I've decided to replace doom scrolling with learning Mandarin. Any recommendations for getting started?

Today someone said I looked like a character from Arcane and I think it's the best compliment I've ever gotten.

One of my students won Gold at the the GDC Narrative Game Review and I am SUPER PROUD like as if it were my own child. I'm especially touched because she wrote about *Eliza* after I recommended it as one of my top fav games of all time! She played and LOVED it as much as I did.

What are your top 5 favorite narrative games? Like specifically visual novel or point and click adventures. What do you like about the story?

My cat absolutely hates it when I shower. She stands in the room screaming her discontent. Is this normal?

I've been working on a post about the troubling intersections of community, game design, and fascism for like 3 months now and I'm now at the point where I look at it and go.... maybe this is a book?

Incredibly useful and so creative! I shared this whole thread with all my prof. colleagues at Northeastern University. Thank you for sharing!

I think my type is "lives over 1000 miles away". Figuratively or literally. Both count.

The world really could use a good "Enemies to Lovers" redemption arc right about now...

Sometimes you get exactly what you need. This spoopy little baby teaches me who's in charge every day. It's her.

Aura photography is so freaking fun. Here's my aura 6 months ago vs two days ago.

For instance: editorial discretion and peer review can be self-correcting, but they can also reinforce biases/inaccuracies in data collection/analysis/application. So, does "self-correction" (or lack thereof) optimally distinguish the old/new models? Scale seems to play a big role here, too.

Finished reading "Nexus" by Yuval Noah Harari and this is my key takeaway visualized.

Cozy plane vibes. Just a quick hop across the pond to London!

We just ran a wildly successful event in "Pride Goeth Before the Fall". I attribute some of this success to the social design of the show. Read on in this thread...

I just learned that 7% of X accounts were bots but 25% of content was bots, and most of it hate. I wonder how Bsky plans to avoid: * Outrage-provoking algorithms designed to maximize engagement * Bot takeover

Noticing the stark contrast between experience and perception on the internet especially when it comes to game design. Followers are a form of gamified social credit that ends up translating to revenue. This may have nothing to do with the quality or experience of your game.

My favorite new way to greet an audience: "Ladies and gentlemen and everyone with a mullet!"
