████ (before the age of 10) saying "I can keep talking if I don't stop to think!"
that poster in my room of all the ████ of ████
████ — first guy crush
The cave interior in Greedy Zebra (Hadithi, Kennaway)
The 9 Tasks of Mistry (McEwan), and in particular the Cage of Illusion (bit heavy-handed for that to stick in my memory but hey sometimes you get a freebie)
The Fallen Spaceman (Harding)
Learning that breath rates sync up when you're physically close — and observing that experience myself with someone, for the first time
When I was really young, I was terrified of onscreen animation
My mom taught me stop-motion animation with our home camcorder and some blocks, to help me get past it
When my siblings and I were all kids, we tried to watch The NeverEnding Story (1984), and we all freaked out — couldn't do it
I remember knowing (middle school? high school?) that a logo should be easy to draw with a single pen — not dependent on shading or color
"There is no life, I know // To compare with pure imagination // Living there, you'll be free // If you truly wish to be" — that last line feels like a clause, always has
Always felt straightforward to me that we make games because we're playing one
Always wondered if animals knew not to look at the sun

I wonder if this is why I can't detect evil? because literally no form of consciousness is toxic to me? because I ammmmmmm... well, because "I AM", and that's the level I hang out at?
"the music of the spheres" — remember hearing this in a little discoverable spot inside a Magic School Bus computer game, and having it sharply draw my attention
"we are coterminous" sample from Half-Life: Alyx
“STUDY NATURAL LAW” — painted on someone’s roof in wisconsin, visible from the highway
from my apple interview: “how do you know a deeply complex system is fully okay, and that it's safe to do updates? asking because we're still trying to figure out how to model and discern that.”
