Not really a life hack but you can just steep mint leaves instead of getting mint tea and it's like 1/8th the price

New blog post! A design analogy for being a little kinder: richardatlas.com/2025/09/13/d...

Trying to put the graphic design learnings to use working on the Montreal Games Week branding 🤘🏻 (very much not a graphic designer but working on it! And no the red isn't actually that bright don't worry)

Lez goooooooooo 🤘🏻👀🤘🏻

Our next game dev chat: Richard Atlas (@richmakesgames.bsky.social) from @clevendeavgames.bsky.social on how he swapped architecture for building games that craft digital, physical, and emotional spaces! 🐔🐴 Read → www.weloveeverygame.... #IndieDev #GameDesign #GameDev

New demo of our game with some major gameplay changes! Try it and tell your friends 😎

Look I drew a duck!

Is there such thing as trying to avoid bias TOO much in interviews? ...Wearing the same basic shirt to all three interviews so that someone doesn't, for example, comment on my band shirt and I like them more for it

Best question on our management feedback form: What's the most annoying thing about your boss? What do you complain to your partners/friends about: "ugh my boss always does _____ and it's really annoying!" Obviously employee's answers are going to be toned down, but it's been very revealing!

Our lovely Rat friends just launched their game!! Been eagerly watching their progress on Kickstarter 👀

Still 3 days to back this important project by @anima-interactive.com on @kickstarter.com ! The game tells the stories of migrants and their harrowing but hopeful journeys across the southern US border: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...

Really glad to be able to support this amazing initiative 💜

Hey look Ultimate Chicken Horse is on Game Pass @gamepass.xbox.com ! 🐔🐴 #uch #gamepass #xbox

Sometimes I do love the internet.

On my way to the #XPSummit, come say hi if you're here and/or if you see me! 🤘🏻

Does drinking out of a mug with my own name on it make me a psychopath? Found this mug and I have no idea where it's from or why I have it but it was the perfect size for my oolong 😭

I got a cool Atari shirt at PAX 🕹️🤩

Updating the build in the hotel room an hour before the expo 😬 if that's not indie I'm not sure what is (Changes made by our lovely devs, not me)

So many cool things at PAX that I don't need 😭😭 Like these amazing books from @mistymountaingames.com where they will refill them with paper when you finish them 😍

Love that Ben & Jerry's can be a business expense

If you're at #paxeast come see our booth! Ultimate Sheep Raccoon in full swiiing 🐑🦝🚲

Not sure if everyone knows this but if you press ctrl + ; it opens up an emoji window so you can put them anywhere in any typing application. Only Windows shortcut worth remembering (other than Win+shift+S).

One of my fave lines in a song: "Grab the bull by the horns, the old adage goes. Nobody tells you where to go from there" (From Atreyu - Becoming the Bull)

Hey look it's me!

Great article from Peter Attia about the shortcomings of the most recent US dietary guidelines: "... are meant to help those at more imminent risk of nutrition-related health problems, not to help any given individual attain maximal possible health." peterattiamd.com/new-dietary-...

This is why we make games! Just discovered Wonderputt Forever through @weloveeverygame.bsky.social and it's truly a reminder that games are art. Thank you @dampgnat.bsky.social !🧵↓ store.steampowered.com/app/1766540/...

I don't really watch TV so I don't know if they're all like this but damn Severance is SO GOOD (just finished season 1)

YES it's happening, only 9 years after PC launch 😂 Really excited for this, we've been working with @noodlecake.bsky.social for a while now and it's looking and feeling good 🔥

Tip for people at #GDC who are running around too much from meeting to meeting: speak notes from meetings into GPT and have it summarize your rambling 😎 then paste that whole thing into notes to review later!

Our panel starts in 10 minutes! Come to room 2005 in Moscone West to learn about leadership in crisis 👀

If you're in SF for #GDC2025, highly recommend checking out Vital Tea Leaf in Chinatown 🍵

Changing the "read aloud" voice in ChatGPT to the dramatic British man is one of the better decisions I've made

The perfect overlap of humbleness, cats and psytrance. This guy gets it.

Get games, give to charity, help victims of the California wildfires! What's not to like (except the wildfires)

The first public demo of Ultimate Sheep Raccoon will be free on Steam, Feb 21-23! 🏁 Two racetracks 🎮 Online & local multiplayer 🎉 Wild racing shenanigans Read more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/2923350/view/541096903480181602

The Queerness and Games conference is looking for speakers and games to showcase! Montreal, Sep 26-28 😸 www.qgcon.org/cfp

So glad we have someone like Amanda Askell working on the future of AI. Excellent @lexfridman.bsky.social podcast including her and others from Anthropic!

Got and framed my excellent prints from @helveticablanc.bsky.social Excited to put them up! 🤩

Just donated to the Good Food Institute! They seem to be doing cool things and seem legit based on my research: gfi.org I'm certain we're going to look back in 50 years and be apalled at how we used to raise animals just to kill them for meat (Not a vegetarian, but still think eating meat is weird)

So I started Balatro and I think I get it

The Clever Endeavour team attended GAMERella Game Jam! CEO @richmakesgames.bsky.social made a non-Chicken Horse game, and Programmer Austin was a mentor for all the gamejammers. Thanks for having us, and good job to everyone that participated!

Leadership styles and how to put them into practice — new notes from leadership roundtables are up! richardatlas.com/2024/12/14/l... See I don't only post random food things. #gamedev #leadership

Pickled onions make everything infinitely better 🤤 and make me want to take pictures of my food

Y'all what should I play?? PC, controller game, single player, indie-ish that won't take 2000h to finish. Or do I just try Balatro finally

I know it's extremely not topical but this soundtrack is just excellent 💛 open.spotify.com/album/1XdgIQ...

Been trying to figure out how to make more time for game dev in my schedule, so I'm tracking my time hella closely. This was announcement week so it's a bit odd, but it's really helping me understand what the heck I do. Lesson 1: I have way too many small chunks and not enough big chunks of time.

I made a pack for Montreal Game Studios: go.bsky.app/EDJw8P1 Let me know who I missed! 😄

✨ OUR NEW GAME IS ANNOUNCED 🐑🦝 please wishlist and tell your friends!! store.steampowered.com/app/2923350/...
