I figure a community director doesn't have much say in any of this, (and, let's be frank, we're all probably replying to ChatGPT here anyway,) but please send it up the chain that your company is a tumorous growth on the internet. I figure they won't care because they majored in marketing and business management and you have to completely forego your humanity once you start your program for that, but I gotta believe that maybe one day it'll get through. Until then they'll keep saying "push more short form video!" or "less money out!" or "i don't care how, just do it!" with zero idea of what makes anything they own enjoyable. Fandom, for all intents and purposes, is a money laundering front that blends in via laying people off every quarter.

I know that times are fucked up and this is probably just a job for you, but you are doing gruntwork for the ticks on the underbelly of the modern day internet. You will suck until it is dry, and on its corpse will be an ad for the new Toyota Corolla

Oh let's break it down

A lot of people would consider it ludicrous to sit here and cry over a person I've never met in my life. But I've followed Giant Bomb for a long time, (albeit not nearly as long as some,) but long enough to feel like Ryan, Jeff, Vinny, Brad, Alex, and all of the other duders are family to me. It's hard to believe that barely a week ago I was watching a bunch of Ryan's quick looks, psyched to hear him on the bombcast, ranting on about his wedding and how ridiculous it was. Ryan may be gone, but his Tuuuueeesdays will never be forgotten, nor will his summerjams.

Ryan, thank you for all you've done for the gaming industry. Thanks for getting me through rough patches in my life, and thanks for doing what you loved. My deepest condolences to everyone at GB and Ryan's wife.

One of the things I most look forward to most about PAX: the countless great/horrible bands, the Bomb crew getting belligerent, and Brad getting extra belligerent. Really nice start to PAX this year.

The Podcast page for the Bombcast is completely broken on the Marketplace, it seems. I used BlatantNinja's sugestion, and it seems to work just fine. It's a shame it won't automatically download like it usually did, but it works.
