ATL. Not since we debuted Age of Empires 2 at E3 1998 have I personally witnessed such an incredibly positive hands-on reception to a new game. What a great show, thanks for having us Dreamhack! 🥰

Farcaster is just more fun than Twitter these days. Warpcaster is a better app and user experience. It's also an amazing platform for building cutting-edge social apps. Lately I find myself spending way more time over there and less on here. Join me!

Conservatives tend to care most/only about the APPEARANCE of propriety. It’s so hypocritical. It’s also fact. Go look up which states have the highest rates of divorce, underage pregnancy, addiction. You’ll find overwhelming correlation to conservative viewpoints in those areas.

Wait, so… Grok can “train” (ie leverage without consent or attribution) any web content created by others and then monetize that service, but no other LLMs are able to train on X’s data because you own and wall-off everything we build and post here. Got it 🫡

The "child abduction/rescuing" fantasy on gross display here is actually quite terrifying. Especially since this group of folks, statistically speaking, tends to fantasize about the thing they secretly find most appealing (i.e. )

Do you know how hard it is to create a hit game and IP? Now imagine the impossibility of building a company that can turn out hit after hit after hit, across *multiple* beloved franchises, taking huge risks leading new genres, inventing new platforms, pushing the entire industry…

As game developers, if we’re being honest, Tears of the Kingdom is basically an impossibility. It just shouldn’t be feasible to build a game this *vast*. With this much content, this much gameplay, this much endless player agency. On a Switch no less! Nintendo is simply operating…

The more I’ve learned about and now met the
@AxieInfinity
team, the more excited I am for them. Yes they’ve had an insane ride of web3 ups and downs, but they’ve hung on and through it all they’ve continued to build fun and value for their community. We’re rooting for y’all!
Axie Infinity will be rolling out on the Apple App Store in 8 countries.
Opinions of the game aside, this is a huge step forward for the industry.

Building in web3 is *extremely* difficult. Certainly one of the most challenging platforms I’ve ever built a game for in my own career, and that’s saying something! (Hi PlayStation 2).

Which is why he’ll never do it. He’s just running the trump/bully-gaslighting playbook now. Cry persecution, blame everyone else for your failures, threaten pretend lawsuits, become the ultimate victim, appeal to the worst parts of humanity. It’s as pathetic as it is predictable.

I love how everybody is talking about "Pokémon + ______" is the best idea now... 🥰
I've been obsessed with Pokémon since playing Red on my Gameboy back in '98. Coincidentally, the same year I officially became a gamedev, working on a brand new franchise called Age of Empires.…

“Gamers don’t want web3” is false. “Gamers do want web3” is false. Gamers just want GREAT GAMES. That’s it. I promise you. There is no greater “utility” than FUN.

Day 2 with the Apple Vision Pro. It actually IS the “iPhone of VR” moment we’ve all been waiting for 🤯

Think about your all-time favorite video games. I'm talking about those games you play when all you want is fun, when work is over and it's time to just kick back and play... Now think about what happens when even just a *single* web3 game gets to that level. It's coming.

My favorite thing about the latest Zelda games is that they feel like a giant *multiplayer* game that we’re all playing as single player instances. They’ve leaned SO hard into the creative problem solving aspects, EVERY adventure turns into a unique story about how YOU overcame…

Web3 gaming is starting to get some love and I'm convinced that it's the sector with the highest upside in the next cycle. It's good to be prepared. NFA of course, I hold assets myself
