About Me

  • Night-Owl
  • Big fan of Synthwave, Phonk, long walks and brilliant ideas that change the very field the game is being played on
  • Anti-Essentialist, Naturalist, Structuralist (see also Bundle Theory)
  • On the one hand, I want to get things done and be maximally pragmatic. On the other hand, I want to experiment and do creative things without clear purpose.
