I may not be able to afford first class, but I still fly luxuriously.

Man. Bryce was so sick. I should install Bryce again.

Approaching 2026 with this energy.

I'm using the holidays to finally learn @godotengine.org. First day of making a very drifty car game (using @kenney.nl assets 💖.)

This is good advice for any kind of spec. Don't sound out how you want lines to sound to voice actors - they'll do a better job if you give them flexibility. Same for giving game designs to programmers - be specific where needed, but trust them to solve technical hurdles better than you can.

Please…. I’m begging you… if your game has a dialogue choice… and all the answers say the same thing in a different way…. You can just remove the dialogue choice……

The best experience in game dev is describing something that's cool in my head to a concept artist, and having them come back with something mind-blowingly cooler.

Neon Giant has so many amazingly talented people. Great to see a local Uppsala studio making something so cool and ambitious 😁

Thank you! 😁😁😁😁💖💖

Check out this thing I'm working on at Remedy 😁 It's going to be very very cool. youtu.be/e1_eZyFM5-4?...

The coolest picture ever taken of me. Greyscale. I stand in a long coat under a horizontal series of spotlights. It is night. The light illuminates me and my face is so bright as to be only an incandescent point of light.

I went to the Festival of Light and became a god.

As a game writer you usually need a broader view of the narrative. This means that the person who has thought most about a single character's feelings and reactions at a specific story point is often the actor playing them. That's an invaluable insight and a huge part of characters feeling alive.

A tattoo of a snake on my upper arm, with the head coming up onto my hand. In the background is an unimpressed looking cat.

I like to get a tattoo for every big project I work on. Finally got this one - because I don't hate snakes.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

It also notifies you when they're testing the air raid sirens, which is good for me since I always forget 😅

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Steam purchase number 13 😉

I'm old.

Getting my game picked for Leftfield in 2018 was super important for me. If you're an indie with something cool to show, definitely submit 😁

During a stressful part of my 20s, I played a ridiculous amount of Floating Point by @pentadact.com. Perfect for zoning out, blasting podcasts and forgetting you want to explode.

Paratopic: Overdub on Steam Before the Backrooms ... before analog horror ... there were the tapes

Thanks! 😁😁

A picture of me wearing a black sweater with the logo of Remedy games printed on it in blue. A brown cat is just out of frame but the tail can be seen.

New studio, new swag, new me?

A PlayStation Vita playing Shovel Knight, lying on a wooden table next to a glass of cider and some spectacles.

Got that portable game console everybody's excited for.

One more time for the people in the back!

I loved the books, and as an honorary Swede I'm legally required to watch anything with a Skarsgård in it.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
