Honestly I’d stop if I could, but I just get carried away. After making a compiler for tmux, then solving sudoku, then playing video I wasn’t planning on making a game. These things just happen to you. Well maybe not to you, but they happen to me.

I organized a 10-day game of tag with 10 of my college friends (ntnbr.com)
From Feb 21 – Mar 3, I hosted a phenomenal game of tag with 10 of my friends from TexasTableTop (UT Austin's board game club). This game had it all: deception, betrayal, ambushes, chase scenes—you know, classic tag shenanigans! I also had to walk 8.34 miles on Speedway because I lost the game. It's a great story. Let me tell you all about it.
