Seriously, with everything that’s going on, you need a cup of tea. Need an additional hit of dopamine with your tea? Play a game. Need a virtual hug with that dopamine hit and your tea? Play a game with friends.

I’m a learn-by-doing type, especially when there’s something worth doing, and I’ve been longing to quit big tech and do something fun for years. So I’m going to make a tea-themed mobile app game so you can get your dopamine hits and virtual hugs.

That’s it. That’s my 2025 plan.

Happy New Year!

I’m Amanda
