When we were first developing @MARVELSNAP - we wondered if we could do away with a card game staple: The Mulligan. Obviously we did, but early testers hated it. We changed their perception with a single change to 1 card. 🧵

Finding good GAME DESIGN RESOURCES takes a lot of time and effort.

I’ve collected a few over the course of three decades+

@squigglybug I take (the generic version of) Effexor, which is used for both depression and anxiety. My regular doctor was able to prescribe it without any particular song or dance; I think I filled out a super-short questionnaire that was basically like "do you be depressed? Y/N"
