Look, I'm excited to be heading back to #GDC again today (and you should definitely come to the Discord booth and talks!), but I had to deal with this look of disappointment leaving the house today, and that was very hard.

Heading to #GDC next week? A bunch of game industry veterans from the @thegig.bsky.social have contributed to this handy guide feat tips, tricks, and more. Full guide here - thegig.guide/gdc Thanks to @neurotic.bsky.social @tenaciouschi.bsky.social @alykkat.bsky.social for their contributions

With Agones moving to @cncf.io, I'm excited to be keynoting Kubecon EU with Jean-François Hubert, Development Director at Ubisoft (albeit for 3 minutes, But it'll be fun I promise! 😆) We're doing a runthrough of how Ubisoft orchestrates multiplayer games with Agones! https://sched.co/2HgQn

I need a t-shirt that says: "Warning: Will ask for an agenda for a meeting".

Looking forward to seeing many of you at GDC! Drop me a line if you want to catch up, I'll be around! Doing all the good things, Discord stuff, Agones stuff, open source things, booth talks, GDC talks, lots of fun things. Also here's everything we're doing at Discord 👇🏻 events.discord.com/g...

Quickshell is great for bashing out quick UI tooling you wish you had for your desktop shell. Building a window overview was disturbingly easy to do. github.com/markmande...

Myself and a few others write this up every year - hope you find it useful, and see you at GDC!

The emotional support I get from this dog while constructing new furniture...

I think this is progress? Or something? It started so neat. Why do we have so many?

Check out agones.dev/site/docs... - you'll notice way more content about Agones from people that use it! Get case studies & tutorials from the likes of Krafton, @playstation.com, Nintendo, @awscloud.bsky.social, Google Cloud & more. As a challenge -- can you find something I missed? 😆

I may have bought myself a new Secretlab desk as a forcing function to rearrange and clean out my study.

🎉 Big news over the weekend for Agones! The application for Agones to join @cncf.io at the Sandbox level is now live! Now we wait for the CNCF TOC to review and (hopefully 🤞🏻) approve! 🙏🏻 Huge thanks to literally everyone who ever contributed to this project!

Bought new Nest Wifi pro because the WiFi in the house was being weird and spotty for multiple days. WiFi is now back to normal, because of course it is.

Is it "Devreller" or "Devreler" ? 🤔

Sometimes I wonder if my career in developer relations, is just me preemptively failing at being an improv comic 😆

After a decade in the games industry, I'm finally on my way to Tokyo Game Show next week for the first time ever 🛫🗼 Who else will I be seeing there? What should I know before I go?

This giant head is literally the largest reason I don't contribute more to #opensource software in the evening. So if you are waiting on a review from me on Agones particularly, just know that I may have lost my lap and access to a laptop to a snoring boerboel.

In our recent @discord.com Developers talk, we were joined by several fantastic product folks to step you through how you remove the development rate limits on the Discord Social SDK. Check out the recording below 👇🏻 youtu.be/AlGrtgnCFc4...

I think I'm trapped in Gamescom. Is the game trying to leave? I've left before. I think? Maybe I never left

It's day 214 at Gamescom. You've become fused to a game controller. Your physical presence is in quantum singularity between the Radisson and the Business Cafe inside the convention centre. All you can say now is "Trade pass?" as you pass through turnstiles for eternity.

The more i work in developer relations the more I start to feel like it's really handy to enjoy conflict. (But in a nice way 😁)
