Quick intro 📌 :
I’m Phil Tibitoski, cofounder + President + CEO @younghorses.com. We made Octodad, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Bugsnax, and Bugsnax The Card Game. Used to do community building stuff too, but my new goal is making sure my two kids are kind and considerate which takes up a lotta time. 🐛🐞

Hard part about work life balance is worrying about having gone too far in the other direction and not knowing enough about what’s going on in the zeitgeist.
I used to know what everyone was talking about and worried about. Now I don’t go anywhere or talk to people above the age of 3.5 much.

None of my group chats are through sms or iMessage. Even with people I’ve known for like 30 years it’s usually a 3rd party service.
I’ve noticed my younger siblings seem to use iMessage a lot more.

an interest or hobby I have is watching a comedian or celebrity do the podcast circuit and paying attention to how their conversations and stories change depending on who they’re talking to and what kind of show it is

The Steam Machine has been delayed (from Q1 to H1, so maybe only a month or three) and Valve is going to have to reset pricing expectations entirely. Dang.

Valve’s Steam Machine has been delayed, and the RAM crisis will impact pricing
You’ll have to wait a little longer for Valve’s new hardware.
