Enjoy!
P.S. COCKPUNCH Coffee is back! This sold out nearly immediately last time, so we did another run and made things a whole lot sexier. The FTZ House Blend is available for a round two (1,234 bags in total this time)! Last time, we limited orders to two bags per customer, but there is no limit on this run. Here is the official description from the website below: “This medium-roast coffee is bright and expressive, like a Southern Jaquan after three shots of espresso. It sports a juicy body with lasting sweetness, reminiscent of summer flings and butterfly wings. Flavor notes sing of lime, orange blossom honey, and vanilla. For if not to sing, WTF are we doing here?” Grab your bag or bags at Cockpunch.com/coffee.
🎧 New podcast episode:
Doom Legend John Romero — The Path to Prolific Innovation and Making 130+ Games, How to Find the Soul of the Work, Audacious Ambition, and Building in Monk Mode
Computer and video game legend John Romero (@romero) has designed and published more than 130 games since his first sale at the age of 16. A teenage programming prodigy, his major achievements include co-inventing a series of revolutionary computer games—DOOM, Quake, Wolfenstein 3-D, and Commander Keen—that launched the industry’s most popular genre, the first-person shooter.
The memoir DOOM GUY: Life in First Person is his first book.
Please enjoy!
