Love hanging out on the couch while my girlfriend plays Control, because she has to kill all the scary guys while I get to sit back, relax, and savor the true joy of gaming: rich environmental storytelling.

Fun fact: when a coffee shop opens in 10 minutes, and a barista is working already, that doesn’t mean they are ready to open early for you just because you’re there. It means they are getting ready to open in 10 minutes.

I saw the Child of Omelas and when it asked me to complete a survey about my experience I gave it a 10 out of 10.

If anyone saw/heard a Prius driving around Portland getting rattled apart by its subwoofers, that was me. I forgot that the beginning of “Dance Yrself Clean” is *supposed* to be quiet and didn’t realize how loud I’d turned the volume up.

I see stats like this and can't help but think about that one year when they gave all the football players vespas to ride around campus so they could rest their legs. (go terps)

The coffee shop I've been working at to rejuvenate my soul these past couple of years is closing, so I'm using this as an opportunity to move back into design full time. As such, I'm doing something VERY brave - actually figuring out what to charge for my work.

I could do a whole write-up about this era/style of web design, but my (hot?) take is that it doesn't happen without the mass piracy of Photoshop/Fireworks unleashing tons of young, new designers onto the internet. These kids of sites were basically forum signatures blown up to maximum size.

summer 2020 the cops beat up my 64 year old dad walking away from a protest wearing a "friends of trees" hoodie. all this to say i personally have trouble getting worked up over questions of appropriate social media decorum from private citizens contemporaneously responding to cop brutality

So this is my first time watching the Vuelta, and Stage 9 is making me realize that this is actually just the Grand Tour For Sickos.

Maybe I’m just a grouch, but for a group known for tongue-in-cheek subversion, making official Magic cards with public domain art and faux-xerox textures is a whack move from MSCHF.

Saw a Claude ad featuring that fucking Supafast Guy saying to stop prototyping without a design system and I think we need to pause design as a whole until everyone finishes reading “What do Prototypes Prototype?”

unfathomable that the city is being asked to hand over four hundred million bucks with virtually no information on what the blazers are planning to spend it on - and that the loudest proponents of the deal are the councilors and business leaders who otherwise complain the city is poorly managed

Sometimes I stare off into the distance thinking about how the web design aesthetics of the 2000s can ever truly be replicated now because our monitors have gotten too good.

Tom Dundon is basically becoming the Dan Snyder of Portland in record time. There's no force more unifying for a sports fanbase than hating the owner as much as you love the team (and Portland REALLY loves the Blazers)

The major highlight of yesterday’s disaster USA match was getting to watch from the pitch at Providence Park. Hope they bring this back for the Women’s World Cup. (A place I’ve been let down by soccer teams many times, so it was fitting)

Got the chance to play the first hour so of this with some friends, and when it ended we felt like a kid that didn’t want to leave the playground. We’ll be buying it on release day so we can jump back in and keep solving goofy puzzles and exploring that funky island.
