My talk with @derek-lieu.com is today at 1:50 at GDC all about why you shouldn't skip all the behind-the-scenes marketing stuff that you probably really want to: schedule.gdconf.com/session/back...

I’m around at GDC this week and looking forward to seeing folks! May be running a bit from place to place but would love to say hi if you see me! Here’s my face for reference (which will be masked indoors) haha.

Does anyone know of good restaurants not too far from Moscone that would have outdoor seating and some gluten free options? Why is it so hard?

Thanks, friend!

Carol is a smartypants with super valuable experience so if you're looking to see things that will make you inherently smarter and better these are ones not to miss.

I'm sure this talk will be riddled with insights info that's more valuable than ever as games funding is....rough at the moment.

On Tuesday at 1:50 PM @derek-lieu.com and I are giving a GDC talk about the "boring" behind-the-scenes parts of marketing that everyone often skips. Hopefully we'll convince you a) not to skip all of them and b) that they can have a big impact. Come hang! schedule.gdconf.com/session/back...

I sure hope so. Could definitely use some uplifting hopeful vibes!

05.03.2026 23:47 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah I’m not sure what attendance or the overall mood/vibe will be. But agree! Hope to see you there!

I think this GDC is gonna be a weird one

Excited for everyone to get to play this starting today! The team worked so hard to make it the best that it can be for the EA launch. Loved getting to be a small part of it.

Amazing!! So happy for you and your new found art!

Can't wait to see your face next week!

I haven't planned a single thing and need to give this some thought. Its somehow always colder than I think it is going to be!

Just though the world should know that on my walk today there was a shirtless guy behind me authentically talking on the phone about how to raise shareholder value....

Want to learn more about why the "boring" parts of marketing are actually pretty helpful and you shouldn't skip them (even though you probably really want to)?

Come hang out with me and @derek-lieu.com at GDC on Tuesday, March 10th at 1:50 PM. Would love to see you there!

I've seen two double rainbows and two alpacas in the last week. This has to be some kind of good luck or good omen right??

I'm the same. The second I'm done watching a movie or TV show basically it gets wiped from my brain and I barely remember a thing.
