@npub1wc2…t4wa I think so, got it in my work farewell card

As you chart new paths, “I’ll be back” we know,
You’ll venture to realms where the Force flows.
“So say we all,” with a wink and a grin,
In this nerdy farewell, where the next game begins.

A Blade Runner soul, you’ve seen wonders unfold,
All those moments—they’ll never grow old.
Like tears in rain, your brilliance may pass,
But resistance is futile, your impact will last.
You’ve leveled us up, a colleague, a friend,
In this geeky adventure, until the end.
“We’re all stories in the end,” that’s what they say,
But you made yours epic, in every way.

To Infinity and Beyond: A Nerdy Farewell
In the pixels of life, where Atari games play,
You’ve been our hero, day after day.
From 8-bit worlds to galaxies far,
You’ve shown us all what true nerds are.
With MidJourney creations and AI at your side,
You’ve boldly gone where data streams collide.
In the Star Trek universe, you’d surely belong,
“Live long and prosper,” where you stay strong.
