It's baffles and frustrates me how people hop over from Twitter to try BlueSky, then leave all huffy because they won't get spoon-fed content when that same dependency on algorithm feeds is what has led to so much modern social media enshitification in the first place? 🤔

I used to perceive "Sunday scaries" as something that "wasn't real" (for me), and any stressors were my fault that I didn't properly prepare for. For a few weeks, my Sundays have been unsettling. Sometimes I wish I had someone to bounce my racing thoughts with, but that is so unreasonable to ask. 🫠

just wanted to share something I wrote to a friend recently.

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

I've been mentally struggling with this for a few months now, but lately, I've been coming home from work and feeling like I come home to work a "second job." I guess three buckets of this "second job" are: self-care, hobbies, and freelancing.

I don't know which Kingdom Hearts fan wants to hear this, but there are 358 days left in the year.

First Monday of the year is proving to be a "Chapter 1 End Boss of a JRPG" level of difficulty.

good job, you.

I was on Facebook from about middle school to post-undergrad. I remember holding onto it for so long thinking, "if something happens to somebody I knew, I'd want to know" (and, because of Facebook, I do in fact know about 2 people in my life who passed away that I wouldn't have otherwise known :/ )

I bet you remember weaknesses you had in 2025. sharp memory! but that was 2025 you - who no longer exists. yes, this is 2026. you can do anything in 2026, anything at all. the only limit is yourself. welcome to you, who has come to 2026. you can do anything in 2026. the infinite is possible in 2026.

Happy New Year. To 2026. 🥂

Humbly shot my shot but submitted a media and content creator application for PAX East!

briefly reflecting on how 2024 was the year of unemployment, but 2025 was the year of 3 business cards (personal, previous job, current job)

"Be a part of video game history" is on the bucket list, I think. It's a lofty goal, but regardless of my current standing in my career, I'd love to chase that aspiration, and only I can define that for myself.

I'm not one for extensive discourse over TGA. I enjoyed and got emotional over what I watched. I'm proud to have experienced art this year, and I know there's more out there.

Here's how we released 200+ games #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #gamedesign p.s. it's my birthday in 2 weeks if you'd like to do something for the soon to be birthday boy nothing would make me happier than sharing this video on what I've been doing with my life so I can help more people ♥️

To go on holiday and come back to only 6 emails in my inbox, all of which were ads/junk. omg.

On this Thanksgiving day, I committed to buying a Herman Miller chair 🧍‍♂️

today, 2 coworkers commented that my typing sounded like "a rattling noise" so that was A Conversation

are the work days during holiday weeks even real

Currently in love with Dispatch.

I want to bring guacamole to a Thanksgiving party, so I made a batch for my coworkers to try the recipe first. 15 avocados 🥑

Had the opportunity to shoot @yumeconusa.bsky.social as part of their Photography team this past weekend. Very thankful to the staff for taking a chance with me! 🤍 Sharing a few photos~

I'm sad. And my feelings are valid. I don't feel like I'm the only person out there who feels they're in a constant state of being misunderstood, but I've struggled with this my whole life. Tomorrow comes.

that's so weird like there wasn't a big interest in an inconvenience store

The truth is, I really want to go to FanFest 😭. I don't talk about XIV much because I haven't played in a while (experienced through 7.0 at least). I keep telling myself to start back up again, but I haven't. Will give the gen sales period an honest try, or just take time off in Anaheim instead 🙏.
