Friends, it's the final tweet. I've been here 17 years, and it's time to move on.
I loved this platform for it's simplicity. But cannot support this platform for everything else <3

I'm slowly winding down this account and will be heading to BlueSky. I've been a Twitter user for 17 years now, but I can't anymore. It's bittersweet to go:

It's one of those things that inspired you to be a creator, yet you can't quite get a pulse on why (and are forever thankful):

The Elephant Collection is nearing it's first birthday! If you haven't left a Steam review yet, would you? We're about to hit 500 reviews which feels like a mighty special milestone (like two birthdays, really!)

a part of me always knew I was feeding the machine when I did CAPTCHAs, but it feels REALLY off to be interpreting AI images of cats using computers...but also:
Hi Internet,
My name is Steve and my terminal disability should have ended me in my first years of life. But somehow, I'm celebrating 44 today. I've done what I could with the cards that were dealt to me: being in a power wheelchair on a ventilator and barely able to move, hasn't stopped me from raising awareness for gamers with disabilities and millions of dollars for charity over the last 20 years.
On my birthday each year, the only present I ask for is your help reaching out to the people I idolize doing really cool things in the world. @marshmello's music has gotten me through some really rough times of depression and feeling like this world just wasn't meant for me. I'd love the opportunity to work with him on something cool to inspire others not to give up when life seems too overwhelming to keep pushing forward. None of us choose the way we are born, but we can choose to leave the world better than we found it.

thinking about my PAX Dev 2016 talk about the importance of building small games
I used Shetland ponies throughout the presentation
Devs messaged me later calling it, "the one with the small horses"
One dev told me in-person after the talk, "less horses next time"
