The amount I'm stoked I own this @play.date pizza cover is... a lot!

I climbed rocks like 30 years ago, Cairn took me back instantly. It was so nice. Well, incredibly stressful but also nice!

I still have the first videogame I ever got. And it still works. Thank you Aunt Jennie and Uncle Edwin! It does feel a bit more brittle than it did back in the day. And my skills seems to have atrophied a bit...

“Vivarium features a totally hand-drawn traditional cel-animation process—reflective of the media it’s inspired by. Every frame of the game is hand-crafted with love!” What a relief! This looks amazing.

The moment you, at 30,000 feet, headed to Los Angeles, realize you put your nose cancelling headphones in the car next to your backpack, not in your backpack. Right next to your sunglasses. If you need me in LA I'll be holding my phone to my ear and squinting, sorry.

My wife likes track balls vs mice so it's for her!

Ok I'm pretty stoked with how this turned out! Definitely a harder project than modding a GBA or Lynx!

One time I was in Ames Iowa -- pre-internet -- and we called the only taxi driver in town. He showed up with 7 chihuahuas, it was the best ride ever. We were like "how do we get a cab back to the hotel later?" and he was like "We'll find you" and he did! Kind of an awesome night!

There used to be a fascinating wetlands nature area, the Mercer Slough, that they paved over to build this line but it's still pretty cool.

You know in SimCity when you build some infrastructure and you see people kind of filling it up and using it in real time? I feel like I'm seeing that happen right now on the 2 line from Redmond to Seattle. The 2 line was a ghost town last week and now that it goes to Seattle it's packed.

When some skaters took up residence outside the ID@Xbox showcase yesterday at GDC, @jessicatronn.bsky.social hooked them up with ID@Xbox fingerboards and a limited edition High on Life x Xbox deck for Best Trick. If you're at GDC come talk to us at the Lobby Bar in South Hall and grab one too!

OMG if it's midnight and you're in some weird part of San Francisco, please don't be: a) wearing your GDC badge, b) stumbling around heads down in your mobile phone.
