First photoshoot of the year was a fun one! Still getting used the Sony A7C II, but it holds up well when paired with the 35mm 1.4 GM lens. #SonyAlpha #photography #NYC

Toriyama created a piece of work that unified many of us through relatable characters and a playful yet deeply emotionally driven narrative. Watching DBZ with my mom will forever be cemented to memory. Rest easy Toriyama, fortunate to have experienced your innovation to anime 🕊

Going to Joe Hisaishi for the second time, grab your tickets 🎟 NYC! The last show was incredible.

That's why he is the greatest of all time!

What's up creatives! I'm Cal, co-founder of JumpButton Studio and composer based in NYC with an affinity towards Fantasy and RPG titles. Attending GDC was not in the cards for me this year, but this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

The endurance on these titans is incredible. Nigerian Chess Master Tunde is aiming to break the record of longest chess marathon in the heart of Times Square along with Chess Master Shawn Martinez. Beyond respectable! #NYC #ChessMarathonForChange CHESS IN SLUMS AFRICA The Gift of Chess

Tunde & Shawn cemented a piece of history by setting a global chess record of a 60 hour non-stop chess marathon in NYC to empower the future generation of Africa. Amazing resilience! #ChessMarathonForChange #Tunde58hoursofChess #chessinslums #thegiftofchess

The amount of AI events taking place during Tech Week is staggering. However ambivalent you may be towards AI, ignoring it completely could potentially be to your own detriment. Stay sharp creatives, a shift is here.

INFJ Advocate has a nice ring to it.

Been such a wild 2024! Chess has been one of the ways I detach lately. Lots of things in the works, but taking breaks is necessary for the mental reset!

The Fire to Firaga: Remaking Final Fantasy VII was a great time! Lots of gems to absorb with a mix of sprinkled humor. But I'm glad other fans had also questioned the excessive use of mini games. That is currently my biggest resistance to loving Rebirth as I loved Remake.

I don't think I can get tired of these Distant Worlds concerts not gonna lie.

Zenitsu is about to be cold in the next Arc! Demon Slayer is doing some amazing work. Big love to Ufotable.

Joe Hisaishi: Music From Studio Ghibli was next level! Arguably one of the best orchestral concerts one can experience! #NYC #madisonsquaregarden

Got invited to the first Gaming on TikTok event in NYC and the shift of gaming is truly here. I used to be resistant to TikTok but their algorithm is the best I've seen on any app. When this gets applied to gaming I think marketing your indie games on TikTok will be the way!

Our team JumpButton Studio returns to host the PHL Gaming Conference in 2024 in collaboration with Google, Councilmember Isaiah Thomas, and Localhost! We hope to continue attracting aspiring game developers and talented operators in our industry year after year. #gamingnews #philly #gamedev

Is 🟦☁️ where I need to be now? Seems there is a migration in progress.
