2011. A decade ago. Craziness. If I turn back the clock a little… Read More: A decade of spice! »
It’s coming close to a month now since Amazon Games’ New World has been released, and I have put roughly 30 hours into the game (although I’m unsure if that counts queueing time or not, to be honest). To give a bit of context, I’ve not even gotten into “end game” yet; I have two… Read More: Taking an expedition into the New World »
