One week after #gamescom and my timeline is still full of memories and also moments posted a week ago. Usually the delay bugs me—but this year it’s pure joy. Happy to relive it all again with everyone. 🙌

Do you know the paradoxical feelling when so many things are going on, that you stop sharing at all? I -at least- might have under-shared a bit recently what’s going on. Let me fix that before next gamescom. ✍️🤗

Its rough waters, so I hope you are doing allright - and that you may find some good sources of hope in yourself and the people around you, too. 🌀🌊❤️ Wishing you a few good days ahead! 🙌

I’d rather prefer an upward spiral… Reading the news is so often devastating, where things are and trajectories might lead, hence am making sure to balance the doom scroll with time for creativity, reading, outdoors, good people and projects - and making even more plans than before…

The stars are right. Fallen lichens and grains of sand crunch between our #GDCFeet as we say our long goodbyes. We will gather at Powell Street Station, 11 AM on Saturday, where the sun reaches under the ground.

#GDC2025 is here! As always, I'm keeping my calendar flexible for spontaneous walks & talks, being selective with formal meetings. Like gamescom (where I'm usually busy organizing), GDC offers a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with friends and industry colleagues worldwide.

We can't save the world with games, but we can be part of why it is worth saving. We can't save the world with art, but we can brighten it. We can't save the world with play, but we can be a reminder of our humanity. We can't save the world with joy, but we can be a reprieve before the fight.

Going to #GDC feels a bit like visiting Germany in 1933 😔 but we are running our own pro-bono event, the European Game Showcase 🇪🇺, and am looking forward to catching up with so many inspiring people to give each other a boost 🙌❤️, hence was no question not to show up.

After the deafening tone of the „For Us not Them“, who do they aspire to become and be? What when the FOR US generates no answer more, and each has to answer, who have I become, who will I be?
