Thank you everyone <3

This site has meant the world to me for so long. My favorite part of all of this will always be the community interactions and friends I've made through GBAtemp. I started as a contributor 10 years ago, and it feels crazy to look back on. I was so excited for the orange staff title and was so proud of myself. There were days I'd stay up and, as my user title suggests, post news every hour of every day without sleeping. I'd make sure I'd be there at the start of any Nintendo Direct or State of Play, so I could cover them for all the GBAtempers who wouldn't have the time to watch.

I took a lot of pride in all the content and articles I wrote for this site, trying to help GBAtemp grow at any opportunity. I think of all the little moments, of hanging out on the GBAtemp Discord and listening to people who just wanted to talk, coming up with ideas for new editorials and april fools jokes and things that would just get the people talking and interacting and discussing. All the silly dramas, that one guy who spawned 50,000 sheep on the Minecraft server and almost exploded my server PC, all the people I met that I still talk to to this day, and especially that time after the Hurricane, that I'm sure a lot of older 'tempers remember, helping me in a huge moment I'll remember until the day I die.

When I got promoted to Chief Editor, I was nothing but excited to keep going, keep posting, keep reaching new milestones. There was the 3DS banwave incident, where I was one of the first to cover Nintendo actually fighting back against people hacking their 3DS systems, and Kotaku sourcing me. Fallout creator Tim Cain retweeting my GBAtemp Recommends: Fallout article. Or when I got to stand 5 feet away from Shigeru Miyamoto and try to not let my jaw hang open in shock. Attending E3 as official press media and scurrying to experience every little thing I could so I could report back to everyone here. I'd be here forever if I kept listening important memories and moments I've had on this site.

This place has changed my life. I'm forever grateful for GBAtemp existing. And for everyone here, visiting every day.

I wasn't expecting this! You've brought tears to my eyes

I remember saying to you that one day you would take over from me, and I don't think you believed me at the time! And just like that, 5 years has gone by!

Being CE can be a very stressful role, but you definitely nailed it and have some big shoes to fill.

My favorite memory was watching you go around E3 and posting your live tweets in real-time. I always wanted to go there but could never make it. I got to live through it with you <3

You have done an outstanding job Chary and I hope you get everything you deserve in life and more!

Take it easy now and thanks again for everything xXx

Yeah and there is episode in Amazing Stories (1985) named Alamo Jobe showed in San Antonio.

I went there and it was interesting city but it was goddamn hot as hell. I liked a lot is River Walk.

I'm able to deal with high heat in Las Vegas but it is definitely not in San Antonio due to high humid make outside much hotter.

This is also why @Chary never had to review the latest skillets, she could just fry a steak on the window.

There was a very noticeable drop in the usual news articles after you stopped. Good luck in whatever you do next!

Woah that's unexpected, you had practically become the face of temp from my perspective. Couldn't possibly ask more of you though, you've contributed so much and reading your articles has always been a delight. Thanks for the memories, best of luck in your future endeavors, and don't be a stranger!

Always like this.
