@BucsLifeItIs Right I wasn’t crazy we all heard that.

@0xperk Would like to see the universal empathetic compression algo that efficiently encodes one from the other.

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@0xperk I want that to be true but I’ve never seen that before. He also did it to the screen behind him. I wouldn’t want anyone to throw their heart out to me like that I’d feel pretty weird about it. Maybe just touch your chest like a normal person?

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@0xperk What would you call it

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@justin__fischer @amydallas Haha was just remembering this. I think we are still the Taipei Mech Esports champs, nobody has told me otherwise!

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@jmacfee @mikeyface Yeah - I really enjoyed his bit role in that one.

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@jmacfee Kinda basic given your repertoire. I’ll bet it was great. Like how Mystic Pizza taught us to judge a place based on the cheese pizza.

@tch567 I have to go but thanks so much!

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@tch567 Appreciate you!

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@mattpurcell Haha just saw this, hope you’re well man! I’ll bet by now you’re saying “oh yeah I hired so-and-so” and blowing people’s minds!

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@JohnVignocchi @ShawnLayden Hope she made it to the right destination, and there’s always aspirin and raw hangover cures to be had! Miss you!

@MichaelBreed How much do people tip caddies when there’s no amount posted at the club?

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

@TaylorMcCue5 I hope by making this game experience that you comfort many players by proving they're not alone, and that you take away good things from having done it. I'm very glad to have met you, played your game, and support your creativity!

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

While creating something cathartic and revealing it can be hard to see through our isolation to recognize we're all connected. I hope that by unearthing the pain of trauma as a game experience that Taylor will find success and comfort many players by proving they're not alone.

[Taylor McCue @TaylorMcCue5]

I might not photograph well but this was an incredible moment.

He asked me to explain why I was unmarketable and I couldn't.

I told him no one wants trans games, he told me my games are about the universal human condition for any human, not just queer people.

[Aaron Thibault @aaronthibault]

I am proud to be the first investor in @TaylorMcCue5’s next game. Today @Official_GDC #IGF23 I played the very personal and emotionally impactful debut from this wonderful game developer that you can discover here (CAUTION MATURE CONTENT): https://t.co/JgtwgQcUO7

Looking forward to this year's DICE and playing again for a worthy cause and the memory of Dan Winters who left a great legacy of community and sportsmanship in the games industry.
