The only thing I feel is old.

And I've felt that for a while.

I don't have an extremely positive outlook on the year, but I will say this is the most serious I've ever been about games, game design, and pushing this community and the industry forward.

I want to be a pillar of respect and motivation. Motivation now, respect later.

Today is my birthday, and I know you're not giving me a gift, but give yourself the gift of actually doing something with the skills you have besides sit there idly and think about things rather than act upon things.

Happy birthday.
