Tech Lead at Max Inferno Games working on keeping 'A Little to the Left' nice and tidy. Also a struggling gardener in a never-ending battle with grape vines.
My dog Salty got a fun little mention in the most recent Max Inferno newsletter about the team expansion + move to a 4 day work week. It's very cute to see folk calling him out!

Really clicking with how everything in Wander Stars looks. That results screen is wonderfully slick.

Farewell to Switzerland, what an amazing trip!

Last full day in Switzerland! It has been such a wonderful trip and started to send things off in a great way by having my first fondue (very delicious) alongside @hoot.bsky.social!

Giger museum was a cool visit, but it wasn't the art or the original suit from the first film that stuck with me.

It was this notebook page suggesting that to mix things up with Alien 3 the monster should be way more kissable.

Too much glare on the ticket machine for the fanicular so foolishly decided to take the stairs with all my luggage instead 🥵🥵🥵

And last but not least, the bell bridgade is still out there in full force.

Some very chill cows after coming down the first leg of the return trip.

Baby Ibex, only noticed the one on the left at first. Blend in so well.

Hungry mountain bird (Alpine chough) that kept perching nearby—did not feed but admired their gumption.

Bonus highlight, looking up at Pilatus Kulm while eating breakfast (cloud covering radar dish on the left) and then looking back down at the hotel from the same ridge.

The place I stayed in Zurich had a particularly noisy pidgin—this is a definite upgrade.

Nice morning walk.

I normally put a bit of birdseed on this step ledge, but I was a bit late in doing so today. The blue jay who usually stops by was apparently not excited about this.

Turning on the Switch and seeing this continues to surprise and delight my brain.

The new items in the game also put us at 4950 different HD Rumble actions!

Slowly getting the setup moved into another room. Will be nice to have it more accessible.
