Quotes (from this video)
  • I used to flip the table a lot but now I don't flip the table nearly as often as what I used to
  • I think game designers buy fewer games than game players do because game designers have more exacting standards
  • I don't think there's anything wrong with you determining for yourself what games you like more and which ones you like less that doesn't make you a snob I think the snobbery comes into play on how you treat other people who don't share your same interests
  • I think you can get caught up in Chasing The Cult of the new and that will burn you out I think over time I don't think that can be a sustainable Joy
