This feels like the perfect moment to remind people about The Looker, which is scientifically better than The Witness. Hope we get something new from Subcreation Studio with OotSS threatening release.

Kathryn is one of the most dedicated and passionate gamedevs I know (and a terrific friend to boot). Any team would be lucky to have her.
Unfortunately, I was part of the layoffs today at Meta, and will be seeking a new role.

Happy coincidental timing of seeing Mark and Eric for dinner tonight: today is (to the day!) the 10-year anniversary of my soccer retirement.
