❓ Is my time being spent well in the eyes of the investor?
✅ No? Then I’m an embarrassment.

If you’re not working until you’re numb, you’re not living up to your potential.

❓ Am I exhausted, or tired?

This is simply not the case - a website is a living breathing thing that needs its fire strategically fed if you want it to succeed.

Remember when we were comparing the zoomed in eyeballs of Aloy from Horizon and Senua from Hellblade 2?

I've never once zoomed in on the eyeball of a character and thought "Yep, this game sucks"
