today’s the day! my book, stream big, is out now! it tells the story of twitch through the lens of nine different streamers large and small. it’s the product of five years of research, reporting, and writing, and I’m really proud of it

Bring back turning into sweet little old men that slowly developed a joy for sucking on hard candy and sitting in a rocking chair. Today’s olds are getting way too rich and far too maniacal.

if tim and palmer really believed in spirited debate and academic rigor, they would each give me $1 million to test if I'd actually use it to disappear forever and mindlessly consooom

with sloppy (but convincing enough) AI vibeclones on the rise, developers now face a future in which a steady stream of pre-release videos, demos, and playtests—the only reliable way to promote and build community—could be their game’s undoing

It’s insane to see how many people don’t understand how BDS works, quoting this “what about the game being available on Windows” as a gotcha. Boycotting Xbox campaigns is HOW you pressure Microsoft. I urge you all to go to BDS movement website to actually read and understand.
