“But.. but.. Twitter had Tweet”

Yes but Twitter had a charming brand with which Tweet was coherent (the bird, fail whale, etc).

Warpcast has almost no brand (good name, very weak icon and logo, juiceless app, rational and no fun, Farcaster branded like a New England regional bank pre 2010.)

This is a great point and tbh I would adore a brand that leaned into "casting" with a cute little wizard

Farcaster

Casts should be called Posts. 

Zero practical distinction at the expense of legibility to mainstream users.

This has interesting parallels to game design; often the impulse to make something shiny and fresh and "branded" adds inertia to the onboarding process. It's basically just ego! Gotta kill that

Music

Chappell Roan's "Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl" is essentially the vibe that I think Katy Perry was going for with "Woman's World"

Tabletop

I upgraded our streaming setup and it's more legit than ever! Got the bracket, got a tutorial, got player camera highlights! Tune in at 8pm CDT and check out the hottest dueling card/board game in the world: twitch.tv/anthromancer

Are you a hobbyist, a designer, or a publisher? What's your favorite game and why?

Memes

It's pretty wild how well AI can animate memes
