Last week I basically got off the plane from Japan (vacation) and headed straight to London for QTCC finale. Then it was Devstream madness on Friday.
So today feels like my first REAL work day! And I must say: it was a lovely day! Great game, great team, great community.

I think I'm too Shonen Dragon Ball brained to be sad about the Jays' World Series loss.
Goku lost the first two World Martial Arts Tournaments! Master Roshi taught him that losing shouldn't be anything but inspiration to do better next time. There's always room to grow!
We should be giga proud!!

Had a perfect 3 week holiday in Tokyo!
Now catching up on all things Warframe. Pretty lucky I enjoy my job so much that I don't have to dread that 'back to work' feeling after a long vacation :]

Very excited about my new job title: COMMUNITY PROJECT MANAGER at Digital Extremes!
Community Management is still a (relatively) new discipline. I'm very proud to be part of the DE team as we flesh out what community work can entail. Both for us, and for others!

Genuinely the best advice for creative work. The 'golden rule' equivalent of making art.
A good idea is nothing. A bad first draft EXISTS. There is something to touch up, refine, polish!
You don't have to share the bad thing immediately. Wait until it's good. But make it! Make it! Make it!

Absolutely stunning. Tony Hawk's Journey. One of those games where I feel bad for non-gamers who will never get to experience what interactive art has to offer.

In 2014 I became friends with a cool girl from Japan who was on a working holiday in Canada.
We'd do karaoke with our friends at my apartment. She wanted to become a professional singer!
A decade later, FURUI RIHO is a full fledged J Pop Idol...WITH AN ANIME OPENING!

1 year ago on August 10, 2024 I finished drafting my first novel, Dot Monster ReVolution.
Still needed work before publishing in Dec, but the story was COMPLETE.
A year later, nearly 600 copies have been sold! No publishing house, no marketing budget. Thank you!
Onto the next one~

Found some old photos! This is me in 2016 playing bass for the Tokyo Police Club 'PCH' music video!
The goal was to play the song 200 times in 12 hours (lol) with rotating musicians joining the TPC boys.
I think I played on 10-20 PCH runs haha.
