Was great to get to show this game and for it to actually do everything I hoped it would over the course of the weekend. (Including some saying “that’s not a game!”) But especially lovely to get these kind words. Thanks Mike!
However my personal highlight was getting to play @cdiffin.bsky.social’s Invisible Casino. If you ever get a chance to play this in person, do not pass it up. An incredible and thoughtful combination of immersive theatre and game design, Chris is a delight as well.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

Randomly found this on our computer desk growing up (thanks dad?) not knowing it would be one of the most important games I ever played. Very excited to get into these.
