I like learning I'm wrong. It means I'm about to be More Right

My views are YOUR own. And frankly, they're DISGUSTING

Queer and still weird about it. Queer about it. Literally, historically queer

Vogon/Cohost give me a br tag already. This Unicode blank character thing '⠀' is a feelbad hack to get the profile formatting I want... and SUPER ugly 🙃

Seriously, just sanction a br tag. It signifies newline intent clearly.

This post is likely certain to change.

Context: I started making JRPGs with the VERGE system back in 1997. My currently announced project, Sully, A Very Serious RPG actually is an homage to the pack-in game from that ancient-times DOS system!

The biggest project I was involved with was Dungeons of Dredmor, which was one of the first hit traditional roguelikes on steam. I was the Executive Producer.

I gave a fun talk at Roguelike Celebration once.

I was The Human in Frog Fractions! It's even my only IMDB Credit! Later I made the end-of-the-Frog-Fractions-2-ARG soup review videos with Jim. (Amusingly they weren't supposed to be related to Frog Fractions 2 but time makes fools of us all!)

Also amusingly I ended up marrying the other co-creator of Frog Fractions even though I didn't meet her until like 8 years after the game came out. Wacky! Maybe I'll link to her if she ever starts posting here ;3

I've been programming as a kid on the Commodore 64 and various other machines since 1986, and on open source projects since 1997 and for cash money since 2000. I program C++ and javascript/typescript and everything in between and so I confuse recruiters because I fit into NOBODY'S little box.

I worked at Twitter and Google. And that's all I have to say about that.

Oh, and I have a huuuuge Magic: the Gathering collection and way too many commander decks.

And two cats. For now.

Also I love the Wheel of Time too much. It's the best American Fantasy series. Fight me.

Also Also I'm like the oldest Homestuck. But really I'm more of a Problem Sleuth stan. Shall we pose together as a team?
