It occurs to me that I’ve been coming here since 2009. That would be … 17 years. Either XGM or UGM or sometimes both. It is always great to spot friends in the crowd. In the last few days: Tom Wessel, Dirk Stanley, David Bar Shain, Aram Alexanian, Chris Alban, Gwen Kerby, the scroll is gratifyingly (terrifyingly?) long.
Epic has built a tradition and community that is stronger for the individuals and organizations that come here repeatedly to learn from each other and share best practices unselfishly. See my MMOLC post from a few years back.
Sometimes the introvert has to sit in the corner when the big sessions start just to be quiet and recharge before diving back in.
Or go for a quick Cow Bike ride.
To all, thank you. Instead of FOMO, I am profoundly grateful to all of you.
