I think I've finally found a good balance for social media. I post only via an external tool, and check the socials like twice a day for comments to respond to. I do a little 1 minute feed check then, but don't doom scroll at all anymore!

Heyy I have bills and thus commissions are OPEN. Prices range 50eu to 450eu. DM me.

I recently found out all my favourite manga are made by women. Fullmetal Alchemist, Dungeon Meshi, Frieren, Dorohedoro, many more. I think it's because these writers tend to focus more on character development than anything else. Good stuff!

Its interesting how every game design podcast I listened to very quickly becomes board game only. I think it's partially because board game design is closer to the source, so to speak, but also vidoe game developers dont have any time to do podcasts lol #gamedev

This is a weird shout maybe, but does anyone know any Korean cultural funds that want to put some money towards small game projects about Korean history and culture? #gamedev #korea

These days we choose when to end stories, by stop watching shows a couple of seasons in, because corporations are incapable of wrapping things up nicely to milk it for more content.

Any angel investors out there want to drop a couple of mil on a game, no strings attached? #gamedev

I've been mostly doing writing and pre-production on my Joseon dynasty-inspired experimental narrative game, but I do have this little art test to share. It's all shaders baby! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Midst was such a breath of fresh air and I'm so glad it's wrapped up and doesnt go on forever.

I'm not that much into gacha but in Japan I got a miniature sniper inside a peanut shell so thats good

Sometimes when I wake up from a nap I feel like a newborn baby read to take on the day, but most of the time I feel like black and white spongebob

Now we can clearly see the usefulness of venture capital and CEO bonuses is misplaced, maybe we can step away from the speculative assets and just go back to making some money from customers.

Some facts about me that I completely forgot myself: - I wrote a children's book - I've written and recorded dutch parody rap - I was raised Christian - I made a Wordle parody called Weirdl by ripping the source code - I invented a replacement for the happy birthday song

Sometimes I wonder if the US Democrats are in cahoots with the Republicans, cuz the only way you'd be able to lose a debate against a convicted felon and failed businessman is to put a senile old man on your own team.

7 Games with Interesting Narrative: Citizen Sleeper, Inscryption, Reigns, Papers, Please & More - YouTubeyoutu.be This is my new series of micro case studies of games with interesting narrative mechanics: Narrative Nibbles. Today we check out Citizen Sleeper, Inscryption...

Should a business focus on profitability or on usefulness? I know the answer

Im seeing a huge uptick in many subreddits where commenters just reply: 'I asked ChatGTP and it said this' with completely unfounded information. Another great step to normalizing misinformation

Cant believe I told people that police cars should burn in a gamedev edutainment video and it still did well on the algoritm

The internet, intended to be an endless source of knowledge, is now poisoned by misinformation to the benefit of tech companies. How would the internet have looked if monetization was never an option?
