Thinking about how Outer Wilds didn't get the attention it deserved from the public because it came out the same year as the much more well-known The Outer Worlds, which confused a lot of people (myself included). And that's really a shame because the two don't have anything in common besides being space games with similar titles. The Outer Worlds is a disappointingly-average Western RPG from the folks that made Fallout: New Vegas. Outer Wilds is an exploration-based puzzle adventure, and a once-in-a-generation classic of the medium that artists, writers, game designers, and composers will still be citing as an influence 50 years from now.

So yeah if you skipped Outer Wilds because you confused it with The Outer Worlds and thought you'd already heard of it and evaluated it or even played it, consider this your official push to go play it immediately.

A million times this. I keep saying "biking" in conversations when I mean "electric biking". Electric biking is a different category of transport than biking. I do both frequently. Biking is like human + 1.5, but e-biking is human x4. The elegant piece is that you get it with such incredible efficiency: the motor is tiny relative to the power it produces.

A good cargo e-bike will carry 6-7 times its own weight.

Keeping up with my blogging, I wrote about how I ended up at the gig-of-a-lifetime after getting to work on a ticket project for Heineken as part of their "Greenlight" campaign.

Blogged! This time about my renewed interest in the Irish language and how Tito is doing its small part to participate in and encourage the Irish language revival:

Me: belting out a song while making coffee.

6yo, home from school: "Is this what you do every day?”

Me: “Yeah, pretty much"

Him: "Me too”

Public thanks and deep gratitude to Deb Ellsworth, and to everyone who has bought an Empathy Symbol pin so far. We'll be sending $700+ to The Trevor Project!!

Again, pre-orders close at end of day this Friday, May 1st, then these designs will be gone for good. http://xoxofest.com/merch

It is really good, give it a try!

Apparently "time signature YouTube" is a thing, and I'm not against that.

OooOOO. It's gonna be hard for me to _not_ go back to Helsinki this year. If I'm going back to Scotland for Haggis Ruby…

I wrote a blog post! It's been a while. A busy while. I think I'm someone who finds it very hard to be working on a product without that product becoming my singular focus. I just work on stuff until I'm all used up.

I'm hoping this one unblocks me and inspires me to write about some of the cool stuff we've been doing.
