I had fun at LevelUp Groningen. It was definitely its first time, but the talks and young talent were inspiring. Also, I met some new people and caught up with old ones. Definitely going next year.
On my way to LevelUp Groningen! I'm excited to see what this new event has in store. 😊 If you're going as well, come and say hi! I'm free and networking.
Chatgpt gebruiken om Skyrim te modden? Amateurs! Ik gooi gewoon wat tuinaarde in een emmer water en die modder doet gewoon alles voor me!
In this world with leaders going mad and AI threatening to take our soul, I want to remind everyone we can still have wonder in this world. Our wonder is not child-like. It is battle hardened and we have carried it with us, against all odss, through adulthood. www.tumblr.com/existennialm...

Today is a good day to be nice to each other. It is always a good day to be nice to each other, but let's make today special. And I mean that, sincerely, not sarcastic and also without sub-tweeting. This should not be that hard.
I am happy to announce I will be at the first installment of levelupgroningen.com on the 6th of October. I have no talks or other obligations there, just hanging out and networking. Come say hi!

I kid you not, the following video about the Meta glasses was blocked by Meta on their platforms. Although intended to be funny, I find it deeply uncomfortable, but it needs to be seen. youtu.be/dHKhYL3is5o
Do META EMPLOYEES like their own META GLASSES?

Fursuits are like vtube models for people who like going out in public.
What's going on at Sony? While they did not do branding like Sega and Nintendo with Sonic and Mario respectively, why are they cutting ties with Hideo Kojima? He is THE auteur on the Playstation platform.
I'd like to ask everyone to respect everyone else's opinion on the Ocarina of Time remake. You can like the new art, you can hate it, it's all fine. Zelda has had many art directions, this is one of them. Please, let's not fight online as if we are trying to recreate gamer gate, OK?
I'd like to end the discussion on if training AI is "taking inspiration" or blatant copying. The information of the original work will always linger on in the GenAI neural network and can be recalled if you know the right prompt. Left is the Mona Lisa 'drawn' by ChatGPT, right is the original.
Is this how I should make selfies? Anyway, Gamescom Dev 2026, let's go! Come say hi if you want to hang out. 😊
Hello Kőln! Thanks for having me again! If anyone who knows me wants to hang out, DM through the usual. #Gamescom2026

So, anyone remember those fairy tales where a devil-like figure offers a trinket in exchange for eternal damnation in hell? I'm just pointing out the US has exhausted the 1984 manual and is now looking at more traditional options. Also, as a gamedev, don't you dare use our art for evil.

I am going to be a speaker at Gamescom Dev 2026. I made a little video about it (but it basically only tells you what you just read 😅) youtu.be/z1DSit4kHJ0

Today I was going to release my first video in over a year, because of Playstation going disc-less, but I found it too negative to post. I'll edit it to be more positive and release it after some time off. Long story short: I'm not sure Sony's got a product after this. now what?

Dad once walked in on me, my mum and my best friend all sobbing over Ladyhawke. He turned and wordlessly walked out again. Absolutely one of my top movies. Particularly when it comes to romance. I don’t even hate the soundtrack.
