Oh you use a notes app?
Well, iiiiiiiโm a romantic. I use a system of three notebooks for scratch ideas, world building and outlines and then compile them into a cleaner notebook in case I have to show someone else those notes.

- mechanics that encourage creative/lateral thinking (rather than one clear meta)
- level design that is curated with flow in mind.
- game modes created to suit levels, rather than vice versa.
For me? Yes. I loved that game. Online especially. Probably the most fun Iโve ever had with a battlefield tbh.

Hell of a memory. Keep an emergency bag.
My wife teases me about it sometimes, but Iโve kept a little 3 day emergency kit since I was a kid.
I was six during the Northridge earthquake. I remember waking up and seeing a crack in the ceiling, a dresser thrown across the room and flipped over.
Man, these floods in Texas are insane. I hope everyone in the flash flood zone is evacuated by now, but evacuated or not - be safe!

In an era where people say they want more of thing they love sometimes just selling that isnt enough. We discuss sequels in this weeks yovg podcast! youtu.be/MOfUAtxixcw

If you havenโt played it yet: it is worth every cent.
Microsoft cutting 9k jobs means games will be getting cancelled. Could mean studios being closed, as well. Weโll have to wait and see.
All around just a shit day for the industry.
Heโs my choice for a young Indiana jones if they ever brought it back and didnโt try to make Indy a super hero. Heโs got plenty of charm.
My gripe for bond is I donโt want a young bond. He could put the muscle on for it for sure though.
It sounds to me like they are going after Tom Holland tbh.

For fun, hereโs my top three most interesting casting choices for Bond:
Dev Patel
Andrew Koji
Barry Keoghan
Same, actually.

A photo of my dog, buried under the covers and dead asleep, mere seconds before I jump on him and we wrestled.
Every morning for the last four years, my alarm clock body slams me one minute before my phone goes off.
