I never interacted with him here specifically because he reminded me of a guy I used to be friends with in high school. The similarities in the way they both spoke were uncanny. Maybe they're manifestations of a particular archetype of British nerd? The guy I knew was a huge nerd, like me and the rest of our friends, but I think he was uncomfortable with it, so he always had to have 'figured out' whatever we were talking about, and had a habit of bringing conversation around to himself.

For the guy I knew, it was a sign of insecurity and autism. I suspect it's probably the same for our ex-resident game dev.

Anyway, he brought some life to this place so I'm not happy he's gone. Hope his game turns out well.
