I think the ice cream one counts as “personal” headshot. Glasses one not good for headshot because doesn’t show face.

Finally sharing my sizzle reel! If you're in need of video production work (or pretty much anything creative), hit me up, esp. at #PAXU!
I don't ask for this much, but if you're in the #boardgames industry and like what I do, consider sharing this! I'm looking to book up 2026!

In my team we call these "Sturdy" vs "Fragile" games — how vulnerable is the game to misinterpretation? Some of my favorite games are very fragile, but it's good to know which kind you're working on IMO.

yeah, in my team we talk a lot about the "texture" of the turns. Polishing a game is good and fine, but I don't want to develop a smooth, featureless sphere.

Oh hey I worked on this one with @stoichamster.bsky.social and Michael Dunsmore for Allplay - glad you enjoyed! One of our big comparison points for the scoring was Sprawlopolis if you've played that (it's v good)

Returned from Germany last night exhausted but reinvigorated. It is nice to be reminded that there is joy and enthusiasm in games.

I'm doing some dev work on Flintlock!, the new game in the Blitzkrieg series of 20-minute 2-player wargames. I'm coordinating some digital playtesting that's happening over the next few weeks. Any mutuals interested in helping out for the promise of a free copy of the game when it's released?

Do you think there can be an expressionist game without characters at its center? Could there be an expressionist game where the central agent is a country? Or a company? Or a faction? Thinking about where the boundaries may lie where expressionist play is no longer possible.

there are lots of problems with GAMA, but this is a genuinely good program they are running, and strong interest and applicants will allow them to continue to fund and expand it!
