Leaving gloomy Paris for one more trip to Germany and one more PhD defense, this time as a guest. I'm hyped to experience a defense without anxiety for once 😅.

If you enjoy relaxed #gamedev vlogs, you probably will like youtube.com/user/ThinMa.... Really interesting to watch. Do you know any similar creators that share their work, not necessarily only of games?
ThinMatrix
Indie game developer and Youtuber, currently working on "Homegrown", a casual farming game.
I upload regular devlogs about my life as a full-time indie game developer and show the entire development process for my games, so that you can follow the project from the first concept all the way up to release! I released my first game "Equilinox" on Steam in 2018, and I'm now working on a small farming game.
You can also find 50+ tutorial videos about creating your own 3D game engine using OpenGL here on my channel.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my videos!

I see my recent CS:GO sales might be related to this: www.polygon.com/counter-str.... Very good, I am glad for every dollar burned 🔥.

Is it expected behavior that the Bsky app logs me out every few days? Incredibly annoying :/.

Very niche post, but I've finally made it to my first 3k rating in WoW 🎉. Overall, I have to say I found the players to be much nicer than I anticipated, largely good vibes :).

One big effect of AI on my life is that I actually use VoiceInk for just talking to my PC and then transcribing into text areas quite a lot nowadays. Even this is posted from talking to the PC. Wild. The future is here.

I spent ~6h today just speaking with my computer using text to speech into Claude. Weird way to work, but really interesting 🤔. And felt quite productive as well.

Had a great time running some dungeons in WoW with a new player on Sunday, just explaining mechanics in a relaxed atmosphere. Nice to be reminded that that is what multiplayer games are all about instead of running after the gear 🙌.

I have reimplemented my personal homepage (www.heltweg.org) using Astro. Hopefully this enables me to add some react-based enhancements for my blog in the future.
I've seen others do cool stuff with that, looking forward to building something similar :).

Just got notified that our paper was accepted at EMSE 🥳. Kind of funny to think that, depending on their background, that will mean nothing to a large majority of people 😅. But to me, it is "the happy end" of ~2 years of work.

Putting my thesis into NotebookLM by Google and generating a video podcast is a wild ride of cringing about the US-marketing hype framing and awe at the technology 😬. But I appreciate the AI telling me the work is groundbreaking, big hype woman energy.

I have been quiet recently, but for a good reason: Last week, I successfully defended my dissertation on open collaboration during data engineering with open data 🎓🥳. Honestly, stressful times, but now there is only waiting for the German bureaucracy left 😌.

ITU Copenhagen looks very nice from the inside :). Much better than the 70s style office buildings computer science gets in Germany 😬.
