👋 Hi! I'm Fran.

I'm trying to defeat capitalism by creating more than I consume.

I identify as non-binary, if that bothers you, leave💖.

I like to spend my time creating stories, games, music, software and 💚s with Aldi and Dori

Fortnight #1: Unlearning as a Starting Point

Oct 9 2024

In this article, I reflect on a pivotal moment in my career: the decision to abandon the pursuit of making a living from video games and explore new creative horizons. I discuss the importance of questioning our motivations and the need to unlearn habits imposed by contemporary society, aiming to return to intrinsically motivated creation. I share my current interests in writing, interactive fiction, and artificial intelligence, detailing my project Cuentitos Studio and the challenges I face in developing it. This piece marks the beginning of a journey of self-discovery and creative reinvention that I intend to continue documenting.

Fecal food, axillary love, and loneliness, lots of loneliness: Luis Carlos Barragán's Parásitos Perfectos.

Oct 7 2024

Every now and then, the universe finds a way to put something in my path that fascinates and inspires me to create. That happened to me with *Parásitos Perfectos* by Luis Carlos Barragán Castro. In his stories, loneliness becomes a cosmic force, and Barragán's queer sensibility brings a rare freshness to science fiction. A book that marks a before and after in Latin American speculative fiction.

The Next Ten Years

Sep 25 2024

Next year, I turn 40, and as round numbers tend to prompt reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to lay the foundations for the next decade. In this post, I reflect on what I’ve learned in my 30s, from dealing with migraines and ADHD to my new life philosophy, inspired by Taleb’s work and the concept of 'Slow Productivity.' I’m preparing for a more intentional life, moving to Mar del Plata, building our creative space, and exploring ways to live and work sustainably and in line with our values.
