@Christopher_Odd I was contacted yesterday by a recruiter for Compulsion Games; my reaction: Oh, Christopher Odd loves you guys! :-D

In answer to your May 5th poll: Grounded, by Obsidian, is putting on the finishing touches, and it's a real treat to go through with 1 partner.

@NortonJuster1 How pleasing it is that you still live and write. I read The Phantom Tollbooth when I was very young (43 now), and I gift copies of it out whenever I can. I'm guessing you must have felt that the book wrote itself; it is a window to a world.

@JustinTrudeau , your public addresses have been heartening. As gauche as it is to suggest COVID is a good thing, the crisis has spurred you to show your strength of character, and lead Canada as a compassionate and responsible world citizen. Stay well, boss. We love you.

My company, Iugo Games, is hiring: https://t.co/8LhjTeS5LJ . We already have an amazing crew, and we're growing. Get in on the ground floor -- er, second floor, of our office near Vancouver's Main Street.

Information is a strange thing; the more you have, the more confused you can be.

Thank you for the Iugo mention in your recent Vancouver studio article, @om_wallach .

@PeopleFunGames has this ad for all its products that is simple but clever. It demonstrates, "humans are naturally smart; here is a game naturally smart people would enjoy!"

@keefstuart MatPat of GameTheory has opened my eyes to the existence of game stories that leave the boundaries of the games: FNAF, Fortnite, Doki Doki Literature Club.

@robdaviau , a legacy game is a cultural event; it's like "that TV series" that people can't believe you've not seen. It's a layer on living that one can feel lucky they chanced upon. Also, importantly, you realized the idea with stellar writing and design. Thank you.

[James Byron Pede @TheManxTurtle]

@robdaviau , my brother and a family friend just completed Seasons 1&2 of Pandemic Legacy. Stunning -- but more than that, I think with this concept, you've changed mankind for the better. Permit me a 2nd tweet to say why..

@deantak Good day, Dean! Has news crossed your desk about The Walking Dead: Road To Survival this week?

[James Byron Pede @TheManxTurtle]

@deantak @VentureBeat Great interview, Dean. And kudos to Seriously for their success. They seem like interesting people.

#joemenosky, this is late, but thank you for #darmok. Earth in 2018 is like the alien society of that story, with our love of pop culture and memes. (Isn't that great?)

@koadw , care-of Diandian Interactive Holding: Your Tapjoy advertisement has been accidentally merged with Guns Of Glory in TWD:RTS video lineup. I mailed TJ on your behalf. No need to thank me. :-)

Hey folks, any recommendations on dealing with / mitigating lower back pain (stretches, tips, at-home activities) for someone who has to work fulltime on a laptop?
