Porca miseria, I made this game and it's about one of the most Italian experiences that exists: Going to a restaurant and trying to find a quiet table far from Italians yelling like they're at a soccer stadium. I called it Don Vincenzo. It's like Minesweeper, but instead of mines there are loud Italians. And … Continue reading Don Vincenzo: A Minesweeper twist.

Seriously" by UAP, and... mamma mia! 🤌 What a fun!We dove deep into my musical journey, from those early days of using my mom's wooden spoons on my straw chairs to crafting synthwave hits.
