Turns out that AI can be helpful at work... just probably not in the ways that were intended.

Video games have not been shown to increase violent or aggressive behavior. Reading the process of the studies that claim they do is pretty revealing!

Had such a geeky, fun-filled, and exhausting weekend!

I enjoyed SLICE, PAX, MIX, SIX, and more! Events and times like these help remind me why I'm a game developer!

Time to make a battle royale! Or was it UGC builder? MOBA? Multiplayer looter shooter? Deck builder?

True story-- The best IT/SysAdmin I've worked with had his desk in a cramped server closet and 3 custom mechanical keyboards. Despite having a desk nearby, I only ever saw him when he called for me.

True story! A UX friend told me how their mobile company reverted a bunch of quality of life improvements because users spent more money when they were stuck and confused.

Turns out there are no straight As the real world-- It's a bit more complicated.

And, wow, can that realization be hard.
