Was fun to hang out and chat. 🙏 Thanks for having me on the show @justinkan!
Huge thank you to Dennis Fong (aka @thresh) for coming onto Secret Stash this week!
Dennis has had an insane career, from being the first pro gamer to a 5-time CEO.
Definitely worth a listen 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=-QCHXT3U…

.@thresh has many “firsts” to his name - first pro gamer, first influencer and more. Now his company Good Games Well Played is successfully combating toxicity in games. A great conversation with @FATAL1TY mentor and @elonmusk competitor this week! youtu.be/DUn6C4m9DCA

End of an era. @E3 will always hold a special place in my heart as it was where the finals were held when I won @ID_AA_Carmack's Ferrari in a Quake tournament in 1997. GGWP @E3.

We’re 5 days away from John @Romero and John Carmack (@ID_AA_Carmack) talking all things #DOOM👹 for its 30th anniversary. Join me THIS SUNDAY, Dec. 10, at 8pm GMT, as I moderate discussion between two industry legends around one of the world’s most influential games.
FWIW, I can confirm @elonmusk played a lot of Quake so it’s legit. We played on the same kitty1.stanford.edu servers often.
I believe your handle was Zip2, right @elonmusk? Our mutual friend @BrandenSpikes might be the good player he was referring to

Sharing a list of approaches that #gamedev can use to boost player spend & engagement for liveops games. Each approach comes with its psychological basis, example titles for reference, and manipulation potential for ethical design considerations.
Excited to share soon what we've been working on at @Forge.
