It’s cold out. It’s cold enough to freeze any simile or metaphor. Not that it’s the coldest it’s ever been. But cold enough to freeze any grammatical phrase. #wriing #life

Stating your position/opinion doesn’t mean you have a logical reason, only an opinion or belief. #life #failure

Arguing involves emotion. Debating involves logic. Too bad, most have never taken a logic course. #life #failure #logic

You’ll know when AI takes over, when all the dev/programming/design/art conferences and conventions are gone, especially when run by AI. #A #onference #convention #failure #programming

If the tasks you perform day-in and day-out never change, you are in a rut. That’s ok, if you’re dull and boring or you can never change. #life #failure #gamedev

What if a game loop kept changing and kept you thinking? Predictability in games is like being cozy in your life, even if the game isn’t cozy. #game #gamedev #failure #lif

You don’t need to be perfect to make an improvement. #life

If you can’t’ have fun (at your expense), you aren’t. #life

I’m doing something weird. If you come up to me at C3 and say “I want a free book.” No alterations.) I’ll give you a book. if you say, “I want to get drunk,” I’ll buy you a drink (your choice–one.). Assuming you aren’t already or near being drunk–my call. #writing #reading #books #mdc3con

I’m sort-of intrigued by Pokémon. But all the games are pretty rote/blah. #gamdev #pokemon

What book influenced you, but you can’t put the influence into words. For me, there are many. “The American” comes to mind, but not for the reasons you may think. #book #reading #life

I think it’s time. Thank you. IF you still follow me, interact, read my books, find me thought-provoking, or somewhat humorous. I appreciate your tenacity.

Never look for things that match your expectations. Look for those that subvert or turn it into chaos. That is where growth, knowledge, and understanding live. #life #success

Writing isn’t so much about revealing character, as it is about either affirming or subverting it. #writing

If someone tells you to “hang tight” they are telling you to remain stressed. #life #failure
