I was a developer/designer/team lead on Don't Starve and Oxygen Not Included, which I'm quite proud of.
I'm on a big urbanism kick right now, let's talk about that!
🌟 feel free to comment on old posts, I like it 🌟
Okay friends: I need some book recommendations! I'm diving into the whole #urbanism thing, but coming at it as a game designer. I'm looking for awesome books to read, but especially ones that look at the models and systems of cities and how they function in the modern era.

I'm only through the intro and she's already smashed several of my held notions. This is gonna be good 😎
Okay! Starting the next one!
I'm very excited to read this! It's always mentioned everywhere and was the top rec when I asked for urbanism books.
And hooeee is it stout! 585 pages!!
I'm simultaneously thrilled that it's serious, but also intimidated. Wish me luck!
So in the neverending chain of "google screws up everything good by continuing to poke it", the "Now Playing" feature on pixel phones got a big update, and now it just... doesn't recognize songs unless I explicitly ask it? That was the whole point, that's what was great about it. Siiiigh...
