With the life and times of King Sisyphus concluded, I think I can finally take a break from ULTRAKILL and get back to work LOL. There are still so many thoughts and notes I have to consolidate, but overall I am left filled with awe and newfound inspiration

I beat MINOS PRIME yesterday! His movement is so much fun, seeing the windup of each attack instantly jump to the completed arc of motion really makes you feel like you’re fighting a manga character. You parry his projectile and before the flash ends his fist is INCHES away from your face

I have done nothing but play ULTRAKILL for three days

Sorry, I try not to just gush how awesome the game I'm in is. But holy fuck. I always say I truly believe ULTRAKILL will go down as one of the greatest games of all time, and each layer only convinces me further. I am not WORTHY to be part of this, but I will die trying.

8-2 THROUGH THE MIRROR is a level I am going to remember for a long, long time. The way it drip feeds you the information you need to build an understanding of the two connecting spaces is masterful. It’s just begging you to use that knowledge to try to get somewhere you’re not supposed to get

My Dante scholar friend was very happy to briefly see you-know-who in the latter half of the level :)

Played the first level of FRAUD three times tonight. Refused to go to the next one. Needed time to take it all in. The first time experience was unforgettable, an absolute mind blowing thing happens like every 3 minutes. How did they make a game like this

A review of Iron Lung (2026) This review may contain spoilers. Visit the page to bypass this warning and read the review.

I watched IRON LUNG and I thought it was phenomenal. Yes, I figured Valentine's Day was the perfect day to watch a movie about being alone in the universe.

If you're a fan of practical effects, video game gizmos, and artistic joy, you owe it to yourself to see this one.

I have so much faith in Kagurabachi. You all don’t understand. There is a cultural reset incoming, we just need to get it into the peoples’ hands (with an anime adaptation) in a few years time Chihiro Rokuhira will be a balloon at the Macy’s Parade

Logged into LinkedIn today to enter a raffle. Been spending so much time building my game dev connections here that I kind of forgot that website existed, whole different world over there
