There is a Venn diagram that involves Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and @davidwain.bsky.social but I’m unsure what occupies the middle.

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...

For a while I've been noodling on a taxonomy of decision types. I'm not convinced it's fully baked, but I already have been using it successfully in my design process, so I thought I might share it here in its current form. At the moment there's 5 types.

Crokette is a mini-crokinole game that I’ve been working on for a while now. It’s literally just crokinole but smaller. And way cheaper. Also, to honor the Hilinski brothers I’ve made the laser cutter files and plans free on the site. www.crokette.info

Played Orloj at Pax East and didn’t realize I liked it as much as I apparently did, as I’m still thinking about it.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

this is the first time in my life i’ve seen a “tracker action” pipe organ. it uses thin strips of cedar (!) to mechanically pull open pipe valves when you press the keys. i got to play it a little bit! lower notes were harder to press because the valves are bigger!! analog. i love this so much. 😍

This is horrendous. Working with the Harry Potter IP was a decision they made. Even if there are contracts that require them to release N editions over Y years… guess what? THEY COULD HAVE TORE THEM UP.

14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome. I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck. Today that same company -- now called Vox Media -- sold Polygon to Valnet.

Hah, Zynga just ripped off my game Typeshift (www.puzzmo.com/game/typeshift). Undoubtably their version will be way more addictive and manipulative. Totally legit to take inspiration, tho I do wish they hadn't ripped off the lock aesthetics. Typeshift is playable on Puzzmo if you want to try it!

The 1% evade $163B in taxes per year. Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes from 2018 - 2022 & 2024. Billionaires can write off the cost of their private jets and yachts. While undocumented immigrants paid $96B in taxes in 2022. The more you look into it, the crazier it gets.
