So I LARPed as a YouTuber again, what am I doing, lol!

I love talking about gamedev, and after endlessly ranting on about this to people on the street who were NOT interested in hearing me out, I figured the internet might be more interested in my rants.

And apparently the internet was interested! 
35k views so far and so many lovely comments and discussions, it's been really fun to engage with. I don't know what my future on YouTube is, but maybe I'll do more of these and maybe even show my work more on this platform.

Until then, enjoy my little take on AI and the games market.

Here's what I'm enjoi™ing in the month of May 2026:

When times are crazy, and the world seems to be ending, it's best to enjoy the good things that other humans have created.

Music
Play In Stereo had a wild Boiler Room dj-set that made me dive deep into this Japanese duo's music catalogue. Especially loving this track:

Movies/TV

Enjoyable horror-drama.

Games

Housemarque knocked this one out of the park, just wild. Incredible gameplay to enjoi™ here.


Easily my favorite game the last 10 years. What an experience!

Hello World!

First blog post on my new website.
Remember when the internet was like this? We'd code our own websites, upload files via FTP and share the url on IRC. All via standardized, open protocols. Way before the platforms took over the online world, back when we had an open and free internet. It was better this way, and I think it's time we take it back. These tech oligarchs proved themselves to the be absolute worst custodians for our work and words, and we can make a better future without them.
