Writer @Penn. Words move; words matter. They shake and they stir; they promise and persuade. The challenge? To make them count.

@NewYorker Except I don’t think this is just nostalgia. Millions of people still play Mario games and Nintendo iterates on them constantly.

There's something in God of War Ragnarok which is the most special to me. I got to pitch it and the team made it into everything I could have hoped.

I had hoped to wait for some time to talk about it but want to share it now, just in case.

It's the Ballad of Jari and Somr.

Such an inspiring backstory for her career. “When Sept. 11 happened, I sat in my office and watched the Pentagon burn from my window,” she says. “I think 9/11 impacted a lot of people in different ways. ... But what inspired me was the work of the first responders.”

#EldenRing Twitter: Can someone tell me what this glowing gate symbol on the left side of my screen is supposed to indicate?

@Flynnneil @The_Katbot I’d like to add that it’s not just a matter of “How long does this take to do?” It’s also the cost of skilled labor and trusting someone with your brand. Which, I’d argue, certainly warrants more than 20 bucks.

The @ICAPhiladelphia's latest exhibit/residency explores the merits of existing art infrastructure. Says Artistic Director Linda Goode Bryant on the matter: “Why are we still looking at art in rectangular rooms painted white?” https://t.co/EaEzc3NnYT

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTA I have seen this on the BSL, but 95 percent of the time it's the Market-Frankford Line headed eastbound. Honestly, I've witnessed it during rush hour, so I can't even tell you it's an off-hours occasion.

[Brandon K. Baker @bakerboy92]

@SEPTA, not sure if you're aware of this, but you have a major cigarette-smoking problem on your train cars. I chalked it up to being a one-off at first, but as a commuter I've noticed it nearly every day.

@ZachariusD @andreh The SP doesn't fit that at all, though. The form factor and backlight were major changes back in the day.

@TheOutlawArtist No. Lol
