Israel's latest statements are a classic showoff of narcissism:

www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

- Victimizing self: When you commit a Genocide against a people for 600+ days and kill more than 50k innocent people, you can no longer play the victim card.

Israel now plans to invade and occupy all of Gaza, just like they have with all of Palestine. Where are the world leaders who speak up against this? Who oppose the #genocide of 50,000+ Palestinians? Sponsored by the US.

Are you also an instagram hobby photographer?

As I'm phasing out Meta products, I'm now putting my beauty shots on Pexels.com (free stock image site) instead - perhaps something for you too?

Does anyone defrag their hard drives any more?

I feel like old Cranky Kong for bringing this up, but, back in the days, we'd do this to optimize our computers, bringing files together that were shattered around, which improved data access times...

Fellow D&D enthusiasts! What would be some fitting - and useful - spells, cantrips, reactions etc to pick for my drow?

Last day of the Steam and GOG.com sales!

Inform yourself before you buy!

In EU, stores must display the lowest price a product had before a reduction, and it's showing GOG.com's misleading market practices... 😱

What game have you gotten this sale? I'm on the fence on this one =)

Yearly recaps are here across so many platforms! Which is your favourite? My steam one was depressing but my Miro one was impressive, I guess I've had good work discipline this year :)

A little-known fact about me is that I played MMORPGs in a Ukrainian-Russian clan in 2005, and retain many friends to this day.

I'm therefore very honored to be speaking at Xbox Game Campus Ukraine on Dec 12, a virtual game conference for Ukrainian devs.

Bluesky - personal or business?

Normally, I use my business branding on all my socials.

But, so far, Bluesky feels personal - meeting new friends - rather than business. Being too biz just feels impersonal.

So, to upload, or not to upload, my new #solopreneur banner?

What's your take?

Today is my 𝟯-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 as a #solopreneur, and so far I've:
✔️ 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 to Portugal
✔️ Become a #digital #nomad
✔️ S𝗽𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 at many big 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀
✔️ Run my own 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀
✔️ Starred as 𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗿
✔️ ️Started onboarding my very own 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁!

It's been a wild ride 🤩!

Here's to another 3 years 🎉

I'm looking for opinions on ditching google meet/zoom/teams and using freeconference.com instead - anyone with experience?

So far from testing it out, it seems great and so streamlined. There has to be a catch as to why I haven't even heard of it much less seen it be used?

Thanks for sharing this, lovely to see a behind-the-scenes, kind of like when I saw the Star Wars miniatures used for the OG Series!

Inspirational work - and actually inspired me to take this photo in Guatemala 2014. No edits, just camera set on sephia at time of taking.

The great #migration is finally happening, at least for game industry people. I'm planning to get more active here soon

I just added my bsky tag to my twitter name. I suggest you do the same!

#Digitalnomad update!

After 3 months in #Portugal, the time has come to finally #register as a #resident at the Town Hall where I reportedly need to stand in queue 3 times (!)

My tactic to overwhelm them with documents so they register me to get rid of me 😇

Wish me luck! 🍀

Digital nomad update - I now have my #NISS aka social insurance!

This Portuguese process started super slick with an online form. However - it continued by having to call in to book an appointment, wait a month (!) and go to a faraway office.

Mission finally accomplished 😎

I had a great time at #devcom and #gamescom last week!

4 stage appearances, 9 events and 19 meetings later, I'm keen for some rest, but also looking forward to all follow-ups.

Thanks to everyone who came to my sessions - you are the reason I keep doing this.

See you again next year!

The GamesCom bonanza has begun! Today I'll be ping-ponging between business halls, hotel lobbies, nearby cafés and finally end up at the Nordic party tonight.

Excited to meet old friends from back home, all in one great party, and share anectores and plans to take over the universe. See you there?

Just wrapped up my gamedesign talk at devcom! Loved seeing so many making it out, we almost filled up mainstage 🤩 Thanks for coming!

Now an evening with chill and mingle before my bossfight workshop tomorrow at 11.30 😎

Hello Helsinki! I'm bootcamping with SuperCell this week to boost one of their game teams :-)

This is a new service where I play and do live analysis of their game and co-design improvements with the team.

If you're interested in having me help your game, get in touch on [email protected].
