Video games don't need to look better, they just need to play better.

An emoji has a coded description that gets read aloud by screen readers. Putting emoji in between text could cause confusion or make content less clear. It's best to put emoji at the end of written content.

You know how everything bad gets blamed on video games & the internet? I have a theory that it’s golf destroying our society. Few activities have such an outsized effect on the environment, public health and epitomizing the corruption of wealth & privilege. Limit and restrict access to golf.

Photo of a part of the sticker wall, near the gum wall in Seattle. A large glued poster of a cat holding a sign reads, “A.I. IS DẠTA

CREATIVITY IS TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE CAN GO.”

A little reminder that enjoying yourself is never a waste of time. Hours into a videogame isn't a waste of time. Learning something for fun isn't a waste of time. I love learning new things, I have so many I learned once and never did again. Never a waste of time.

I still don't understand the chase for hyperrealistic graphics. Not once have I played a game that aims to look like real life and thought "wow, I feel so much more immersed because of how real this looks". Snappy, responsive controls have 10000x more impact on immersion than graphics ever will imo

Animated elements, popups, jiggling icons, and spontaneous modals can distract users from tasks. To help users focus on important content and functionality, avoid anything that would distract a person's attention away from the main content or functionality.

You can't demand teachers hold advanced degrees, manage complex classrooms, & maintain state licensing, then tell them they aren't "professionals" on a federal checklist. Leaving K12 education off the Ed Dept’s professional list is a massive misstep. Teaching is a profession. Period. #EduSky #CSEd
