My new blog post covers my takeaways from the book "Die With Zero" by Bill Perkins. It's a provocative look at personal finance that argues for creating "memory dividends" instead of just saving. If you're into lifestyle design, this book is a must-read. https://t.co/NnTYvN97g1

If you're into game design or how stories are told in games, I wrote about one of my favorite little details in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and how it uniquely blends its gameplay with its first-person narration. Let me know what you think! https://t.co/EgD3hIeui1

I’ve revamped https://t.co/fDEWXv5D47 to be my outlet for all my writings, musings, and life stories. Topics will range from lifestyle design, “Andy lore,” and Japan travel tips to media analysis, coding wisdom, and financial learnings.

More posts coming most Saturdays! Enjoy!

I’ve been experimenting with creating music with AI. My first AI-assisted song “Not Financial Advice” is a fun tune about the ever-present disclaimer you hear all over personal finance spaces. Take a listen and let me know what you think! https://t.co/7lBUybFwEu

Had a wonderful time @omt_conf during #WWDC24. There’s nothing like getting to meet new people, cheering along with them during the @Apple keynote, and discussing our favorite parts and potential afterwards. I loved learning from everyone. @JJAllenTech @drgntrn

June 2024 is really trying to exude main character energy by spanning an entire 6 weeks.

Is that pile of clothes still on your bed? Just think of it as a free weighted blanket! 🛌

Early 2020: Gotta clean my room to make sure my background on Zoom looks tidy and professional.

Today: “Wow, your background looks so nice!” Thanks, I’m at a space colony on the moon.

@lolkat Kat, this video is amazing and the hard, meticulous work you put into it really shows. I loved hearing the shout-outs during your findings and due diligence throughout the video. Honestly, I believe this video will become required watching for anyone making content online.

@Babylonian My wife and I visited Michaelsoft Binbows and brought along our signed Binbows-tan polaroid from your merch store! We ate at the Sononi Izakaya and left a fun review on Google Maps. Hope you enjoy the photos! https://t.co/Gn4DcVxOfg

@classicbri Glad it’s coming back, regardless of the form it takes. Glad it can become more sustainable and not take such a toll. Looking forward to it!

[Andy Reyes @andyjreyes]

@classicbri Count me as one of the people excited for this! This is wonderful news! Looking forward to Author, Kate, and Litchfield’s return. Just tell me where to sign up!

Almost missed the train on backing the Lackadaisy animation project. Watch the amazing pilot: https://t.co/5PGNgzmpZv It's a webcomic turned animation! The comic art looks amazing! Can't wait to learn more about this world and its characters! https://t.co/WDYRhkcIOp

I just backed Ratatan on @Kickstarter. If you're thinking, "Hey, this looks like Patapon!" it's actually the same team! Looking forward to my digital copy on the Switch (or maybe even Switch 2).

Disney Legend Andreas Deja completed his independent animated film Mushka and screened it at #SDCC! It’s about a girl who raises a baby tiger. It’s great to see independent projects that also bring in budding animators to learn from the animation legends.

Saturday’s Felicia Day panel at #SDCC was great! I’ve been meaning to show Amy lots of her influential work, particularly her web shows. But after learning on her panel she enjoys reading Lit RPGs and wants to write one too, we have a new angle through which to approach her work.

@SpaceyScorpion Did it come in a protective roll, or was it just rolled up with a rubber band? Wondering if it’ll fit in a suitcase.

Our first #SDCC destination: Ballroom 20 for the Animation Show of Shows panel! (Which just HAPPENS to be before the Good Omens Season 2 screening.) It’s 10am and Ballroom 20 is EM-PTY! All you Good Omens fans (and animation fans), this is your chance!

I’ve been attending San Diego Comic-Con every single year since middle school. Each year is different, but this year is extra special! It’s my first #SDCC with Amy as my wife! We have lots of fun things planned. Looking forward to sharing our adventures with you!
