Cabel Sasser, Panic - XOXO Festival (2024)
YouTube video by XOXO Festival
www.youtube.com
I gave a talk at the final XOXO conference.
At first, I thought I'd revisit my first talk from ten years ago. But it turned into something different. Something about life, and art, and… McDonalds?
19 minutes. Try to go in without spoilers and watch until the end. 🙏

when macOS 26 added menu item icons, i checked the HIG immediately.
it had two pieces of advice, one of which was: "not all menu items need an icon […] don't add icons for the sake of ornamentation."
but… i mean… then when do you… how do you decide? aren't they all ornamentation? please, help us!

In 2025 IP fully conquered the theme park
Preexisting IP has always been a part of the American theme park, but the scales have tipped fully in its favor.

I waited for some downtime to play Time Flies (timeflies.buzz) and I'm glad I did. It's a quietly amazing thing—charming, clever, tender, and funny, and that's all before the final act hits you unexpectedly in the gut. A game that makes me want to make games, and my favorite in a long time.
Time Flies – A game about our limited time in this world.
Available now for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Steam, Epic Games Store, and Mac App Store. A game by Michael Frei and Raphaël Munoz, produced by Playables.

what i will say: playdate catalog likely wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for stripe connect, and stripe is one of the only tech companies i actually tespect. it’s so cool that they made this for us.
what i want to say: i think they brought in a special camera lens to fit my enormous head in the frame

the very kind folks at stripe — our good (corporate) friends who power the financial parts of playdate and playdate catalog — stopped by our office and made a nice little playdate video for us.
thank you stripe! onward to 2026!
