It's about to get dark and dreary in Chicago so let's head inside and relax to some COOL JAZZ, our fest from 2016. AT HOME COOL JAZZ STARTER KIT: Download a copy of Flywrench and Bernband. Put on tunes from the Chicago Diamond Trio, Noah Sasso, and Bonzo Squad. Wear sunglasses indoors. Repeat.

My GDC talk about using trailers to vet and prototype game ideas is free to watch on YouTube! Got a handful of comments of people questioning me wearing a mask. Cool cool.

5 years ago, we threw our biggest event ever. Two whole days of digital and physical games, musical performances, and live special events. We took over a whole wing of the Museum of Science and Industry, bringing together a whole range of ages to experience indie art. (Photo by J.B. Spector)

I'd guess because most of Shakespeare's plots are stolen from earlier works, so they're not really the ~Shakespearean~ part.

I think there was just a disconnect about the word 'realistic'. I relate way more to Jen, the Gelfling hero of The Dark Crystal than to Jeff Bezos, but I have to acknowledge that Jeff Bezos is more realistic because he is a real alleged person.

Whoa no need to get insulting to a fellow professional artist and incredibly vivid imagination-haver. In fact I have always been disappointed by the mundanity of the GLC's constructs. They themselves are not particularly imaginative.

Batman isn't very realistic, but offering up the cops with magic rings in outer space as an alternative is pretty bold.

In theory with enough memory and enough time, existing computer hardware can approximate anything, but yeah, it might take longer than we have as a species.
