Does anyone know of good restaurants not too far from Moscone that would have outdoor seating and some gluten free options? Why is it so hard?

On Tuesday at 1:50 PM @derek-lieu.com and I are giving a GDC talk about the "boring" behind-the-scenes parts of marketing that everyone often skips. Hopefully we'll convince you a) not to skip all of them and b) that they can have a big impact. Come hang! schedule.gdconf.com/session/back...

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

Inside the life of a Canadian game sound designer and composer Neha Patel unpacks her creative process between all kinds of games, from Venba and All Will Rise to Spleen and Slay the Spire.

Im in awe of Brad`s writing and how well he encapsulated my words.

I was all over the place during the interview, switching from one thought to another and yet he kept up and wrote it so meaningfully.

I am so touched! thank you @bradshankar.bsky.social
