My personal ranking of all #guildwars2 maps. Each of the S-tier maps has some of my favorite gaming experiences - from finding my first jumping puzzles in Old LA to commanding over 50 random players to defeat a huge world boss in Dragon's End. Thanks for the template @lara_irl !

My favorite TV show. Lots of references to it in my games (there's even a Smokey ball trail in Ballhalla), and quite a big inspiration for our next project. 4 8 15 16 23 42 🧡
20 years ago today, ‘LOST’ premiered.

The feels when an indie game you like is inspired by a retro game you love! Plus new Arg noise at 41s. Don't ask me, I donno. 😂
