what was intrinsically clear to people present at the time but might not be to someone seeing this post in 2026: I'd done enough tai chi myself to do this in a way that wasn't mocking the practice itself, and was just being playful around the attitude that guy approached it with

it's funny: I also will take some time out to do exercises in the middle of a work thing, but it's *for me*. If it's not performative in this uncomfortable way, nobody will make a thing of it

super excited to solve 1000 puzzles about pushing boxes and opening doors. I love what the civilized world is offering us

I legit think 868-BACK is GOTY as much as I’ve enjoyed some other games this year. Crazy amounts of strategic depth and so many interesting interactions among the various devs and progs.
