Anyone else experience flights ✈️ where they say— ohhh we don’t know if we can bring out the service cart because of possible turbulence! — and then there’s like a very smooth flight and no drinks and snacks?
Reviewers: if something doesn't seem right about a game, please take a moment to re-read the rules or even reach out to the publisher or designer for clarification before publishing a review. That extra step can save heartache and damaged reputation on both sides.

See you this spring 😉🌟
Thank you! I’m sorry! Hope to see you this week!
I’ll be at gama but won’t be on this panel!
I’m sorry!
ILY! See you all soon!
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
Awww I’ll miss you!
I’ll share pics of my new games soon!
Winning the Emerging Designer Award last year was such an enormous honor, and a peak for my career thus far.
I never imagined or expected to win—so I just want to offer similar words that @stoichamster.bsky.social offered last year:
Don’t count yourself out before giving yourself the chance. ✂️🎲
Except for the loft, I would love to retire in a tiny home. This one makes my fairy tale loving heart happy... youtu.be/Pt-r8D6AziI?...
The video of our performance with Rebecca Sugar is out!!
My work with @Rebecca, Aivi & Surasshu @aivisura.com, and the Steven Universe team stands as some of the proudest work of my career.
Funny, I don’t feel any stability at all. Like I truly wish I felt anything was “stable” right now 🫠
The pro-AI, anti-game-designer nonsense Suz is quoting below is on LinkedIn, in the comments on a post by the SAME PERSON about how AI told him to *walk* to the car wash. (The cognitive dissonance is killing me!) Here's what I replied over there:
We do this work because it’s meaningful to play in a world that shouts at us to stop and settle down, be adults.
We do this work because of the joy it brings to people. Play is a tradition older than the concept of time itself.
If this work lets us survive, that’s something to be proud of.
Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.
We're live folks!

Same!
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Hey, Texas! Very, very important. Please spread the word!
How magical is your Rescue? Barkane the RPG you play with your dog is coming! #dogrescue #adoptdontshop #dog #barkane #ttrpg
Can we maintain a sense of playfulness, caring, and punk rock dedication to our visions? Can we be responsible stewards of our wonder-filled planet and everything in it, while not taking ourselves too seriously? Can we hold onto that childlike joy that gives us permission to explore, and appreciate, and be free? The existence of Katamari Damacy gives us a glimpse into a world where we can.
Re-read the fantastic Katamari Damacy book from @lauraehall.bsky.social and this reading, at this time in my career, hit like a ton of bricks
Astronomers have discovered an “almost-galaxy” called Cloud-9 (no, really), a failed galaxy that contains no stars. “There’s nothing like this that we’ve found so far in the universe.” [nytimes.com]
Clearly the best question I’ve ever asked with this being the first answer
You have to make a game about the last food you ate. What’s your game?

Miranda July walked by me today and I didn’t freak out or say hi or anything!! Christmas miracle ✨✨✨
something I learned this year is you should invite people to things even if you know they can’t come. instead of it making them feel bad it actually makes them feel good
Lazy Sunday debuted 20 years ago tonight.
Am I the only one who bursts into tears when a dream artist for a game I’ve been working on for yearssssssss says yes to every ask, plus has some ideas I love? 😭🫠🥹😭
