Frankly it's more detailed than anything about New York in the game!

I miss when, for work, I needed to randomly stand up from my computer desk and dance choreography for Lady Gaga 20 times a day. We need to make more dance games.

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Tokyo has a new independent English language bookstore! They've got a good selection of queer books and books on Palestine. Please give them all your money. featherheartbooks.com

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

Tonight my Pikmin and I barely survived this boss battle outside the JR station.

Just learned that there is a new cafe open in my Tokyo neighborhood, run by a QUEER COUPLE, with a DOG, and they serve SANDWICHES! It's the cafe trifecta!!!

Just saw a crow steal a cookie in a wrapper from bike basket, open the wrapper, and eat the cookie. Nature is beautiful

I am absolutely floored that a festival in New York got Godzilla Minus Zero before Tokyo. I can't believe Takaichi would let this happen.

I like how vacation ads in Japan are always of women traveling far away from Tokyo solo. Like, don't you just want to be away from EVERYONE? Just get on a train and go girl. The dream

The Steam Frame is still something I want to get, eventually... I never invested in full room scale VR, but I loved developing for and playing games on like, 1st/2nd gen of modern VR headsets. There's still an amazing library of VR indie games out there that never really got discovered.

Damn you shark girl, you're killing me

The price of the Steam Frame in Japan, 199,980 yen

Let me innnnnn! I probably cannot afford a Steam Frame for whatever its horrible markup in Japanese yen will be, but I still want to dream.

I hadn't shared this here yet, but I have started a new job at a brand new game studio in Tokyo! If you see me this week at TGS, you can ask me about it. Otherwise, stay tuned!

The chant you're hearing is "FIRST! DO NO HARM!" Huge high five to everyone who came out to the protest at Mount Sinai over the hospital's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. 🧵 of photos to follow!
