Big life update: I’m a Dad now.

After my contract with Google wrapped up at the end of last year, my wife and I went to Korea to have our baby, and I’m happy to say all is well.

Things have been really cool and parenting is not as difficult as the Internet made me fear.

Strategy Game Battle UI I was doing research on trends in the Strategy Game UI styles. And you can see a clear pattern that starts with simple left or right bar…

Stumbled upon this study on the evolution of Strategy Game UI over the years by Treeform. Cool to see the reduction in screen real-estate

Figma rolling out an actual entry in the effect dropdown for Apple’s Liquid Glass is not something I expected, but it’s pretty neato

Death Stranding 2 is consuming me, I love it. More than the thought of getting a walking pad for under a standing desk while I work, the thought of using a walking pad while playing DS2 is now probably going to put me over the edge to buying one today lol

Just beat the big doggie(s) in Night Reign for the first time (for me) with @fartdirector.bsky.social & @notexactly.bsky.social — played as Ironeye which apparently turns Elden Ring into a third-person action shooter _and I loved it_

Alphabet and numbers in a monospaced typeface (MD System Mono, specifically), arranged in a grid. In the bottom row, ‘$0’ (zero dollars) is highlighted in bright red.

Maybe you’ve heard: every font is free! Since fonts aren’t subject to copyright, you can legally ‘pirate’ them if you use a specific loophole!

...except that’s not really true. I’ve seen this claim repeated quite a lot recently, and it’s missing some pretty important nuance.

Regards/loyalty program that gave points for booting up certain games and buying new ones. I’ve gotten at least $50 of PSN credit from it over its lifespan, you just have to use the “points” for “rewards” (best among them being $5 or $10 of credit)

What pharmaceuticals did you use to complete your portfolio, and then promote yourself on social media without crippling anxiety, feelings of unworthiness, imposter syndrome, heavy procrastination, the urge to escape, depression, and/or shame? Asking for a friend

Hello, happy Friday. I wanted to publicly note that I’ll be moving internationally from Orlando, Florida to South Korea sometime at the end of June or early July with my partner.

This is a major move for us and I’m super excited. We’ve lived for months at a time there, but this time, it’s one-way ✈️

I hadn’t cleaned up my files for at least a year, so, it’s sort of like as close as I can get to a spiritual cleanse, a ritual, to wipe away the afterimage or scarred battlefield of old projects — which can accumulate so many files chaotically during their time — and stand ready for something new
