“Actual title: “Gods Hands Made Wonders, Gods Hands Made Thee: Rob Zacny, Our Hero Among Men.”
(It’s 2023. I’m worried the kids these days, they don’t know the landscape of games media juggernauts anymore. Patrick Klepek, Austin Walker, the Giant Bomb lineage, the investigative journalism, the fact I was single handedly radicalized by these guys — no, I mean to focus down the unsung amongst titans, the little guy.)
I’m here to introduce you to Rob Zacny.
Rob Zacny, previously incredibly prolific and likely unbearably stressed freelancer is here uplifted to the position he deserves status post the golden days of the blogosphere. Appearing in his iconic position as a psychoacoustic speaker (painstakingly positioned) and thus thundering with all the gravitas intended regarding such subjects as: common sense leftist labor politics, breakthroughs in the strategy video game space, and his myriad forays into condominimum ownership, nay, Stewardship.
With a resume boasting strategy game specialist, here we have the former Three Moves Ahead sweetheart, and you’ve never heard a man grapple with war and space and politics and kitchen appliances quite like this guy. Which is to say: well.
A twinned host to Patrick Klepek that is nevertheless a perfect counter; like any strategist worth their salt, he stubbornly adheres to what works (unions! perhaps you’ve heard of them!) and efficiently cuts through the cover some subjects have enjoyed far past their welcome (cover: condo infrastructure; subject: field mice.)
If you’re anything like me then Rob is here to be, among other things, your problematic high revolving credit to debt fave. For all you may aspire to be Patrick (kid journalist) or Austin (the one who got away and god bless him, love you Austin) it’s more likely you actively *are* some version of our lad Rob: formerly a smoker, presently ADHD, a devoted husband and dog father, and armed with just enough credit limit to be dangerous.
Who amongst us is not regularly growing accustomed to a certain lifestyle you’ll subsequently fight tooth and FDIC to maintain — and defend. Rob is the blooded emperor and my favorite counterpoint to the most practical man alive — nothing but respect for my MVP. Lean in.
FC, GH, and briefly a question: I think Rob was supposed to buy a “good” telescope with his parents money once for use on their return visit and, well, hopefully it’s cloudy that day because I’m pretty sure he never did. Please remind everyone of that story, thanks! (Also Patrick thank you for watching Jennifer’s Body, I still see the success of that DM campaign as a personal victory.)
For those interested please search 3MA with Austin and Rob’s names and see the early interactions we have recorded. Also be sure to check out Shift-F1, the space where the most indulgent man (plus Danny and Drew) reflects on the most indulgent sport. Thanks for reading.”
