Although I'm quite busy with the js13kGames competition, I did find the time to attend ETHWarsaw conference that happened last week as I missed the first two editions entirely.
Learning the truth that the only constant is change is the most annoying thing someone with a solid plan can experience. Bonus points if you're in the autism spectrum and hate any changes to your plan whatsoever.
StickerMule, the company from which we're buying all our stickers for more than a decade already decided to print tweets and frame them, so you can hang them on your wall. Weird? Yes. Did I get one? Obviously!
I'm staying in the GitHub Stars program for another year! I wasn't sure this will be extended for the fourth time, since at the very beginning the plan was to have any given Star for a maximum of three years in the program and then automatically turn them into an alumni.

It's my third year as a GitHub Star, but due to Covid this was the very first opportunity to actually go to San Francisco for Nova, the in-person conference exclusively for all the Stars, instead of watching it remotely like in previous years.
I was hired to beta-test the Neuroshima Hex game demo for PC that was recently released on Steam. I guess running the NeuroshimaHex.pl fan site for thirteen years might've helped land that gig a bit.
The second W3C Games CG meetup this year (after the first one about Hyperledger's MESIG gaming subgroup) was held online on Tuesday, June 27th 2023 - Björn Ritzl was giving a talk about Defold, and then all participants were discussing the future of the group itself.
After half a year of no activity we got back with the W3C Games CG meetup last week on April 18th, this time with Sandy Aggarwal talking about Hyperledger's MESIG gaming subgroup. It was also the very first W3C Games meetup with me as co-chair.
I'm happy and proud to say that my GitHub Star status was renewed for the third year, extending my stay in the program for the whole 2023!
