I do product, design, and videogame direction stuff. I like combining inspiration from very different places to create something new.

I've been playing that #DeathStranding. It hit me why it feels a bit strange, dreamlike.

The whole thing is a metaphor, that I'm pretty sure @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN built the whole game upon.

It's a game about the human condition, the self, life.

Bear with me.
I think I’ve been in this meeting.

That’s a big look.

Dropping right on #Battlefield REDSEC.

TIL that Andrew, the most dense element on the Royal periodic table, is a big Call of Duty fan.

Apparently he’s on PlayStation.

It’s that he’s flattened 1/3 of the White House, that’s probably hit me hardest.

That’s not coming back.

And in a way, it also feels like that America is not coming back.

There’s a sad irony to the environment party, fighting against a major tool in combating the climate crisis.

If only there was some sort of cheap, quick to launch, fast flying kind of sky-eye we could use to follow or bring down these drones.

I guess we’ll just have to stand on the ground and observe them until this technology is invented.

Now in production at the takes factory.

I got the new iPhone and …

… the battery life is terrible
… it is the best phone ever
… Apple missed this one thing

Take your pick really. Every take is out there. Choose the opinion that feels right for you.

Social media is like the Temu for opinions.

Is there a Zoom subscription where I can opt out of more tabs being added?

I'd pay extra for this.

Google has successfully reinvented the mainframe.

You can tinker for free, so long as it's quick.
$25 for a small amount of time-sharing.
$350 for the largest allocation.

Presumably later we flip back to home computing.

OK so there’s this whole YouTube corner about living in impossibly tiny vans in Japan.

A couple live in a tiny van.

Watching Alien Earth.

Do you think Weyland-Yutani ever had a successful deep space round trip?

Some Fieldgame beta thoughts.

Love that kits are back, and are only four, with clearly defined roles.

They’re basically the ones we introduced in 2142.

They’re really good for letting you know how to play, and help support teamplay.

Video game doors are so complicated they have their own Slack channel with 60 people in, just to make them work.

This is the first #Battlefield in a long time that I’ve felt hype for.

Glad they’re back to a relatable fantasy, one that I feel many others share.

I’d like to vacuum.

But I don’t want to have to handle the additional heat output.

The more YouTube I watch, the more silly this thumbnail approach starts to feel.

That small dot moving left to right is 3I/ATLAS.

It's a comet that was discovered on 1 July 2025.

It's travelling at 58 km PER SECOND and isn't gravitationally bound to the Sun.

Which means you're looking at a comet that formed around another star, passing through the Solar System.

Sometimes I like to ask myself, if this were a single frame from a game, what might the full experience be like?

What do you imagine?
Here’s the process video for #spaceship 030.

I like #DeathStranding.

Playing the original I was struck by a thought. Now seems like a good to time to reshare it.

It’s a peak billionaire society.

When we’re making machines that can build whole sentences that bloom into great works that articulate the myriad forms of human endeavour.

But predicting the words I’m trying to type and will type next on this phone, is simply beyond the bounds of human capacity.
