I like fluffy things and lovely people and playing games and tinkering with things I’m just not clever enough to do for a living.

Last night I was asked to reshare a talk I did back in 2017, which didn't get filmed the many times I gave it.
Let's do it as a thread. I've not done an informational thread on here before, interested to see how folks like it.
(forgive obvious stuff, it was ever so slightly fresher 8 years ago)

I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews on games along the lines of “this isn’t exactly what I wanted, even though it was exactly what was promised”.
I can’t overstate how much more joy you will have if you allow art to unfurl in front of you, instead of demanding it be what you imagine you want.
