Are you really owning your media?

In this episode, I share why I'm ditching streaming services and going back to physical media — DVDs, CDs, and even MP3 players. From music that gets swapped out without your knowledge to digital purchases that just disappear, the illusion of ownership is real. Plus, I'm bringing the cloud home with self-hosted services. Let's talk about taking back control.

I'm diving into why starting with simple on-screen elements is crucial for app and game development.

On a recent live stream, I worked on my UFO cow-abducting Roguelike using basic cubes and shapes instead of fancy graphics. This approach lets me focus on core features, workflows, and how the game actually feels to play.

Once I validated the concept and mechanics, I started replacing those simple elements with polished assets.

Skip the six-hour button design sessions early on—prioritize functionality first, and you'll be amazed at your progress.

I've given up on all social media platforms—they're drowning in AI-generated slop and clickbait.

It's heartbreaking because I'm missing genuine connections with friends and colleagues, but wading through the garbage isn't worth it anymore.

Save your sanity: quit doom scrolling and rethink who you follow.

I'm sharing my struggle with balancing multiple projects and life commitments. I've decided to stop killing projects and instead implement a disciplined schedule, dedicating specific days to game dev, podcasting, and app development. I'm also committing to better documentation, so I don't waste time remembering where I left off. Plus, I'll be sharing my app marketing research soon. It's about making sustainable progress without burning out.
