💤 Places I've dreamt of this week... There was this strange lobby. Decently ventilated, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. 🧵 [1/6] #unplaces #indiegamedev #miro

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).

[🗼 - THE TOWER ] Every corner turned, every photograph examined, I felt this place shift, and the floor rumbling beneath me. 10/10 would get lost here again. So can you: miro.com/app/board/uX... 🧵 [2/3]

Look Unplaces now has an actual social media account

collecting dream pies for Cauldron, the 2nd mini game in Unplaces 🌀 sweet, savory, magical, cursed — if you can call it a pie, it counts (yes, sandwich too) submit your dream pie here: 🥧 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... wander the Unplaces: miro.com/app/board/uX...

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

I made a sweater, I will like to note that you should not try intersia for the first time with mohair

I think I might be crafting too much, I might need a break from making stuff to actually do my actual work

I can't even process Jimmy Kimmel being too edgy for the establishment. Motherfucker doesn't have enough edge to open a pouch of Capri Sun

Showing up here to announce to the world that I started watching the Chinese omegaverse BL We already have pheromones and the promise of a mpreg

✨ Exciting news! ✨ I’m happy to share that I’ve received an OAC grant for Unplaces, a map-based game (built in Miro) exploring places that exist only in dreams. This is a work in progress, but the very first mini-game, The Tower, is now live at: miro.com/app/board/uX...

Ok but it the endless amount of awfulness going on right now, the ceo getting caught cheating in the Coldplay concert gives me so much joy

Hello, internet! In my latest attempt to escape reality, I’ve become somewhat addicted to short Chinese vertical dramas where the protagonist dies and then gets reborn before all the terrible things happen (and gets her revenge) their are hundreds of those, i adore all of them

I’m in the new Rogers stadium and I’m shockingly impressed by everything

A while back, I made a TTRPG inspired by Kpop survival shows. I originally planned to release it when Kpop Demon Hunters dropped. But plot twist, it’s now set to launch with the premiere of Boys 2 Planet! In the meantime… the itch.io page is officially live!!! 🎉👀 yifatshaik.itch.io/gliter-and-g...

Nothing ever made me feel more like a token "woman in games" as when everyone was praising Briana Wu shitty game because she was a GG victim. Anyway, this is really funny...

NextGen showcase was a great success and I spent most of it showing people my fancy new convertible shoes

Everything is on fire, but at least I am less burned out from the last semester

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember: • do not announce you're attending online • do not sign any online RSVP • wear a mask • wear clothes that don't draw attention • leave your phone at home • bring bottled water • do not speak to cops • do not post photos after

I am in sabbatical this year, and starting it by taking some pottery classes and making some very ugly pots

NextGen showcase is back for the 3rd time as part of Toronto Games Week! NextGen Showcase is a curated showcase, featuring games crafted by emerging talents in Toronto's vibrant game development scene. Join us on Sunday, June 15th, 7 pm-9 pm in CSI Spadina torontogamesweek.com/schedule.html

It’s finally official- I received my tenure and will be promoted to associate professor starting in July

Had some plans for new years but decided to just fuck it and spend it writing a grant because why not

Value village had some finds this morning

My Christmas/Hanukkah gifts

I agree with Didi here, people give way to much credit to the Israeli government

I am going to slowly post some students games from this year as I grade them because I've gotten some truly incredible work this year

I am procrastinating grading so much that I’ve made a list of my favourite kpop songs from this year

This year Christmas gifts to friends (which will probably arrive very late) are a bunch of 3D printed pins of strange underwater animals Here are the sketches, will post updates as I go

Date night (we are trying to watch megalopolis)

Look my sons sang the ost for the new Pokémon show

everything about this attempted coup is the funniest thing ever

This tread has everything from drunk skeeting to trot music

Howdy, all! We want to be able to continue to host videogame events in Toronto & host fun accessible workshops. Donations helps make it happen! 🧡 www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

This was a very clumsy attempt for a coup, first you need to erode every institution that provides any critical view of the government, than you build some nationalism than you declare martial law
