Michael Williams

Pagliacci [watching footage of his own show]: This isn’t bad. Areas to improve, but overall, it works. Huh. It’s funny, I avoided this for so long. I was afraid of taking stock of myself. And I was so focused on the road ahead, I never stopped to consider how far I’d come. Thank you, doctor

That's a really clever response, and I love how it was done in-universe.

But what if graphic designers need a flag?

The onion keeps going! I’m still chipping away at it!

While it will be challenging to use to eat your food, I feel like there is a very clear choice here.

That’s a very solid use for a Beyblade!

Shawna: “Hmmm ‘Beyond Yoga’… what *is* beyond yoga?”
…
Shawna: “Yoaga!”

Me, On a Pathfinder 2e video call: “I don’t know… I like Tron, but I’m not sure I want a New Tron Star”

From the other room: “…what? …what!?!”

Shawna, slamming open my office door: “MICHAEL WILLIAMS DID YOU JUST SAY WHAT I THOUGHT YOU SAID!?!!”

🎵A PLACE THAT ONLY LOVERS KNOW 🎵

Sometimes I’m making big progress, other times I’m bouncing off the walls of rooms 😂

I don’t know that anyone can be wrong about not liking a creation. Folks are allowed to not like chocolate/alcohol/bands/etc. While enjoyers of thing may not endorse that dislike, they also shouldn’t be offended.

For me they are fine, and while they aren’t on any of my playlists I’ll listen if they come up. I enjoyed them more when I was younger.

I’m liking this for you, but I’m still also liking TMBG on occasion.

So it turns out that amazing video game fantasy/sci-fi concept artists can also be amazing Lego artists:

I loved it so much

I feel like game production can map to general Product Management pretty well? The advantage game production has is that you have to navigate a lot of disciplines (art, business, engineering) and I think that skill set translates.

That’s really classy looking!

Every so often we hear Xena wheezing and are concerned…then we discover she’s choking herself once again with the edge of her cat tree.

Now I want Sonic Crosswords Racing, where you compete to solve word puzzles the fastest.

Ding Tea in Juanita does a Vietnamese egg coffee, which is thematically similar, though there are actual eggs involved in that one.

Heroes aren’t born, they are found in the prize packet at the bottom of a cereal box!

Shawna has literally never seen me without my goatee. The risk there is terrifying.

I feel like Main Street has a nice feel, and if a bunch of the new retail space beneath office building get filled out with more cheap food or cheaper retail it could feel better.

I cannot stress enough just how good this game is.
