we have a choice in the reality we create.
what seeds are we, each of us, planting today? seeds of fear and violence? or seeds of love, kindness, faith in goodness, tenderness, and nonaggression?

what do we do? what do we do as individuals in the face of these challenges? we begin with ourselves, our own heart, our own mind. we train with them and practice with them in a way that isn’t aggressive and promotes equanimity…

Okay, I'm not usually one for #introduction posts, but here goes:
I grew up in the very conservative American Midwest and then moved to #Florida on my 18th birthday.
I love building #VideoGames more than I love playing them. I started my career with #EASports working on their first #MMA game (what later became the UFC series). I've since gone indie and released two #games by myself: #uFactory (https://store.steampowered.com/app/923710/uFactory/), a big game still in Early Access, and #CircuitCity (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1748260/Circuit_City/), a little game built around the idea of gameplay driving music. I also released a fun little demo for #VR a while back called #GrapplePlanet (https://lucidsilencegames.itch.io/grapple-planet)
I'm still building more games (and working on uFactory!) while paying the bills with drier #SoftwareEngineering work, hoping to eventually release a game that can grasp a chunk of the zeitgeist.
On here, I'll mostly be debating #technology, #freespeech (largely in the context of #America's #FirstAmendment), and general #AmericanPolitics. My political leaning can most closely be described as "left-libertarian". I.e. Everyone deserves #EqualRights, consistent with the #NonAggression policy. I registered as a #Democrat on January 7th, 2021.
Feel free to reach out. I'm happy to debate anyone in good faith.
