Glad there are no highly incriminating AGDA photos of me doing the nutbush & macarena this year. However, no highly exploitable photos for my personal brand of me juggling at GCAP this year either.

i am developing a technology that figures out if a player is looking things up or being told things by other players & immediately puts the player into something I like to call "the hell dimension". I am seeking an investment of twenty billion dollars

I always feel super self concious trying to chat to game audio folks when my credentials are "one fallen-through expression of interest and 15 random game jams", so it was very helpful that every single person I met was extremely lovely and genuinely interested in my work regardless 🥹

Do not ever convince yourself you can manage going back to work on the Thursday after High Score > GCAP > AGDAs oh my god this was a mistake

Ok against all odds: we're actually so back.
Ok I've had a long hard chat with the team and we think our best move is actually for MIGW 2026 to be the first one where I don't feel like an imposter. We're just going to not count this one 👍

Ah see here's me in my real element - coming last in the 3 club combat play-offs at MJC.
(3 club combat is probably exactly what you are imagining)

My juggling convention weekend is over, now in rest & recover mode for my 5 days of MIGW...
Managed to perform a killer open stage diabolo act (still got it 😎) & cleaned up my 7 ball pattern a ton. Got some much longer runs but this was the cleanest I got on camera.

They're going to psychologically profile me with this for the rest of time but man Bilewater is so good. That's my favourite area and section of Silksong thus far. Inject that directly into my veins.

I got the joy of explaining to a producer on a new project that I'm off for a few days next week for a juggling convention ahaha

Can someone let me know why progress on my little personal project has been so tough lately? Here's all the details:
1. I started it the week before Silksong launched

If the new Hyrule Warrios game does an alternate-timeline split and becomes 'non-canon', 99% of players will begin weeping themselves to sleep while I begin a celebration process all contrarians dream of. The timeline split to allow an alternate outcome was the best decision AoC made. Do it again!!!

I think itch having subpar initial communication disappointing, but does not outweigh the fact that they, a relatively tiny pc game store front, are being blackmailed by some of the biggest corporations on the planet who control - just checking, yes - all of commerce

I played this last year, and I still think about it all the time. Its characters, story, and themes will stick with you long after completion. Please pick it up.

Completely surprised to say that playing Nightrein with randoms has been great 9/10 times. Something about the frantic no-communication 'just ping and move' pace works super well.
And no, the game absolutely does not need voice chat. If they add voice chat, I will never play online again.

Blue Prince and Clair Obscur releasing within two weeks is very frustrating.
Also frustrating is I'm not sure if I have 10 hours left of Blue Prince, or another 80.

To all my fellow Haters out there: the Switch 2 won't have achievements. We must all pre-order this console and continue to support the ongoing war efforts against achievements.
