I miss the twitter feature where people’s profile would include their location. I’m going to Toronto soon and I don’t have a way to stalk my friends and check if they live there….

When a menu has a neat little tween. Or a character has a funny little animation. Somebody out there spent days making that little detail perfect. And when you’re playing a game you’re blasted with like 50 of these little things per minute. Games are so rich with human life! It’s awesome!!!

Had the privilege of being a tester for big walk and I can corroborate that it’s an amazing, special game. A “play together with your friends” game made with tremendous thought and care and authenticity, so well crafted it ruined other co-op games for me. Get a group together, you won’t regret it!

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.
