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!
Chuckled out loud when I went to log Bugonia in my Letterboxed and it hit me with this 😅😅

Don't worry, it'll all *surely* trickle-down at one point. 🥲
"The top 10% of US households now hold 87% of all US stocks owned by households, with the top 1% alone owning 50%."

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.
