So obviously I made this Steam game:

Squiggle Football by Max Barry - on Steam

Now this blog’s readership is 85% non-Australian, and only a small percentage of those 15%care about football. So let’s be clear: This is likely of no interest to you whatsoever.That’s okay. You can still appreciate the fact that I did this.

Quotes by Max Barry  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“People resist a census, but give them a profile page and they'll spend all day telling you who they are.”
― Max Barry, Lexicon

“She had been in situations like this, where people said, Convince me, and in none of those had they actually wanted to be convinced. She could lay down a perfect argument and they just invented new bullshit on the spot to justify why the answer was still no. When people said, Convince me, she knew it didn’t mean they had an open mind. It meant they had power and wanted to enjoy it a minute.”
― Max Barry, Lexicon

“every story written is
marks upon a page
The same marks,
repeated, only
differently arranged”
― Max Barry, Lexicon
