We all prepare for #UnrealFest Chicago in our own ways. Who ami gonna see there next week? #malört #illhaveanother

A bottle of malört next to a shot glass filled with malört are uplit by a small box, casting a heavenly glow.

I had fun at #GDC2026 this year, and left SF feeling oddly hopeful? Shout out to all the cool jacket-wearers. Thank you to the people who packed my sessions for the energy you brought! Not a bad way to spend my 15th in-person GDC. Onward at #UnrealFest in Chicago, mateys!

Doubled the amount of corn syrup because of reasons, but these might be making it into the yearly rotation. Also turns out my cocktail ice stamp is multipurpose.

I didn’t get to do one of these last time because it was around the same time that the bird site started going to shit.

I had to start condensing down to one lanyard per show.

A pile of conference badges hanging from a multitude of lanyards. At the fore is Unreal Fest Shanghai. A number of badges sport an impressive array of badge flags proclaiming “Bad with Names”, “Bad with Faces”, and more.

Delta Airlines medallion status badge tags are also present.

Alright y’all, we’re starting the trek to #UnrealFest Bali! I’ve got a couple of cool talks that I can’t wait to share. And maybe this year I don’t lose my voice? No guarantees. Who all am I gonna see there?

There’s a lot going on, as ever, but I wanted to take a moment to say I had so much fun at #UnrealFest in Orlando! Big shout-out to our Events team for putting together another great show. And a massive thanks to everyone who attended, we do this for you and you make it great! Onwards to Bali!

I found a marginalia for @crowtoed.bsky.social

He’s just a little dragon guy, wearing a red cap and cape, standing on his two three-clawed feet atop a flower stem. Backed by gold leaf, this little guy was found in the margins of a choral manuscript in the collection of the Medieval Museum of Bologna.

#GDC2025 is happening soon, and I'll be up on stage presenting the Crash Course for New #UnrealEngine Developers. Will it be an hour of me yelling about how much I love the engine? Probably. Will you learn something? Hopefully!

An image of mostly text with some swoopy shapes in the background. It highlights a session at GDC 2025 called "Crash Course for New Unreal Engine Developers" which will provide insights on core concepts of the engine, framework fundamentals, tips on switching to Unreal, and resources to continue your journey. The session is at 9:30am on Thursday, March 20th in room 2024 of the Moscone Center's West Hall.

New profile pic, while I’m (majestically) trying to figure out #AdventOfCode

A golden corona encircles the head of a bearded man. He’s sat at a table with a red tablecloth, picking at his beard while he stares concernedly at an iPad.

Spotify Wrapped is out, show me your Nintendo Year in Review. (You can see pretty clearly when Satisfactory 1.0 and Balatro on iOS dropped)

Silence, mortals! A Diamond is talking. #DeltaAirlines

A man’s hand obscures the address field of a silvery envelope from Delta Airlinesbearing the text “Your Diamond Medallion bag tags have arrived.”

We got the dub! #detroitlions #onepride

A bearded man with glasses, in a surgical mask, stands triumphant backdropped by the pitch at Ford Field.

In the meantime, I can share my love and appreciation for whoever is in charge of sourcing Delta’s in-flight entertainment. There’s always at least one, sometimes two or three, absolute batshit deep cuts.
