Aging was supposed to happen in base 12, not base 10.

You're actually meant to be a kid until 12, a teenager until 24, a 20-something until you're 36, and in your thirties until you're 48. Your 40s should last until you're 60.

That's why every decade milestone (30, 40, etc.) feels premature.

(Saying this as someone who was once put into a managerial role with no training, sucked at it, and ultimately went back to an IC role and never looked back)

I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

As raph koster put it, what we call "fun" is in fact learning the game.
As stanislas dehaene puts it , failing is the requirement to learning. Be prevented to fail and you can never learn.
Be prevented to fail, and you can never have fun.

I'm very very to not be there to join in! Miss you buddy!

A banner that reads "Game Workers Conference" in white text on a pink and blue background, alongside the ball and threads logo.

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?

The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️‍🔥

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

FYI for folks at home—the gardens aren’t blocked off. Now that setup’s complete, the barriers are behind the food stands for health/safety reasons.

The area will stay open the rest of the day after lunch wraps up.

they FENCED off a part of Yerba Buena? Are they checking badges? wtf

No GDC for me this year! I’ll miss everyone! 💜
