I finally got to play through Venba, the narrative game by @visaigames.bsky.social, and I am just blown away by how beautiful, thoughtful, and authentic it is. The focus on an immigrant family and how perspective shifts between generations, told through the lens cooking… wow. venbagame.com

Cook delicious South-Indian food and experience the journey of an immigrant family in Venba!

Whoa this is pretty huge - godot was used more than unity in the GMTK game jam, one of the biggest game jams around. Great for Godot, but also sad how unity has just fumbled over and over. bsky.app/profile/game...

Marie and I really enjoyed “This is a Gardening Show”! It’s a rare perfect mix of chill vibes and light humor. (And we learned a bit too) www.netflix.com/title/81902230 #netflix #zachgalifianakis

Watch This Is a Gardening Show | Netflix Official Site
Zach Galifianakis digs into the world of gardening, interviewing curious kids and eccentric experts in a funny, oddball celebration of the food we eat.

I get they’re trying to do a mashup but… “have it the way” doesn’t make sense 😭. Not just grammatically but also philosophically: one is about personalization and the other is about following shared morals. #burgerking #mandalorian

These are two of the most beautiful and original films in YEARS, not just 2025. Triumphs of creative vision and collaboration, sorely needed in the age of AI hype. Really hoping they get some recognition tonight.

This is a wonderful player mindset! It’s the same philosophy championed by Bernie Dekoven in “the well played game”: if we are both fully engaged in the game, the fruit is not the outcome but the unique experience we shared together. If only we could all approach games this way.

Crazy idea: What if we repurposed #BlackFriday? Maybe instead of shopping and consumerism that feeds oligarchy… it could be about supporting black artists and businesses? Maybe instead of concentrating wealth, we redistribute it?

A first for me: I wrote a song inside a dream! I was about to show it to some musical friends, started getting shy and stalling, then suddenly woke up. It was 3am so I jotted down the words with solfège, and tried to go back to sleep. Can now confirm: the song is… very mediocre!

When AI evangelists say “AI is just a tool”, it sounds a lot like “guns don’t kill people”. Sure they CAN be used for good… but that’s not why we’re complaining.
