Went out to the cinema which was full of teenagers, and I regret to inform everyone that they dress like I did in high school 🙈

I've been making things just for the joy of making things again, and working with AI really feels like the hackathons that got me into tech in the first place. Just having ideas, creating, and iterating quickly.

Completely negligible! Like less than a percent taking all the cores into account.

Did some spring cleaning on my Mac desktop, including this dynamic spring wallpaper from @oskargroth.bsky.social's Backdrop app 🌸🌱 (let's just ignore all the notification badges for now and look at the pretty flowing river, ok?)

"Video games cause violence" Meanwhile, me reloading my save because I accidentally made one of the characters sad

Big highlight is Xbox being cross-platform. Have played a lot more Xbox than Steam this year because I can (usually) have saves between my living room console, office PC, handheld PC, and MacBook (via cloud gaming). #thisisanxbox

Just a friendly reminder that you don’t actually have to be good at video games to be able to justify enjoying them. 🕹️🎮

#adventofcode, @trueachievements.com advent, and my physical calendar filled with shiny math rocks started today. These things get me through the ever-shortening Swedish winter days 🥲🌄

Booked a trip to go back to Japan in January! I am looking forward to copious amounts of CocoIchi curry curing my seasonal depression 🍛

For me as a game designer, it’s super important to remember this: the player base of a game is WAY bigger (and way less aware of fandom/industry drama) than social media leads one to think.

Very excited on your behalf - wish I could go back and play it for the first time again!

My D&D party spent a half hour *after* session arguing about what to do with a sus NPC. Some think she is a hag, others think she is an innocent wizard. I think this is a sign I am doing something right in my character design 😈

Turn based ftw! I went to try BG1 and 2 after BG3 and the combat stressed me out so much! (even with the autopausing)

Ari V @ariv.se · 26/11/2024

Definitely yes! It's a piece of art even if you know nothing about LoL 😍

I love that I buy loads of games like I'm a squirrel storing nuts for the winter that I just keep stock piling to which I don't get around to playing immediately if at all. I'm just a little squirrel sitting on a lot of nuts. I do love nuts.

Just saw a comment on YouTube about treating your Backlog as more of a wine cellar. Add things you want and then peruse it for a game to suit your mood. And I suddenly feel so much better 😅

Greece is still on my to-do list! Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are all lovely (but not in the winter - the sun sets at 3pm these days)

It started with a "digital nomad" trip of about 8mo, working remotely and changing city every month or so. Nowadays I've got my home base in Sweden, but travelling around 4-8 times a year, half for work and half for fun. Been to Japan twice and highly highly recommend! ⛩️

Spent a few minutes curating my bluesky feed, and it has now decided I really like mushroom photography. I didn't know this world existed, but I'm here for it 🍄
