For reasons that I suspect are stress related, every time I do a GDC talk I gain 20-22kg in the run up to it, then lose the weight afterwards.
At some point I hope to not look so fat when being recorded for posterity. It’s jarring. #gamedev

I sometimes like to pick two films with the same actor and imagine they are the same character in the same universe. E.g. John Ratzenberger from Cheers quits being a postman to become a miner on Io in Outland (1981). Pictured below is the moment he realizes he should have kept his union job. #movies

Here lies the last CAT-5e cable in my possession. It died as it wanted to live: In the back of a PlayStation. RIP

I did a bunch of home improvements over the summer. This one got a lot of positive feedback from visitors. Just wondering where to put all the other guitars now. (Hint: One of them is a Steinberger bass that won’t hang like this)

I bought this in an Asian store in Malmö on a punt. It’s really f*cking spicy. I feel like I might pass out. Jesus why did I not notice the character on the package was crying while eating this? Dear Swedes: This food is not for you. Take the ramen pot like you normally do.

Let me guess. Was this “before money” from betting on stock market derivatives when the streaming market was immature and growing rapidly? Is the subscription revenue completely symbolic? Could anyone have predicted that the market would stabilize as it matured? Surely that was obvious?

Things from the 90s I absolutely don’t miss.
These t-shirts that reacted to body temperature, so you could broadcast at long distance that you were hot and sweaty. Gross.
