I’ve been in the industry 20 years this year, and in that whole time this is the classic problem that keeps on giving. The vast majority of industry leaders don’t understand system dynamics, don’t understand non-linear relationships and often don’t understand where ‘good’ comes from. Their….

Do you worry about what your children are doing online? Children today grow up using the internet from a very young age; that isn’t going to change. Instead of growing up fearing the internet, they must be educated digital citizens who can advocate for their interests. proton.me/blog/how-to-...

Highly recommend going the #DIY #HomeAssistant route for anyone who cares about their privacy! Forgo the out-of-the-box "convenience" these parasitic corporations offer. Not only is it a fun learning experience, you also have full control over /your/ #hardware. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

It is absolutely soul crushing to have worked on several live service #games that simply disappear when the servers shut down. Our industry sucks at preservation and it only seems to get worse. #gamedev #liveservice starwarshunters.com/news/sunset-...

Normalize chasing your dreams in your 30's - - - Learn to draw in your 30's! Learn to cook in your 30's! Open that shop in your 30's! Write that book in your 30's! Start that podcast in your 30's! Pick up that guitar in your 30's! Do the thing in your 30's, or 40's, or 50's! It's never too late.

RPG tip: There's no such thing as “official”. No single company holds a monopoly on good game design. Build your own game for your table from many sources. #dnd #ttrpg

Hard agree that "starting over" is often the best thing to do. Chucking a #blockout in the bin so I could take that experience into a 2nd attempt - while removing the irrelevant guff - has been a big part of my #leveldesign process. youtu.be/BMVHI7ZSsqk

I've found that using GIFs is a great way to pitch Level Design & gameplay intent. Using motion to convey depth and dynamics works wonders when showcasing play spaces #ShowDontTell Highly recommend ScreenToGif #LevelDesign #Portfolio #Gamedev

Unexpected side effect of DM'ing for #DnD; A lot of empathy for my old high school teachers. I now know what it feels like to deal with students who refuse to do their homework 🥲 #ttrpg

Super proud of the journey so far. Designing Seoul, Kyoto and Fortune taught me so much - I cannot wait to continue that trend well into the future. Happy 1 Year Anniversary #THEFINALS www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xrj...
