I'll be speaking at the @gameuxsummit.com in Antwerp, Belguim in early September!

I'm going to share my experience on how to apply Object-Oriented UX to break up complex game systems and unlock more seamless workflows with development teams.

If you are in Antwerp that week, I'd love to meet up!
Don't worry, it'll all *surely* trickle-down at one point. 🥲

Is this good?

I just realized I'm turning 33 next year so you bet I'm making an Expedition 33 themed birthday party.

Movie-heists: Extremely complicated plan involving a dozen people, precise to the second timings and ultra high-tech thing-a-majings.

Real-life-heists: Park a truck and raise a basket to the balcony.

Oh my god, I'm gonna be insufferable when this comes out. The amount of reaction and meme GIFs I'm gonna make out of Lestat's rock star era is gonna drown my company's Slack channels.

Went to my first MTG Commander Night yesterday. Played two of my precons, I couldn't do anything in one game cause I just did not draw any Forest lands, proc-ed real hard the second game, but took pity on another player and then he wiped me. Lesson learned.

Also won a Cowboy Bebop promo card! 10/10

After 55 years, Bulgaria is back in the finals of the Volleyball Men’s World Championship. Watching this team has been a roller-coaster of emotions and the biggest one starts in less than ~3 hours.

Regardless of the outcome, these boys are absolute champions <3

Absolutely INSANE turn around! From 2:0 for USA, to 2:3 for Bulgaria and we are off to the World Volleyball Championship Semi-Finals!!!

3 days ago marked the 30th anniversary of the release of Hackers, aka the movie that *still* influences large swaths of my musical and fashion tastes.

Wait, wait, wait, Resonance of Fate got a 4K PC remaster!?

This is one of *the* weirdest JRPGs ever and, yes, while brutally hard to learn, it does so many novel things that you HAVE to try it out.
This is such a weird pull since its technically AAA but had a quiet initial release, but Resonance of Fate rules so much. What if a John Woo JRPG with the vibe of old 00's anime like Bebop or Trigun and some *sicko mode* gun customization?

Though I fervently believe this is the best Barry Lyndon cut:

Putting Hunter’s March pretty early on as a path for players who really want to push themselves to get used to it was a smart decision imo. It’s funny, I also feel like realizing that alternate crests exist made me just want to commit to the angled down-attack harder.
