Stuck on it all day managed 2 min to midnight. 2 words I'd never heard of. I'm not sure a Wordle is going to be good long term, but I'm late to the trend, so feeling it's still acceptable. Wordle 242 5/6

Facebook's vision of VR is a derivative, lifeless world full of derivative, lifeless people.

On-brand, really.

Good notes on writing, always good to reminded simple works best. I love the point about writing music https://t.co/7BqmPfpHE0

I have a Pixel 3 phone, before reading this I thought I'd upgrade to a Pixel 6 but now I'm also wondering about switching back to iPhone after 11 years https://t.co/9qvkjjfll6

Caught up with publishing #PlayfulStrategyWeekly! Today we keep on defining play as an activity from Roger Caillois' Man, Play, and Games. "Play is Unproductive," along with two ads to illustrate: https://t.co/s21im27KPt et en français là: https://t.co/uDavrZSOWT

Long delay but my latest podcast episode is finally online, and it's the 1st with an actual #TTRPG tabletop roleplaying game demo! I'm joined by Marcelo Kuhn at The Dojo for a chat about strategy, mindfulness, and the game Happy Together by @gaelsacre : https://t.co/kpYJv2NRGT

In fact, it might get quite real. There has been a lot of talk about dealing with uncertainty over the past few months. I thought I'd exhausted reading, talking, and thinking about uncertainty back in April already, but then my aunt was diagnosed with a triple cancer.

But then I thought: "Hey, why write just one inane tweet when I could write a whole thread of them?" And set my timer to 40 minutes. Time will tell how inane it all is by the end I suppose.

@ThomJames @Will_Humphrey @Dr_Draper That's sounds like a suitable blend of artistic grandeur and insider nonsense laced with the right amount of arrogance. Shouldn't the hashtag say cult? Or else how do people know it is one? 'Secret' industry award handshake perhaps?

@weareacracy Super initiative! Pour rajouter suggérer des liens, par Twitter, ou bien sur Notion? Je ne vois pas où rajouter des commentaires sur la page notion, mais je vais re-jeter un oeil. Merci!

[Willem van der Horst @Hippowill]

@eaonp Yep, pretty sure people play online / streaming. There might be a solo player option that doesn't require a live subscription but it would be missing the point.

I'm waiting for a train from the Alps back to Paris, full and quiet waiting room - aside from one quite hilarious kid playing Fortnite on his phone with buddies and shouting with his headset and mic on. He's really into it! And it's quite obnoxious too.
