Breaking my social media hiatus to share that I was on the Battle Chads podcast with @walaoumpa.bsky.social discussing our research on Magic performance and success for Team Worldly Counsel. I am so proud of this and hope you enjoy! youtu.be/M8FRevbZJxs open.spotify.com/episode/30X7...

We interrupt the hiatus from Bsky to share that I'm giving a talk about my research, contributions & decision to pursue a PhD in games! Event is free to join. Playing Through Tough Times: How Video Games Support Wellbeing 📅 12 May 2026 ⏰ 17:00-18:15 UK Time 📍 Microsoft Teams (Registration required)

I'm checking out of bsky for a while with completing my PhD thesis being the top priority for 2026 and getting it done. Social media is a big procrastination time sink and with everything going on in my life, I'm putting myself first. I'll be back occasionally to post updates and milestones. 🧡

May 2026 be better, safer, and fairer. May all that was good in 2025 be better in 2026. May all that was bad in 2025 be things we put our efforts towards improving.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all have a splendid 2026. No New Year's Resolutions though; just building momentum to finally finish my PhD and get a job. How hard can that be? 🫣

This is who I am. This is why I do it. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

A big shout-out to the DNT Discord members already picking up and killing it with ⚡💣RW💫😺. I am at my parents' house unable to play MTGO right now, so I took the opportunity to write up some thoughts, tips, and deck-building questions for the discerning DnT player: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

Good Morning Magic! The day is finally here! Here’s Every Wrestling Reference I’ve found in Magic: The Gathering! LMK which one’s your favorite or which ones I missed!!!

Christmas and Boxing Day are done. Whilst I had a lovely time hosting and sharing it with the friends I love, if you will now excuse me, I'm going to just sit and do nothing for a few days. Some call it a recharge day, I call it a cat day.

I am so hyped for my Christmas gifts. Husband made me a budget commander deck with all cats with Mirri leading the charge plus one of my favourite cards from #ATLA

Applying for jobs is a whole thing because I need to eat and find work, but it's also a major distraction from writing and finishing my PhD thesis, which should help me get a job (one can hope), but I also need to eat and pay my bills so I can continue. Existential mode activated. #phdlife #jobhunt

Update: I have completed all my sideboarding notes. All the prep work is done. This is my mantra for playing Magic this week and beyond below. A wise friend said: No matter how it goes, whether it’s a win or far from it, you’ve checked the first 2 boxes 🥰 Now to do a final packing check and bed.

Decks submitted for Legacy and Vintage for Eternal Weekend as I fly out tomorrow. Let's just say @iwriterobots.com will be proud 🤖👾 #EternalWeekend #MTGLegacy #MTGVintage

More people in your life than you are probably aware of go about their days utterly convinced nobody likes them, and/or that they're a burden to the world around them. Let's remind our friends, even if it's out of nowhere, that: - they're important to us - we value them - they make our lives better
