🚨SAPPY THREAD INBOUND🚨 Tomorrow, 🎸Festival of Legends🥁 goes live! As the set lead, I'm obviously stoked, but my excitement goes much farther than that. For me, this expansion is a personal love letter to how important both Hearthstone and music have been in my life. https://t.co/MjANfNH1V5

      I want to take a moment to talk about why this set means so much to me, my connection to Hearthstone and music, and to just send thanks to everyone involved in both of these aspects of my life. Why? Because I'm an emotional person and I like to share things about myself LOL

        Obviously HS is a huge part of my life, and I am so lucky and honored to be able to work on the game I've spent soooo much time playing. Shoutout to EVERYONE on the team that worked on this expansion, yall are a pleasure to work with, incredibly passionate, and wicked talented <3

          Before joining the team, I made custom cards and posted them on r/customhearthstone for a year straight. Thank you to everyone there that interacted with my posts, and special thanks to everyone that doubted me - nothing motivated me more trying to prove y'all wrong 😈 https://t.co/14xfLNv3DQ

            HS was HUGE for me in high school and college. It was common ground that got me to connect with so many amazing friends, most of which I'm still close to today. Here's a 2015 clip of my Iron Juggernaut deck FINALLY winning against my friend that I would play with almost daily :') https://t.co/fle0JYIc1f

              Games in general have been core to who I am since waaaay before Hearthstone, but this game is one of the few that I've really never managed to put down. I think if I told high school Leo that he'd be working on HS and leading an expansion, he'd implode.

                Music is a whole 'nother thing. My dad was the main person that started my love for music. He would always share his rock albums when we were in the car, and was always eager to listen to any music I shared with him. He also helped make my deadmau5 helmet for Halloween in 2011 :D https://t.co/rXvteNOSgc

                  As I kept listening to music, I got more and more interested in making music. My parents signed me up for both piano and guitar lessons; here's a video of me in 2013 super proud that I learned a part of deadmau5's "Some Chords" on the piano (yes I really liked deadmau5) https://t.co/9otX3aASdv

                    Unfortunately, guitar and piano didn't stick with me for long. Thankfully, I had gotten super into making music on my laptop! I even convinced my parents to let me to go a different middle school than my brother and sister did just because they had a digital music class :D

                      So throughout middle and high school, I spent a good chunk of my free time just messing around with FL Studio and making silly songs and posting them online. Sadly I had a trend of deleting songs I didn't like anymore, so I don't have much older than this: https://t.co/Qx04kGCywy

                        College was the first time that I REALLY got to overlap my passion for music and gaming. I was majoring in Game Design, but I still liked making music and offered to make music for student games! Here's a soundtrack I made for a frog-collecting platformer. https://t.co/3vWYoXlWu9

                          2016 is where I got my first taste of live music (unless you count when I went to see The Wiggles live as a tiny little baby). I got to see Porter Robinson and Madeon live on their Shelter Tour, and wow.... truly a life-changing experience for me. https://t.co/KJfGFmSCFO

                            Towards the end of college I decided to focus as much as possible on Game Design and less on music, eventually dropping music as a thing I did to be able to focus on my studies and job search stuff. Looking back I am a bit sad that I didn't try to find some outlet for music, BUT:

                              NOW I GOT TO WORK ON A FREAKING MUSIC-THEMED HEARTHSTONE EXPANSION! It's truly mind-blowing to me that I was able to work on something that overlaps two of my favorite things, especially because it got me to look at and highlight everything in my life that got me to this point :)

                                I have too many people to thank for everything (not name dropping anyone though so I don't ping people who don't wanna be pinged): the HS team, my family, everyone from college, my friends in middle/high school, the custom HS subreddit, everyone who listened to my silly music

                                  I keep telling myself that it's weird to make such a long, emotional post about "just another HS expansion" but screw that noise - yes, this is just another set for most people, but for me this is truly so so much more than that <3

                            @MyntyPhresh i'm super happy for you man, but also, i'm sorry to report that my agéd bones crumbled into dust upon reading the phrase "2016 is where i got my first taste of live music"

                              @CoffeeSandwhich to be fair, idk if thats really a matter of age lol. I was extremely EXTREMELY hesitant to ever really go to any live shoes for a myriad of reasons (most of which were stupid in hindsight), and i only went to this one because my sister got me the tickets as a bday gift

                                @MyntyPhresh i did wonder if there was more to the story there, gotcha. well, props to your sister then, FoL is basically thanks to her! lol love that though. live music is one of the most life-affirming experiences we got, truly also this mf said live shoes

      @MyntyPhresh Quit making me look bad. My reasoning was only as deep as "I like murder mysteries." :P
