Common misunderstandings.
1. I talk about game design theory all day long at work.
Ha, no. Right now I'm planning out hair styles and how they tie into progression checkboxes.

2. I know people. And can connect you.
Ha, no. I spend most of my day in a tiny box staring a glowing box trying to make tinier boxes fit other boxes.
Yes, I talk with teammates about these boxes. But this is the opposite of networking. I don't even remember most names.

3. There is a magical secret community of game designers who talk about game design intelligently.
Ha, no. We try. And there are brief ephemeral moments where designers connect their mind-souls. Like iridescent mayflies mating.
But then we all have to go back to our boxes.
