He wanted to get up in my lap, fell asleep <3 he uses my left hand as a pillow, but it’s worth it to work with just one hand for a while

Yeah! And most (outside of tech industries) doesn’t even realize that they need to be involved in the making of it! They somehow want to “sell” the idea to someone who will make a game of it. Like they would get paid for the rights to the idea. The idea? Survival MMO with crypto swords 😆

There’s some good in this world, Mr Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.

My good in this world

Super cute cavalier dog named Banjo resting his head on dog toy, using it mega cutely as a pillow. The cavalier is a bleinhem color, so his coat is contrasting mix between white and red-brown. The dog is a small sized dog, and is laying on cozy fuzzy blue bed.

Background to post; Banjo was born in 2022, and has been going through some stuff lately with an another dog breaking his front leg in a vicious and unprovoked attack early December 2024. The poster has moved mountains (not literal) to make sure he can keep his leg and it’s been an uphill battle. Worth fighting for!

But! The amount of times I would had become rich if I just had jumped on board all these brilliant ideas! 😆

" I just need an introduction to like a person with money and a team of programmers! "

" Have you ever made a game?"
"Nooo, buuut, BRUH! MAH IDEA! "

Been away for two months due to some unfortunate happenings with my dog! He got attacked by two other dogs, but he survived! It’s been a long journey of rehab and surgeries, and things are finally looking up! Feel like I’m ready to jump into the fog of social media once more 👋👋 what’s up!

日本語を話すみなさんへ、今日はJLPT N5が終わりました！やった！
デンマークで試験を受けました！
今、私の国へ電車で帰っています。6時間かかりますけど、うれしいです！

試験で、語彙と漢字の問題は完璧に答えられたと思います！でも、文法の問題はちょっと難しかったです…😓

実は、試験のとき、最後の問題を解いているとき、残り5分しかありませんでした！本当にびっくりしましたよ！そのとき、少し急ぎ始めましたけど、たぶん大丈夫だと思います。

それから、聞き取りの問題もうまくできました。試験は合格すると思います！✌️

もうすぐ日本へまた行きたいですよ！☺️
そのときまで、日本語をもっと勉強します！💪

Not a bad idea!! But I think this dress has a hard time acting demure/casual even with styling 😆 against its nature!

Elvira Björkman @bjorkmanelvira.bsky.social · Nov 28

thank you! 😊
It’s a favorite! Not the cheapest either, but worth it for the rizz drip swag effect 😂

Unfortunately a bit too of an expensive and too long trip for just one evening of partying I’m afraid! Gotta work hard to get nominated again I guess 😋

That time I crossed the ocean, dressed up real fancy for The Game Awards, barely got in because even though we were nominated for Best Music, with an invite to go there, we weren’t on any lists except the people-to-check-for-Covid-list, and then we won nothing but the experience 😂

Unfortunately the soundtrack isn’t officially released outside of the game :( hope to change that in the future, but that’s how it is atm!

There’s snippets to listen to on our website (browser version) for the one curious to get a quick overview of it!
