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.
In November of 2023, I participated in Tildes’ annual Backlog Burner event. It’s a community-run event where participants play through unfinished titles in their gaming libraries.
