"Clichés are boring" Me when the main character pushes past all obstacles because of the indomitable human spirit.

You can tell when a game is made by people who love what they do.

goated man just goated
Eiji Aonuma, a lead developer on the Zelda series since 1998, believes Nintendo not doing mass layoffs is a key part of their success. He says keeping very long-term employees who can teach junior devs has "a real benefit" and helps Nintendo make truly great games.

this is going to be a banger

Getting just a taste of the life that you could have makes you want to work harder for it.

it’s sad that such a generational group was destroyed by corporate politics. HYBE literally had their next BTS and fumbled
K-pop Executives warned that if NewJeans could walk away from HYBE, the multibillion dollar K-pop industry might collapse. (via: New York Times)

You have to reach the point where your fear of dying mediocre outweighs your fear of looking like an idiot. The first version of anything you do will be embarrassing, that should be obvious, but too many people let that thought keep them the same for decades on end.

having too many drafts (posts, email, etc.) is bad digital feng shui, all those zombified hesitations lingering around a living workspace, half-baked intentions never fully willed into being, it's causing background anxiety. stagnant water dulls intuition and makes you trepidatious and doubt your own power

She managed to open my mind to materialism as a valid response to marginalization and disrespect in the span of the 3 minutes It is a privilege to not need status indicators in order to receive basic respect Ridiculously eloquent and empathetic
She gets it. She just does

Have a good week everyone and remember: Embarrassment only exists because we mistake vulnerability for humiliation. There’s nothing inherently shameful about trying, caring, reaching out, or being seen. We give other people’s perceptions far too much power over our existence.x

get rid of the belief that things are hard or that youre not capable of doing them. your self-image sets the ceiling for your ambition, decisions and tolerance for difficulty. the moment you start believing youre capable of bigger things, you start thinking, acting and making decisions differently. this one mindset shift unlocks a completely different version of you.
