The original Dark Souls is without a doubt my game of the decade. Everything from its interconnected world, skillful mechanics, and ever-deepening story shows the brilliance in its design. What really keeps me coming back though is the creativity of its modding community.
This year I learned about an annual event named Hacktoberfest. Hosted by Digital Ocean, it encourages programmers to contribute to various open source projects.

I’ve spent my last few weekends working on a new web app. Similar to Steampunk Spider, this tool was built to aid in repetitive mod tasks. It was written for the Dark Souls network of subreddits.
