@MyNameIsJeff @mypethooligan Nice!

@rev1x0 Game on!

@leah_cb Cant confirm but can definitely believe it

At #GDC2023, I was told by someone who's been going to GDC for 20yrs+ that Casual Connect was started (circa 2008? Earlier?) because ppl in core gaming didn't want casual gaming 'ruining' GDC? Sounds legit. Is it true? Would love to hear from someone who remembers it back then.

@Its_Falcon_Time Barcelona ;)

The uber just dropped me off at the wrong terminal Looks like I’m flying international Where should I go? 🤔

@LukeD the right priorities! :)

Little Mal is still sick poor little dude. Went to the vet and we think we know what's going on but nothing for it but time. I'm probably 50/50 on making it to GDC I think 😞

@damor_eth I will indeed be there! :)

Interested in on-chain games? At GDC next week? I'm organising a get-together on Tuesday afternoon. DM me for info.

@damor_eth uncertain as to whether I'll be going or not. But would still like to meet/chat! :)

Who's at GDC? Particularly interested in meeting people who are building on-chain games, or those interested in the category.

@denkicolin @BitcoinConfUK !!

Unexpected keynote speaker at the first UK Bitcoin Conference 😂 @BitcoinConfUK

My latest "Fun & Fungibility" article is available to read now. This one discusses how tokens that are only redeemable in-game could spontaneously create real market value within a simple arcade game such as Pong. funandfungibility.substack.com/p/tokenising-a… #PlayToEarnGame #PLAYTOEARNGAMES

My latest article explores changing Pong's arcade business model to add #tokenisation and #SmartContract functionality. Both of which could have been implemented perfectly well when it launched in 1972 if Atari had wanted to. #longreads funandfungibility.substack.com/p/varying-valu…

Getting lucky is still the best business model for anyone working in creative industries. For the rest of us though, it's important to understand the role of Value Design. funandfungibility.substack.com/p/varying-valu…

My latest Fun & Fungibility blog attempts to #ELI5: #Bitcoin - specifically for non-technical audiences. Probably more of an "Explain Like I'm 15" though tbh! 🙂 funandfungibility.substack.com/p/explain-like…

My latest article in my quest to understand player property rights in games describes how I think about game design. Specifically how I split the generic 'game design' term into what I consider more useful terms. Might want to grab a cuppa for this one 🙂 funandfungibility.substack.com/p/the-game-des…

@cliffski is that the net cost?

@Tony_Gowland @CoderJames101 majestic

@Tony_Gowland the face of surprised agony

@denkicolin this is regression not progression!!

It's been a lifelong journey, but I'm pleased to report I've finally refined my 'tea' intake to its essential essence. I've gone from 2 sugars & milk to 1 sugar & milk, to no sugar & milk, to no milk. Finally, at the weekend I eliminated tea to leave only hot water. 💪🥳 AMA 😀

@denkicolin glorious!

I've been toying with recording a "Side 2" for #GrandTheftAuto's forgotten #progrock extravaganza for a while so I can do a vinyl release (with g/fold sleeve, obvs) but not sure I can be arsed tbh. Any good motivation hacks for personal projects to share? youtu.be/Gs_r6ZBn40s

@Shikaboom yay tiny human :) congrats!!

Life is slowly starting to feel a bit more normal again, just with a tiny human in tow. Leif is almost 1month old already 😵 How are you all? 👋

@domipheus crazy....

What the fuck was that
