No more phone calls, no more plans to bike down to the Mini-Golf to get in a few hours of Street Fighter II, no more plans to hit a movie, or just plain hang out together.

“demanding that they reach a level…”
I’d fire back seething responses.
Probably want to go with a colon at the end here since the next bit is the examples of what you said.
zero-tolerance policy of mediocrity
Change “of” to “towards”.
as Ater had been wearing multiple hats at the end of tenure.
“…end of his tenure.”
a raider stretching even further back that Ater
Change “that” to “than”.
