At my first show down here and it’s so weird not saying hi to 10 people in 10 minutes right when I walk in. Missing my Seattle community. ❤️

My reward for getting in and out of IKEA in 18 minutes is a crappy little hotdog, which also happens to be the reward for getting in and out of IKEA in 2 hours.

You know you’re real deal gameplay design if you do a playtest focused on activities and 90% of your feedback notes are gameplay minutiae for you and your team.

@flashes.blue hello. My timeline defaults to almost all accounts I didn’t choose to follow. Is there a setting that just shows me posts from who I follow? Thx!

We’re moving to CA today for my new job. Been a crazy week of packing, preparing, and saying goodbye to my friends and family. Seattle will always be home.

I’m not a Sports Guy, but I do think if you work in games it’s in your best interest to watch and understand sports. Each one is a lesson in pacing, anticipation, improvisation, mastery, random elements, tons of nuggets to pull from a proven model into your sick ass video game.

Reminder that a game can still be challenging, rewarding, AND accessible. Accessibility never has and never will compromise gameplay, so long as you do it right. Making a game accessible AND fun is the difference between any designer vs. a great designer.
