He built hundreds of levels in games that EVERYBODY has played. He built and inspired teams. He grew a larger-than-life personality and ran with it like an absolute madman. 2/3

Richard and I sat side by side for years. Building worlds together. I'll miss you, man. Gone but absolutely impossible to forget. 3/3

@TheLevelord You're supposed to be here. Lost one of the greatest people I've ever known today. Richard made a huge personal impact on the careers of thousands while crafting experiences that tens of millions explored. 1/3

iPhone Duo is a day 1 for me but only because I have an older phone. REALLY going to miss the Pro max camera array + pressure sensitive Pencil support + Face ID + action button I expect in 2027 I'll be upgrading to the iPhone Duo Pro with all those various missing features 🙄

Playing around on my new C64 Ultimate yesterday and got re-obsessed with an old idea. I REALLY want a pocket C64. It can't just be a screen + a joystick. It needs a full PETSCII keyboard, so pocket programming is possible. So I whipped up something crazy. #c64 #RetroGaming #8bit

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion holds a special place in our hearts, and has shaped many of us over the years. The road from the original launch to the remaster has been a beautiful journey.

Amazing.
In 1985, I asked my brother David (age 15) to be the rotoscope model for my new game, Prince of Persia. 38 years later, I've made him a (present day) cartoon character in my new graphic novel memoir REPLAY. jordanmechner.com/en/books/r… Thanks, bro! @01FirstSecond @stripepress @princeofpersia

WATCH PARTY!!!! Tonight FALLOUT on Prime Video 6 pm Pacific, 9 pm Eastern @falloutonprime These two besties, colleagues and experts on all things Fallout worked together with many other creative minds behind this project. So proud of James Altman and Todd Howard for all they’ve accomplished. This collaboration is what I’ve been waiting for! The live performances and interactions between these characters.   (Since I’m from the era before video gaming, I want to see the action!) Watch with me!!

We’re excited to finally share The Elder Scrolls: Castles, our new mobile game from the team behind Fallout Shelter. The team has been hard at work on it for the last few years and we absolutely adore it. In Castles, you'll build your own dynasty where every day in our world is a year in the game's world. Citizens are born, they die, rulers change, and can be betrayed. This soft launch is one of the first steps as we get your feedback and make changes before it launches worldwide. Let us know what you think and preregister at elderscrolls.bethesda.net/ca… to be among the first to play! The Elder Scrolls: Castles is currently available in the Philippines and will be available to more countries in the coming months. For any questions, see our Customer Support page here: help.bethesda.net/home/produ….

Was listening to Free Bird while playing #Starfield and it was like a shot of adrenaline. This game's combat is incredibly satisfying.
