<!--{{Quote|After five incredible years, today I'm announcing that my time at Rooster Teeth is coming to an end.<br />Before anything else, I'd like to thank everyone I've worked with over the years. There are too many amazing people to list them all, but obviously I'll deeply miss seeing James, Elyse, and Adam every day, not to mention all my new friends on the Inside Gaming team. I wish them all the best and have complete faith they'll continue making cool stuff.<br />Actually, now I get to be surprised by what they make, which I'm weirdly looking forward to.<br />Now for the obvious questions that I can answer: why am I leaving, and what am I doing next?<br />My reasons for leaving are complicated and probably beyond what a notepad screenshot could convey. The simplest version is that I discovered a number of opportunities that I could best pursue on my own.<br />Which kinda leads to the next question. And I get how it looks... I promise I'm not leaving to become a full-time streamer.<br />...even if it might look that way for a little bit.<br />I have a lot of projects already in the works for 2020, but it'll take a few months before they're formed enough to talk about. In the meantime, I want to finally finish The Witcher 3 and I might as well stream it. So yeah - even though it's really not my plan to stream full time, I'll be streaming a lot in the coming months to try and get through my backlog.<br />I have some other ideas for what to do with live streams that I've been kicking around but never had the time to do. Now's the perfect time to explore them, so come see me at twitch.tv/sirlarr if you want to see what that ends up being.<br />And Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out and I'll be damned if a job is gonna get in the way of that.<br />If you're still reading, that means you care enough that I can thank you, too. Everything I've done and everything I will do is entirely because there are people that are entertained, interested, or at least go to sleep easier watching what I work on.<br />So thank you for that. Hopefully I can continue making content that's worthy of your time.|Twitter post<ref>https://twitter.com/SirLarr/status/1207065433561415680</ref>}}-->
