We tend to think of Steam as tools for content developers and tools for producers. We’re just always thinking: how do we want to make content developers’ lives better and users’ lives a lot better? With Big Picture Mode, we’re trying to answer the question: ‘How can we maximize a content developers’ investment?’
The odd thing about being a writer is you do tend to lose yourself in your books. Sometimes it seems like real life is flickering by and you’re hardly a part of it. You remember the events in your books better than you remember the events that actually took place when you were writing them.
If I’m playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.
A strong sense of humor, a really awesome personality, and maturity is also really important in a boyfriend. I tend to only be attracted to older guys for that reason. I just love guys who have a really strong sense of who they are.
I tend to be… they say ‘workaholic,’ which I just find to be ‘motivated.’
My mother was extremely controlled, sort of flawless. And I always tend to be a bit more hippie.
Well, honestly, both my husband and I tend to ignore the tabloids. We see them every once in awhile or it comes to our attention that we are in a tabloid for one reason or another. But it’s always false.
I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they’re going to hear, or won’t come for this reason.
Handmade things tend to be so expensive that only a small part of the population can afford them. And yet making things with hands is such an essential part of being human.
Animation scripts tend to be much more descriptive and are lighter on dialogue.
You can’t please everybody all the time, but I think for the most part we tend to maintain a healthy level of self-reference to kind of make sure we continue to push things forward.
Neophyte writers tend to believe that there is something magical about ideas and that if they can just get a hold of a good one, then their futures are ensured.
Fear tends to manifest itself much more quickly than greed, so volatile markets tend to be on the downside. In up markets, volatility tends to gradually decline.
Entrepreneurs or international conglomerateurs, or large financial institutions buy or create mutual fund management companies to create a return on their own capital. It’s capitalism at work, where the rewards tend to go to the managers rather than the investors.
Ultimately, mentorship plays such a big role in breaking directors that successful male directors tend to reach the helping hand to guys who remind them of themselves. We need more women directors so they can reach out to girls who remind them of themselves.
In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they’ll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
Sympathy relies on a common experience. If you’re clumsy, you might have sympathy for others who tend to bump into things. Empathy, on the other hand, is the ability to understand another person’s feelings even if you’ve never experienced them yourself.
I do tend to lose track since the kids are out of school.
The fact is, when you are young, if you are mingling with wrong people, you tend to be misguided. You tend to be brainwashed easily.
The young think that failure is the Siberian end of the line, banishment from all the living, and tend to do what I then did – which was to hide.
I use circumlocution too often, and instead of getting my point across, I tend to babble.
As Christians, we often tend to get our Bible doctrine confused and start mixing truths that were never meant to be mixed.
Do things that are uncomfortable to do. I say that because women tend to step back from things that they don’t know about. And the second, most important one is, push through the fear.
I’ve got a short torso and long legs, so I tend to wear longer tops and things that sit on my hips.
I played Chang here under the lights here. I think that was ’91. Another good match. I’ve played a lot more good matches under the lights than I played bad. You tend to remember some of the bad ones unfortunately.
I’m really interested in older women, to be honest, because they have lived a life that I’ve not yet lived. So I really want to learn from them, and I think culturally we tend to dispose of women once they get to a certain age and they don’t look a certain way.
Wrestlers tend to do good in MMA because they tend to be just some tough guys. It’s not a karate situation where they grew up their whole life punching the air; in a wrestling situation, you grab a hold of another human being every day.
The dynamic with social is you tend not to have products with 30% market share. It’s all or nothing. Email works because we have open standards that let you communicate across any email client.
People who teach American history survey classes have a lot of ground to cover and tend to focus on landmarks. You get through the Civil War and Reconstruction, and you have to get to the beginning of the 20th century fast. It’s pretty easy to go lightly on the Gilded Age.
We’re loving something to death in a way, which Americans tend to do a lot.
What’s interesting is that both men and women are struggling with this issue in remarkably similar percentages, but the big difference is that women tend to talk about this when men keep it silent.
I would prefer to keep my clothes on. Unless there’s a brisk breeze or something, I tend to keep them on.
I’m like 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.
I sometimes find that playing the bad guy, or villains, or psychopaths tend to be much more psychologically rewarding. And you can really push it, you can push the limits, and get away with it.
I tend to not discriminate when it comes to people I can learn from. Basically, if someone has built a meaningful business in software, technology or media, faced disruption and adversity, and overcame underdog status, I want to know how they did it.
For one thing I tend not to see myself in various moulds that people fit me into.
I tend to turn down roles that are too much like me, what I think is most like me anyhow, because I’m me all the time and I’m sick of it.
I tend to just do whatever I want on an album and try to make it work. I’m just adventurous. It’s most exciting to be at the edge of your abilities. I want to see how far I can push things.
Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.
If we cling to the institution of Islam, then we tend to defend it against whatever we see as a danger to it, so because of this we see now that many people are defending states, defending territories, defending everything institutional in the belief that they defend Islam.
These days I travel so much it’s hard to get into a routine. When I’m on the road, I tend to use hotel gyms. When I’m home in L.A., I like to hike and hit the surf. All in all, I try to keep a balanced diet and exercise routine, which has stood me in good stead to date.
It is such a social thing, laughing. Two thousand people in a room laughing is such a great buzz and they tend to laugh much more in a group.
I mean, I think having a great family like I do. You know, I tend to want to give it all I have when I’m at the golf course, and then when I leave I don’t want to think about golf at all. And I just remind myself almost daily that golf’s just my job, it’s not who I am.
American audiences tend to be more expressive than British ones.
Those few people who do respond to the dire conditions of the future – journalists, environmentalists, behavioral scientists – tend not to be powerful.
Against the dark background of this contemporary civilization of well-being, even the arts tend to mingle, to lose their identity.
Adult stem cells tend not to form tumors.
Big ideas we tend to like are the ones that seem impossible or crazy.
I grew up as the only child, and we did not have a large family. So for me and my mother, our friends tend to become our family.
I meet people on the street or at book signings and they tend to treat me as if they know me, as if we’re connected. It’s great.
The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don’t like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.
I’m glad I have an outlet. I don’t think I would put my aggression elsewhere, but working on the projects I have worked on, you tend to benefit personally from trying to wrap your head around the way other people look at the world.
I am one of those people who are out of touch with their emotions. I tend to treat my emotions like unpleasant relatives – a long-distance call once or twice or year is more than enough. If I got in touch with them, they might come to stay.
It’s important to have girlfriends, because guys tend to come and go.
I think we Americans tend to put too high a price on unanimity, as if there were something dangerous and illegitimate about honest differences of opinion honestly expressed by honest men.
I tend to think of a myth and then explore how it would play out if it were happening in the modern-day world. I modify all the myths I use, but I stick very closely to their structure – it is the hidden teacher in me.
