Hey, you. You're finally awake.

Software Engineer in IT - MEng Software Engineering grad @csmcr - making games whenever I can
Pinned
Thought I’d make a quick intro:

Howdy 🤠 Name’s Ra’ad (رعد), pronounced however you want.

By day, I am a Software Engineer working in IT slowly automating tasks, processes, and systems until I’m out of a job.

By night, I dabble in game dev and tinkering on my home lab.
managed to get @fawzi.zone’s latest book just before my trip, looking forward to the insights on the plane and train rides

after a couple of years of barely any social media use, i’m realising that posting more regularly again is like working out an atrophied muscle, but if i’m going to start again i’m glad it’s on a better platform like bluesky

if you wanted an excuse to try out self-hosting maybe doing it with bluesky is a good start
Soft-launching my blog with a post for (mostly) devs — a starting point on how to self-host

- plc.directory
- Relay
- Jetstream

If you're interested in the Independent AppView Working Group, DM me.

Since people have been asking, I've created a "Background Radiation" Games Industry Starter Pack! The goal is a pack that gives you a good horizontal overview of the games industry and its surrounding fields - and the conversations happening there.
