Haha, yeah. I’d like to think I have a natural appreciation for classic video games, bolstered by my completionist drive, but I suspect there will be more than a few games joining Diablo in the ‘well, at least I tried’ pile.

(Yikes, this is much more than I intended to write. Sorry, folks.)

In good times, turnover is a sign of the circle of life. One has done and experienced everything there is to experience in a particular situation, and moves on to something new and better, clearing a space for someone new to enter that spot and grow and develop. This makes parting bittersweet - it is sad to let go of…

Bye Mr. Gerardi, thank you for the articles, and take care in future endeavors.

I’m not very active at all in this regular thread, but dangit I read it almost every Friday, always at work while daydreaming over what games I’ll be playing once I finally punch out for the week.

I didn’t post here much even before the Kinjacolypse, but I’ve stuck around and lurked for many years, because from Gameological to the AV Club to Kinja to whatever happens after Univision sells the place off, you’ve helped craft and maintain maybe the most thoughtful and welcoming little community in which to discuss…

Oh geez, this might actually have me tearing up over here. I'm so sorry to hear you're departing, Matt, but grateful for all you've done. I can genuinely say that my life would be less rich without the civil, thoughtful community that grew up around the Gameological Society. I'm looking forward to following your…

Thanks for all the great articles over the years Matt, and good luck on whatever comes next!

First of all, farewell, Matt. Thank you for cultivating this site to be a thoughtful, celebratory, and progressive voice in video games. It would have been so easy to let this little corner of the web fall victim to anger, snark, or clickbait (as even many other progressive-minded gaming publications have done!) but…

Best of luck and best wishes on future endeavors, Matt. I’ve never been too active on the Gameological part of the site, being a pretty casual game-player these days. But about a month ago, I asked for your input on Celeste, as it was the type of game I normally steer clear of, but one of your blurbs caught my…

Well I guess now I’m playing NES Ninja Gaiden. 

Long time reader, years and years and years. Very rare poster. But i had to chime in to say that you will be missed. The energy and spirit in which you share words with us is fantastic. Take care and god speed and good luck!

All the best Matt! Thanks for helping make this such a fun and chill place to talk games.

Thank you for your service, Matt. Gameological in all its forms is a lovely little haven of niceness in the gaming internet (I mean, Kotaku isn’t quite as bad as its reputation sometimes had it...) I do miss the regular games content here which seems to have dwindled considerably from even the pre-Kinja days, let…

Well, reading that was kind of a downer. More seriously, Matt, I wish you the utmost success in all of your future endeavors. I’m a relative latecomer to the Gameological Society, but it’s been my first or second stop every Friday morning for the last year-plus. This has been a great community and one of the places…

Good luck on your future endeavors! I've been enjoying these threads for years so thanks for that!

Thanks for everything, Matt.

First, thank you for all the amazing writing, Matt. This place is one of the most insightful and pleasant/positive places I come to online and you will be missed. Without your support, we would never have been here.
Secondly, I hope your funemployment is brief and the transition into a new, hopefully great job is…

Thanks Matt! Sorry to see you go. May your gaming always be bright.

Sad to see you go Matt and here’s hoping everything turns up roses from here on out. I know the seas have been choppy with the AV Club for awhile, so here’s hoping for a happy ending.
