I always used the “light at the end of a tunnel” idiom and mental image to describe clarity about long term goals, but I didn’t think much about the darkness of the long tunnel surrounding it. Looking back this was blissful ignorance.

I don’t understand folks wishing those affected by the layoffs to land on their feet. Do you realize that if they land on their feet they will never walk again?

Oh wow, yes pls more Wariowarelikes.

Hear me out. Wind strength should be measured by how full a coffee cup is when it starts moving it.

The only useful thing Samwise did in the entire journey.

Fun read on how not to do things! Massive contrast to how Sony handled Little Big Planet. www.polygon.com/features/507...

Can we just stop using BST, CET, EST, PST, etc when setting meetings? Some places have daylight saving, some places don’t and if I don’t add the S it always shows the non-daylight saving time and that’s just confusing. Just tell me which city you are in.

Watching the early survivors' footage out of Gaza -the dead, the massacred, the razed, the destroyed, the ravaged, the mutilated- and honestly, I don't think I have seen a scale of relentless pure evil like Israel's US-backed genocide, the apartheid, and the occupation of Palestine in my lifetime.

This is a good interview about Palestinian history & present behind Dreams on a Pillow

Al Jazeera reports in-depth about @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's Dreams on a Pillow. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/...

Brace yourself Elon, we will be murdering the vibe.

15 years ago when I organized the first Game Zanga (MENA/Arabic focused game jam), Ludum Dare was a huge source of inspiration. I don’t think Game Zanga would exist if it wasn’t for Ludum Dare.

Dreams on a Pillow, its crowdfunding success, and how much the game managed to get talked about, prove that games --as all art-- can be crucial communication tools. www.gamedeveloper.com/production/d...

Le financement de Dreams on a Pillow est enfin terminé 🍉 Merci à tous ceux qui ont contribué à la réussite de l'aventure de @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social 🙏 Mais ce n'est que le début, et je compte sur vous pour supporter ce projet et ses créateurs jusqu'au bout 👊💥

~2 hours until Dreams on a Pillow is officially funded. In this evil world, who would've thought that a Palestinian would ever get to make a game about his lands' history? Thank you all that supported or signal boosted, & if you still wanna chip in, you still can! www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Less than 4 hours to go! We’re 10k away from hitting 50% of total game budget. Can we do it? Reserve your copy now: Launchgood.com/1948

Wonderful interview by @zaidkriel.bsky.social over at South Africa's IGN franchise, IGN ZA. Still having a fading hope that IGN International or Gamespot will share the story eventually too - for now, I'd appreciate if y'all went and read this. za.ign.com/dreams-on-a-...

Our own @zaidkriel.bsky.social spoke with Palestinian indie Dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about his new game, Dreams on a Pillow, the tale of the 1948 Nakba. Are video games the right space for this kind of story? Rasheed thinks so.

My first feature of 2025 & it was a real struggle. Got major anxiety writing this worried I would get the story wrong, sound biased, get the wrong attention from the wrong people. But it's here now and I hope it helps. Please share. Thank you @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social for trusting me with this.

Final 10 hours! www.launchgood.com/1948

The Big Brain Academy (Yawaraka Atama Juku) series has some of the most brilliant multiplayer dynamics I’ve seen. Deserves to be studied. And the team behind it deserves to get its “industry moment”.
