This can be said of all the DesignersRepublic stuff as well but I think it's fun that Marathon's modern take on it and contemporary trends in sneaker design both have these biotech elements in the middle of their venn diagram

Marathon's art direction is one of the best out there right now (and after playing a bit of the alpha I am excited for it) but I also have to call it like it is: an aesthetic designed to appeal to people who collect sneakers

Haha nice! I guess the only other things I have strictly under that limit are Despelote which you probably also have played, and Bits and Bops, which is delightful but maybe less surprising!

In 2025 I put up a full year calendar that I designed and this is how it turned out at the end of the year! I really enjoyed having the analog ritual and love looking at the entirety of it. I'm excited to do it again in 2026!!!

Can you solve a puzzle without knowing the rules?
For the first week of January, I'm publicly sharing the experimental beta of Scriddle - a daily puzzle where the rules are kept secret. I'd love to know how many guesses it took you to solve it.
