Hiatus over; hello again Twitter. Let's talk about art, music, technology, fantasy and sci-fi, philosophy, faith, and adventure.

@garonnevik Disagree. Grew up (still) reformed, in circles that actively rejected "cultural Xianity", focused on "the Gospel". Some churches w/ > 1 pastor scandal/decade. Lesson to GenZ & millennials: "gospel-focused" church is not good for people. Culture not too strong, but too weak.

You can buy my card game Colossi on Kickstarter right now! We want to have a huge first day. Sharing is caring. Thank you, and I promise not to shill again (this week).

@johnrudolphdrex 100%. Trust leads to innovation. If people feel safe enough to learn and make mistakes, they'll be open to trying stuff that's unconventional, or solutions that they hadn't thought of themselves. Trust just keeps things moving instead of breaking down.

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@johnrudolphdrex It also means that they'll be more receptive to alternative approaches, since they'll feel like you've understood what's important and why

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@johnrudolphdrex It's one of those deep structures that does all kinds of good things that are hard to predict/quantify. For sure there are clear "transactional" benefits - you'll be on the same page re: success vs. failure. But it also builds trust, so ppl are comfortable offering new ideas, etc

Nothing feels like a video game level the way that airports do. It’s amazing.

“I’m Commander Shepard, and Cinnabon is my favorite shop in DFW”

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@johnrudolphdrex Yeah, I use it daily. With Wolfram Alpha and Code Interpreter/Data Analysis it's amazing. I do miss browsing though...for a brief moment, it was insanely powerful

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@emlybelz It's got a kind of Jeffersonian purity.

@mockingbirdmin I think far more often than the classic "just can't keep it up" Kara is the nagging question of "what is this body/spirit/moral energy even FOR" that 'low anthropology' is ill-equipped to answer

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@mockingbirdmin Seems to ignore 2 Peter 1 and much of NT. There *does* seem to be a standard of maturity Christians can and should hold each other to–which requires *some* amount of agency and ability to "partner meaningfully with God" (mysteriously provided by/in concert with the Spirit)

@Austen That's what we've been doing over at @skuidify for 10 years. SMBs up to enterprise, PubSec, DoD.

[Skuid @skuidify]

We’ve all heard the hype around AI, especially around #ChatGPT’s conversational threading capabilities. But its real power lies in its integration with other business systems. Check out some integrations using the OpenAI’s models on your own Skuid pages ➡️ https://t.co/bJUsZSbymE

@AJWTheology Been working through this for a few years since a re-read of On the Incarnation. Lots of implications for those who worship the God-Man

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@bccasteel @bccasteel That is so freakin awesome. Can't wait to play it.

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@bccasteel Haha, same. Not terribly active here. But thrilled to see you making games!

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@gobico I had some magical moments teaching my 7yo son RoZ today. First time playing and it just clicked. I don't know if I've ever seen him so happy as he was when played a triple-Boost Attack + Share + Reserve. Thank you for making such a great game.

@UnbelievableJB @UnbelievableJB have you followed any of the discussion around Jay Green's ends/means quadrant published in Current? I've found it to be a helpful mental model for this conversation. https://t.co/0GhQjbY0um

[Matthew Lane Brown @DinosaurMachine]

@methodofaction I'm a design newbie, and I'm absolutely loving your games. What am I missing though in the boolean exercises like this? I've ended in the right place, but it says I'm still wrong.
