I’m speaking at GDC! First time since Cursed Problems. Making fighting games rewired my brain - on what games are for, and why players actually show up. “Player Mythologies” is about designing a player experience that stretches beyond the game itself.

Years ago, @nodira used to joke that she's so sneaky that she'd one day go through an entire pregnancy without telling anyone. We didn't quite tell _no one_, but uh... y'all, we have a BABY. His name is Noor, he's DOPE AS HELL, and he's two months old today!! I LOVE BABY

Thought Sapiens covered everything you need to know about the origin of our species? Turns out he missed a few things...like, you know, women. Enter "Eve" 📖👇A witty and provocative history of womankind by the amazing @catbohannon. Available now. #women #science #inclusion
Hey! So @catbohannon, the much more talented human that I share my life with, wrote a book. It’s out today. https://t.co/iCbhkDoT5b

This is spot on, and exactly why we're building focused with @alexishope and Justin Trobec. https://t.co/C0gXPUnrcw We help people with remote work in the same way that group fitness classes help people with exercise. You just need to show up, and we take care of the rest. 💪

Everything you need to start the day fresh, get in the zone, and eliminate distractions. Morning planning calls, deep work sessions, an app to track your goals, and more!
i think most people struggle with the accountability of remote work the way most people need group fitness classes, a personal trainer, or at least a gym for accountability — it’s easier to motivate when there are others around, easier to slack when you’re on your own

Lol, @nodira trolls me yet again. I just got to Chicago and she's like you GOTTA go to Espresso & Milk, they have the best coffee. I show up and our friend @stephbian, who I'm about to be visiting, is my barista.

This Instant Pot Rice recipe is a healthier, juicier and flavor packed version of beef plov. It all comes together in 1 pot (the instant pot!) and you won't believe how quick and easy this Instant...
