@ryanmouquegolf Palm Meadows represent!

I play there often enough to know the timer does not improve the pace of play on a Sunday afternoon! Haha

But other times are pretty good. Is it due to the timer? Maybe.

As a player I don't appreciate feeling under pressure like that tho.

Imagine telling someone in 1999…

The year is 2026.

The President is Donald Trump in his second non consecutive term.

The richest man in the world is PayPal cofounder Elon Musk… but not because of fintech or Paypal. Because of rockets, electric cars, AI, satellites, brain chips and something called “Boring Company”.

Apple is worth trillions but its main business isn’t computers… its selling glass rectangles everyone stares at for 9 hours a day.

People don’t watch TV. They watch teenagers explain geopolitics, finance, and relationship advice in ~60 second videos.

The biggest taxi company owns no taxis.
The biggest hotel company owns no hotels.
The most powerful media companies are social networks where everyone argues with strangers for free.

Kids are making millions filming themselves playing video games.

AI Robots write emails, code, legal memos, songs, essays, and breakup texts.

The internet is mostly bots arguing with humans who are trying to prove they aren’t bots.

You can summon a car, groceries, a doctor, a date, a private jet, or a dog walker from your phone.

People pay real money for invisible currencies, digital monkeys, AI girlfriends and pictures that disappear after 24 hours.

The richest companies in the world don’t sell oil, steel, or cars. They sell attention, compute, data, and addiction.

And somehow, after all of that everyone is still using Excel.

My 2nd solo dev game is coming soon. It is a very normal golf game.

Petrol and diesel cars fought for their lives in Norway but, as you can see, that old technology has now lost the battle to EVs forever and I love that's happening here too.
Being able to witness the end of an automotive era and the start of a new one in real time is honestly pretty cool and it's a privilege to have a front row seat.

Wordless Forest - a live action video game! I love the creative commitment from the dev, and it sounds like a lot of fun to play https://t.co/Z7NaYwxvQG

When she appears, the time rewinds - the most sacred, most tragic.

Snow Kiku's beauty hides a powerful and selfless mechanic: she can erase a failure, but she must pay with her own life.

Would you sacrifice yourself for the good of the forest?

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

Easily digestible graphs. Nice.

[Joseph Allen @j_g_allen]

Incredible study. Also shows most of the gains happen at 5 MET hours per week. To help people understand what that actually means for them, I had Gemini convert this to hours per week. (doesn't take much, folks!)

Proof #256 that #gamedev is a lie:
(the level transition we used in Go Mecha Ball is literally just a horn-shaped mesh spinning or scaling.)
