Thiruvalluvar really cooked with this one 🔥
Played on Kayali, the 3D printed Yaazh I recreated specifically for @visaigames.bsky.social's next soundtrack.
(Thanks to @kandasamy.bsky.social's Book Of Desire for reminding me of this banger)

Itching to show so much more but here's a look at one of the "bad guys" from our game.
Looking forward to you guys making him say things like:
"Huh What was that?? Must be the wind..."

Mayili is all set to be shipped to my bro @brownmoney.bsky.social so I made a Yaazh jam of his favourite song from Venba.
A 3D printed Yaazh made with durable ABS in pastel colors reminiscent of retro videogames.
Hope the folks at @visaigames.bsky.social get as much joy from playing this as I did 🤟💜

Platinum 67 - Venba. Lovely indie game about cooking & an immigrant experience. I totally related to the story having immigrants parents myself & being born & raised in Toronto. Can't wait to see what the developers do next!

The kid asked me to modify the Danger Snake game so that the randomly appearing bombs don't end the game - just cost a pixel instead.
The reasoning? Kabooms are fun. 💥
So now the bombs are actually treats because they reduce the likelihood of self-collision and help you get to a higher score. 🤷♂️

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

Hanging out with a 3yo this weekend and he taught me a game he had invented on his etch-a-sketch:
We'd draw things he didn't like, draw an explosion effect around it, and then disappear it while we both yelled "kaboom!"
It was too much fun & very therapeutic, so here you go.

I love using em dashes - a habit I picked up in my teens to sound sophisticated - but I've never had the patience to actually type out the right symbol and have always substituted them with hyphens instead.
If you ever need to spot the real me in a sea of AI clones, just look for the lazy one.
