🧵 Book quote thread!

I've complied some of my favourite #ux, #productdesign and strategy quotes (some truncated) from the books I've read over the years.

I find each one incredibly powerful and I hope you find effective ways to use them too! 💪
Why not give your favourite one a like!

I really liked the artwork cards that were in Gaelco 2 and Jaleco 1.
I've been using Duolingo now for about 4 months. It is odd how it excels in some areas, such as variety and charm, and yet in other areas which you could see as being fundamental to learning, it seems to provide a lot of frustration. The "test before being taught" model is confusing to me. #ux
Some visual tweaks and the crate texture now in place 📦

Progress of current Sokoban inspired web game. (Though really I blame countless ours of playing Kwirk on the Game Boy as a kid 😄)

Would you consider an AI generated image "slop" if it was created by a model that was only trained on images which obtained permission or were willingly donated by artists, illustrators and photographers? Trying to determine what extent the feeling of theft contributes to the labelling of slop.
Waiting for Rare 1 to become available for preorder on Funstock again 😻Then I'll probably order with Activision. Delighted to play Demon Attack again 👾

I actually want to see this rendered with lighting and shadows 🍿
Curious what vibe coding platform you use?
I wonder if they sell a tool to fix their own website 😅
That should be 11am EDT 😅
Greetings UX friends 👋

I don't know why Alien Resurrection is my comfort movie but there you go 🤷
Good luck and have a great day 🌞
If Tron makes an appearance in the final scene, voiced by Bruce Boxleitner, accompanied by the classic Tron melody, and defeats Ares in a disc duel... I'd 10/10 this movie in a heart beat.
I want a mobile phone with an old CRT display, as thick as it is tall. Let's also bring back the antenna but make it like a miniature satellite dish. Symbian OS.
Not sure how long these Duck Duck Go Easter eggs have been around for, but if you search for "Elvis" the duck is bestowed the iconic pompadour‑style quiff and sequined jumpsuit.
I wonder how many more there are?
Got my copy yesterday! It's such a quality game, having so much fun with it 🙌

I'd also buy the soundtrack in a Heartbeat.
Ohhh Demon Attack, so good! The one game I was hoping to see on the original Atari Collections.
Another geometric tile pattern for today ✨

The editing, multi-layered fade transitions and title sequence of Alien Earth reminds me of Alien 3. Now I'm just waiting for it to take a leaf out of Resurrection's book and have a basketball action sequence. That'll be episode 4.
If it doesn't need to be racing, I'd love to see a GameBoy Spy game. No guns or combat, if you get seen you restart the level. Hide behind object and take different routes to reach your goal (steal files,data etc). Visually similar to Alien 3 GB, top down.
