Look, it's RobB's or Flack's room in 1983!

Every time I go to The Strong they always have a different IF and videogame display. This time it was women in the videogame industry. Pretty cool stuff.

Wow man. I never saw this picture.

For anyone who hasn't seen the actual building:

I always found it to be a really cool looking building.

It was a display featuring Roberta Williams. She worked on a LOT of games over the years

What building is that?

I have had many thoughts about remote work and how I never want to go back to an office, but really - if I worked at an office that was a bit distant from a giant, unyielding downtown where I and everyone else had our own areas we could shut with doors and, sure, a common area to collaborate, and I could choose to go to it or not, it wouldn't be THAT bad.

Take that place in the photo. That doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world to go to. Is that the original Sierra office?

Oh I totally agree. And yeah, that’s the original Sierra Online company headquarters. The building is still there, but I believe it was an Aspen Dental Care place last I checked.
