I’m now being more active on the service we’re no longer allowed to mention here.

I was thinking of getting back into tweeting again and then that guy bought Twitter, so I went to set up a Mastodon account just in case, only to discover I already created one a few years ago: https://t.co/2Mnrs101KC

I see all those garbage 'Design Trends for 2023' clickbait articles are starting to come out again, so it's time to trot out this 4 year old strip to show that nothing ever changes (except maybe the bit about Dropbox).

The new Pokémon game looks good

Platysternon megacephalum (or big headed turtle) is a very odd-shaped turtle with a huge head and a long tail that are almost the same size as its body.

Been playing Marvel Snap and ’m really enjoying it even though I can’t stand Marvel. It’s really well designed.

Bizarrely, I’m quite good at it too and win the vast majority of my games. I’m usually absolutely terrible at multiplayer games, especially card games like this.

I understand it would be difficult to make the game more open as that would take much more time to do, so not complaining. It’s just the nature of linear story driven games. Maybe I just prefer the freedom of open world games these days.

Ragnarök is still an incredible game!

[Tom Kenny 🍵 @tkenny]

Really enjoying God of War Ragnarök but, much like the first game, certain parts are too linear and feel too restrictive.

Many paths feel like corridors as invisible walls block seemingly accessible routes.

There aren’t many things I would change but that’s top of my list.

[Game Informer @gameinformer]

For God of War Ragnarök, director Eric Williams detailed every single moment and how long it would take in one gigantic Excel document to organize the game and used it to predict the length. "The original prediction is within 10% of the final product."

Instead of telling kids not to play video games, adults should play too.

Compared to kids who don’t play, those who play 3 hrs/day have better working memory & impulse control. Experiments show cognitive benefits for adults too.

Video games are a form of exercise for the brain.

Steam's UI physically hurts me.

2 hours later and I’m hooked

[Tom Kenny 🍵 @tkenny]

Tunic is one of those games that probably isn’t really for me but too many people are saying great and intriguing things about it that I think I’m going to have to give it a go.

[Tom Kenny 🍵 @tkenny]

iOS 16’s new lock screen customisation feature is great but there definitely are some annoying UX design issues. This article explains them well: https://t.co/yH2oAfcIdG

@LKaile April for us. If your trip extends into April, we’ll have to see if we’re close enough to meet up!

[Tom Kenny 🍵 @tkenny]

Japan have *finally* announced they’re fully opening up for tourists again, so we immediately booked our flights to Japan for next year. It still doesn’t feel real!

[Tom Kenny 🍵 @tkenny]

All I want to do is go back to Japan. My wife and I were weeks away from going before the pandemic began. They still haven’t fully opened up over 2 years later and still no idea when we’ll be able to go.

[Tom Kenny 🍵 @tkenny]

@LKaile 🎉 When are you thinking of going?

If you haven’t made a meme about Adobe buying Figma, are you really a designer?

[Tom Kenny 🍵 @tkenny]

This is absolutely incredible

I remade the T. Rex breakout scene on a PlayStation.

[DESIGN THINKING! Comic @DT_comic]

In all seriousness, I've designed interfaces in Director, Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Sketch, Figma and many others. Figma is just another tool. There will be another. And then another. And another after that.

General message: Chill out and stop fetishising tools.
