GR/DT: An interaction designer’s navigation of this shared life we all live along with the wonderful world of wonder it provides. Using a design lens observe, here are my attempts to apply systems & design thinking. Follow @meltedlaughter . One half of the Energy Men. Talking about everything from data ethics to speculative futures. UX Interaction Design and all things digital product too. Remember, Get rich or design trying.
This is from a possible future sibling podcast. But it will be episode 6 of Get Rich or Design Trying. Back after a hiatus.
GTA6 is shaping up to be more than a game — it's a content creation platform. In this debut episode of Meltedlaughter, we break down one of the most quietly revolutionary features on the horizon: the ability to build your own missions, share them with the world, and then let AI turn your in-game chaos into polished, shareable video content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and beyond.We walk through how the GTA mission creator tools could let players design full narrative scenarios — heists, chases, street stories — and distribute them to other players like a mini game developer. Then we go a layer deeper: what happens when AI video generation tools can follow your character through those missions, apply cinematic cuts, add music, and spit out a highlight reel ready for the FYP?We're talking about a pipeline where you play, the AI films, and the internet watches — with almost no editing knowledge required.
We cover the tools already emerging in this space, what creators need to know right now to get ahead of the curve, and why GTA6 might accidentally birth a new wave of AI-assisted filmmakers who never touched a camera in their lives.Episode themes: Gaming, AI content tools, short-form video, creator economy, GTA6

Ep. 2 : GameStop Won't Stop (Part 1)
The rise of the retail trader. Here was a off the cuff response to what was happening with GameStop back in earlier in the year of 2021. I take a limited understanding of how I viewed the market dynamics occurring at the time. Some of the understanding about how stocks work and what certain companies did or didn't do because of regulations are not perfectly accurate, and in coming episodes I will amend that, however this is a recording that had originally meant to air at the time as contextual commentary. It is perhaps the start of my fascination with the design and order of financial markets and products.

Episode (-1) (Beta... Alpha... demo podcast from 2017) Young and Naive Designer on interfaces.
These are some segments of audio I recorded back in 2017 when Anchor was new and hip to the hop. I'm unsure why I never pushed on in making audio thoughts, but I have a series of word vomits building now recently (2021). So my first few episodes will be rough. This will stand as a reminder of where I came from and how we are progressing. This is just me talking about VR interfaces as extension of memory and also some ideas for a balance coach app interface. Get Rich or Design Trying
