Spent 2 days bikepacking the Wessex Downs national landscape. I am in awe of that place. Mtb paradise I think :) I took an ungodly amount of photos that I'll start posting soon.

Consolation prize for this evenings events is this nice shot of The Shard from Nunhead train station :)
Out for an evening ride on a national cycle network route, a dog runs at me and bites my front tire. Owner says the dog hates bicycles. So why was it unleashed while on a national cycle network route? I had some choice words for him. Hour walk to nearest train station...

Feel like I'm starting to take photo's that I actually like now. Steep learning curve going from a phone camera to a full frame! Enjoying learning something new :)
Some snaps from todays ride. Intermittent sun but when it came out it's a beautiful day.

Instantly obsessed with how a lump of nutella freed from the jar might behave in zero gravity. Now youtubing nutella viscosity

Hey y'all, I was recently hit by layoffs at Respawn/EA:
I'm a veteran #LevelDesigner with 17+yrs of exp in the AAA space (MP + SP, 3rd person + FPS).
I'm seeking a Principal Level Design or Lead LD/Design Manager role (I've worked in both IC + management) if y'all are hiring/know connections!

Crimson Desert really has the special exploration sauce. You can follow geological features for hours and its always a pleasure to do so. I think @skillup.bsky.social review hit the nail on the head - It's the 1st game since Skyrim to really make me feel like I felt playing that for the first time.

I spent some of this week making an I/O system for level scripting in Unreal for @sleightofhand.game! I have long had thoughts on why these kick ass. Here's an unusually long blog post on:

Crimson Desert frequently makes me swear at my screen whenever I come to an overlook and see just how vast the world is. Truly incredible every time.
