But I will say: There's going to be a lot of Tomb Raider things happening this year.
So whether you're looking for a talking head on a podcast, or someone to help with features/lists, etc about the series, I am available!

Hope to chat soon!

I watched part of @hkt3030.neocities.org's funeral earlier.
A big part that stuck out to me, is to follow what you love.
I'll always be thankful to him for giving me tips to make the screenshots shine for my Project Eden feature in 2024.
RIP.

This is Feature 3 out of 5 live so far about Dubai.
After a terrible 2024 career-wise, feeling burnt out, not worthy, ghosted by ex-colleagues, 2025 has been the total opposite.
It’s things like this that have reinforced how much I enjoy this thing I get to call a ‘career’.

Have also spoken to Alexey Pajitnov, Henk Rogers, and Maya Rogers! Amazing chats - expect them next week.

Right now, every train near me is cancelled until at least 11 AM.
Years ago, I'd have been given a talking to about not trying hard enough to get into an office, despite showing facts like below.
Yet, I'm currently in a coffee shop, working on my Mac.
