  This week's guest is someone who puts a lot of thought into the concepts behind games. Why are we forced down one path, but not another? Do modern games truly afford the player agency to act in a manner that respects their moral code? How much world building does a developer need to accomplish a world that feels like a space where real people might live?

  I bought this keyboard in 1998 and it has been my daily driver for the last 28 years. After nearly three decades of service the right shift key has failed. No amount of cleaning will seemingly revive it. I guess it's time to pick up one of those circuit pens and get to drawing some new traces.

  I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited about this one. Bob "Dr. Macintosh" LeVitus is one of my favorite tech writers. Books, newspapers, magazines, blogs... you too have no doubt read his work. He helped folks keep the faith even in some of the darkest times! #MARCHintosh https://youtu.be/BCHMHAiCaMk

  Just a friendly Thursday reminder to NOT SUPPORT bigoted right wing grifters like this guy. Folks like this will poison your hobby if you allow them to continue to operate without any pushback. Unsubscribe, block and warn the people they're attempting to work with. Show them they're not welcome.
