    Episode 86: A System for New Year's Resolutions
    Jan 6 2026
    New Year’s resolutions often collapse under their own weight, not because the ideas are bad, but because the framing sets them up to fail. This reflection offers a calmer alternative that treats the new year as a checkpoint rather than a reset button. It centers on noticing what actually happened, what mattered, and what deserves attention next. Less about fixing yourself and more about keeping an honest record, it suggests a way to look back and forward without pressure, guilt, or grand declarations.

It also explores the challenge of creating systems that stay fresh without overwhelming the people who play them. At its core, it is a meditation on how games evolve, what we hold onto, and what still feels worth building.
