After a long hike across those mountains that your village deemed forsaken, you arrive at quite he unusual sight. Traces of a long-forgotten facility would leave you questioning whether things could have been different - intact. Working yourself through the piles of reagents, burnt paper and storage mediums, you end up in a chamber that seems passable. You might take a rest and fuel up on those gas canisters that were lying around next door, you think, as you play with the idea of turning this into a new home. A place to leave piece of you behind and to be the actor filling this scene with life and inspiration.

This is my laboratory. It's where I go to think about my journey online. It's when I choose to share my art with others. It's how I claim a little bit of space for myself. You can check out my virtual pets, look at my artwork or explore the different worlds I am trying to capture throughout my adventures.

Entrance

Inspired by the creativity of people online, this laboratory tries to honour and play with what the internet can be. It's my personal playground to shape, and destroy. In an effort to find anyone like-minded, I stray away from conventional virtual life on corporate social media to invite everyone into an endless space that deserves to be treated respectfully. My thoughts on such a future are under construction, and so is this page. Step by, and rest. For now, you can check out the different explorable rooms and see for yourself what kind of person I am online!

Virtual /Now

This is a living and breathing document about the things I am currently doing online. Anything /now is oddly personal and the dude who is being cited on it founded CD Baby, so who cares. I want to share how I dwell online, and the movements and spaces are what's interesting about this whole construct to me. Like you cared about my self-growth journey - you'd rather know what virtual pet site I am currently playing on!

Game Exploration Kit

Limbus Company
Hotel Dusk
Life is Strange 2
Kunitsu-Gami
Limbus Company: I am trying to find a Gacha game that deserves to be a gacha game, and this one really struck me as something more meaningful compared to the popular ones.
Hotel Dusk: What a banger. It was so refreshing to see how they decided to use the funny book-mode of the DS to make those beautifully animated portraits truly shine. The navigation works, the dialogue is goofy and super timely. I need to finish it still, but my few hours were absolutely perfect.
Life is Strange 2: Genuinely not as bad as people made it out to be. It made me think and wonder, which is what these games are about. 'Your choices matter' are the indie equivalent of 'Prepare to die', and we shouldn't hold it too highly. Read Review
Kunitsu-Gami: My game of the year. It made me feel like coming home from school again. Perfection. Read Review

Petsite of Interest

  • currently: Wolvden
  • Lioden: Decided to give it another go. It's still just really really weird, but my lions are dying, so I want to give them some final love.
  • Subeta: It was Luminaire! It's a bit like meeting your friends in your hometown again for christmas, because so many are coming back for it.

ARPG Tracks

  • currently: Puppillars
  • Cossetlings: Getting a first MYO is just not feasible. I would love to talk more about how difficult and potentially dangerous CS spaces are. I think it's where creative labor and community simply don't work out with capital in mind.
  • Puppillars: I drew three little designs and three random people took them! Very cute. I still love this place.
  • Xiunus: This place is so impressive. I really want to contribute more, but drawing many limbs just takes soooo much time for me. I hope I can find a good way to have more fun with this place, because it may be the most beautiful of Lorekeepers I have seen.
