Professional videogamesman in Seattle. Doing UIUX in AAA games and probably would rather be running.

After sharing my RogueLLMania prototype last week, I spent some time on UX and distribution polish.

• Did the unglamorous work of signing & notarizing builds
• Removed Ollama and integrated node-llama-cpp
• Now fully self-contained (first run pulls Qwen3-1.7B from HF)

I went to the Olympic National Forest with no internet connection and built a website with just a local LLM and @zed.dev.

Final post in my year of vibe-coding series.

Roguelike with local LLM. Deterministic video CLI. Warhammer MCP server.

Dozens of experiments, three standouts. What they have in common, they can run locally, on hardware I own. No API dependencies, no cloud, my data. They are personal software.

Part 2 in my year of vibe-coding series and this one is all vibes.

VIBE-CODING: a video-cutting CLI tool

Deterministic randomness + FFmpeg + SuperCollider + Pedalboard and a VST. Same seed, same result, every time.

I finally wrote about the prototype I started this summer: a roguelike that runs a local LLM inside the game-loop, no player prompts, just game state driving procedural narration.

Maybe the best experience I've ever had playing a mobile game. Highly recommend Neo Cab and it's possible that it's more topical than ever now.

This will collapse the AAA bubble if it hasn't already. GTA6 will not compete with TikTok/Reels/Shorts
GTA 6 will earn $7.6bn in two months and be the "largest gaming release of all time", investment firm predicts

When i was a kid we had shortcuts on our desktop for games we played on PC
What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?

Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.

Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.
