GG. After 4 amazing years working at Instagram in Tokyo, it's finally my turn to depart. πŸ₯²

It's been the ride of the lifetime. I'm incredibly proud to have helped bring Threads and Instagram for the iPad to life. But I'm also looking forward to a nice relaxing break. ☺️

Onwards and upwards! 🫑

I can’t help but feel like Blizzard could have skipped some steps here. πŸ˜…

Haha oh wow! Well that makes me feel less bad about forgetting it at least!

(You’d think someone at the actual company would make an internal announcement about it or something. πŸ˜†)

Good night, sweet prince. πŸ₯²

Anthem was the first game I tried on my shiny new Xbox in 2021. Ironically enough. After I learned it was shutting down, I decided to make it my mission to 100% its gamer score. πŸ’ͺ

It was a fun game. I wish EA left it somewhat playable. πŸ₯²

Right?

This is why I like Japanese. It’s very easy to tell how to pronounce words. XD

Also. I completely forgot to this on Jan 1st last year and spent the whole year kicking myself. 😝

Run 3DMark today to get that sweet, rare January 1st achievement! 🫑

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had an amazing end of the year and have an action packed lineup for 2026!

I have a shopping list of apps and projects I want to build this year. I can't wait to get started. And I hope you have a tonne of goals you plan to achieve as well!

Happy Black Friday!

I’ve been busy for the past few months redesigning iComics to align with iOS 26 (without deprecating any older versions) and finally got it out the door this week. πŸŽ‰

To celebrate, it’s free for the next 24 hours. If you like it, please consider leaving a tip. Enjoy!

Happy ending. The Liquid Metal seems to be a success!

And to fix all the scratching on the unit itself, I got papa dbrand to provide a nice skin for the inner part, and replacement plates for the outer part.

Beautiful. 🀩

Haha if the OS hasn’t complained about overheating, you’re probably fine.

True to the seller's listing, the APU on the PS5 was completely dry in the middle, explaining why it was constantly overheating.

A quick refresh of the Liquid Metal and hopefully it's fixed. I mean. It still boots, but I'll have to do a proper test to see if it still overheats. XD

It's a public holiday in Japan today. So I figured I'd spend it reapplying Liquid Metal to this dirt cheap PS5 I bought off Mercari. Hopefully I can't make it any worse. πŸ˜…

Happy Lunar New Year!

For fellow achievement hunters, today is the day you can get the Lunar New Year achievement in 3DMark.

Apparently you have to score a "great" or higher to unlock the achievement. I might be screwed here. πŸ˜…

I bought one of them Moment anamorphic lenses during the pandemic but never used it.

Tokyo is so pretty that I promised myself I'd give it another try.
