I traveled around 17 Hours by Train in only 2 days just to meet some of the Austrian overwatch community for one evening. It wasnt easy. It wasnt cheap. But it was defo worth it. Had a Great time. Its just the distance that makes me a bit sad.

Here's my conversation with Jeff Kaplan, a legendary Blizzard game designer of World of Warcraft and Overwatch, which are two of the biggest, most influential games ever made. Jeff is one of the most genuine & awesome human beings I've ever met: kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and still & forever a gamer through and through. This was a truly fun & inspiring conversation. We talk about it all: the lows, the highs, the memes, the details of the game design process, and the new game he's been secretely working on: The Legend of California. I got a chance to play the game with Jeff, and it's incredibly beautiful (and fun). You can wishlist it on Steam now. I can't wait to play it with all of you! Conversation is here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

The EU's Chat Control vote is scheduled for October 14, 2025. The EU plans to scan all information sent via messaging apps. Only three EU member states—Austria, Netherlands, and Poland—have announced opposition.

Stop Destroying Videogames: A month until the end of voting. This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state. Specifically, the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers, before providing reasonable means to continue functioning of said videogames without the involvement from the side of the publisher. The initiative does not seek to acquire ownership of said videogames, associated intellectual rights or monetization rights, neither does it expect the publisher to provide resources for the said videogame once they discontinue it while leaving it in a reasonably functional (playable) state.

2025 = 45^2 It's a perfect square. It will probably be the only perfect square year you ever get to live in. The last time that occurred was in 1936. The next will be in 2116. So, make 2025 a perfect year for you.
