Genuinely the most exciting TV show news in years for me

Read this far? Good.

I don’t do any of this - and you probably shouldn’t either.

Have a great rest of your day. 💀

❓ 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.

Get with the program.

The next time you stop working, ask yourself...

❓ Am I exhausted, or tired?
✅ Tired isn’t tired enough.

❓ Am I burning out?
✅ Good, now you’re starting to get it.

If you’re not producing value for random strangers, are you really doing what you should be?

Forget the kids. Forget the relationships. Forget the fun.

You aren't here for that.

You're here to produce value for shareholders — and maybe (if you're lucky) become one yourself.

That means while you're enjoying almost 100 hours of time off, someone else is stomping on your dreams.

They're picking up where you left off, doing the things you weren’t willing to.

Why stop at 996?

There are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week — that’s 168 hours.
996 only uses 72 of them.

Your competitors are always gunning for your spot on Google, Google's updates can tank your rankings overnight, and some things take time (ie Domain Authority).

If your business relies on organic leads from your website, and you're not taking care of it, it won't take care of you.

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.

The biggest website killer? Thinking technical SEO is enough.

So many of my clients commission me to make a website that they then expect to rank on the number 1 spot on Google for life.

This is not what I meant 😂

Nothing like waiting over a decade for a new game in a series to come out, only to have our hopes dashed by a lacklustre or maybe even disastrous launch.

Let the devs cook 👨‍🍳

Fable title card

I'm happy that Fable got delayed ⏳

With the mainline series not seeing the light of day since Fable 3 (2010), any extra time put toward making the series' comeback the best it can be is absolutely welcome.

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"

🧵 2/2

Artwork from the game Avowed on Game Pass

I find the consistent "controversy" over every game release exhausting

Is Avowed good? Bad? Absolute trash? A masterpiece?

Used to be able to tell generally from reviews (I realize it's all subjective), but man, every game seems to have a controversy these days...

Microsoft Copilot desktop app asking to turn on the keyboard shortcut Alt + Space to talk to it anytime.

Not the same keyboard shortcut as ChatGPT 😅

What happened to Win + C?

I should rename myself "Matt Lawrence Copilot"

If they ever make a "Nosferatu" sequel, it'll be a missed opportunity if it's named anything but "Nosfera2"

This Sora video makes me think of those fake mobile game ads

Push notifications that don't clear when clicked and only open the app instead of where the notification is from are diabolical

I'm on a quest to lower the amount of push notifications I receive on my phone

The sheer amount of categories and notification types some apps have is astonishing.

You shut one or two off and the others start chiming in more often, conveniently

All this family time the past couple days has really taught me the true meaning of B2B sales
