I've caught a bit of the game jam bug and signed up for my 2nd game jam! Making a platformer using Phaser JS with the theme...Balance. My goal is to at least make 1-2 levels with full intro and story. Deadline, 4/26/25 10:00 AM 🎮⌛

fun! We took a leather making class at the Chicago School of Shoemaking. It was great but yeah everyone was better than it than me 🤷‍♂️

Ludocene: Game Discovery From People You Trust A dating app that matches you with games rather than people. A deck-builder that profiles your gaming taste.

This is a very cool project. A great idea to merge tech, journalism, and games, to help gamers. Love it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lud...

DeckSight A drop-in low power OLED display upgrade for LCD model Steam Decks

I love my steam deck. It’s become my main gaming console for over 2 years now. So it’s no surprise I’m very interested in this upgrade. Though it looks like it’s a big undertaking www.crowdsupply.com/shade-techni...

What will you build? The next step of your coding journey starts here.

Been out of the tech engineer game for a couple of years. Want to get back into it. Started taking refresher classes on Scrimba. Super tough market right now. Gotta keep learning though 💪🏽 scrimba.com/home

Good open source hardware and software is hard to find. So when one pops up, gotta know more docs.banana-pi.org/en/OpenWRT-O...

Not an advocate for Black Friday but saving money for your future, I can’t argue with. Some tech/dev deals I’m considering: @sofahq.social is 50% off/year at $14.99 and @proton.me standard notes is 50% off/year at $60

So many good games on sale for Steam. In my cart is metaphor, nine sols, and crypt custodian
