Here's a 🧵

Wow, okay. People weren't lying when they said K-Pop Demon Hunters had the juice.

What a phenomenal accomplishment on every level.

I was such a mark for these games as a kid, but I never had a chance to play. We didn't have a home computer growing up.

That Nintendo video is just a Pikmin movie teaser with all of the Pikmin edited out of it, right?

I think it's important that we normalize men crying—specifically, straight men. I believe there's a negative stigma surrounding it, mostly among ourselves.

Here are four scenes that bring me to tears every time I watch them. Care to show me yours?

Never feel inadequate in what you do for work.

The person/machine responsible for putting sprinkles on cosmic brownies has been abysmally incompetent for decades and still holds its job.

Oh no, Auri! My wallet can't handle this.

Sometimes it feels like everything in the world is sliding backward, and it gets overwhelming.

And then I think about the art community—the people making and sharing work, supporting each other, keeping creativity alive. I’m just really grateful to be here with all of you.

What a weird and off-putting way to kick off the Spooktober season. I really enjoyed this bite-sized exploration of designer/player dynamics. Worth every penny, and click.

And it's on sale for just $2 on Steam until 10/6/25!

🎃SPOOKTOBER THREAD🎃

I'm going to create a thread for all the Horror, Halloween, and spooky vibes-related media I check out in October 2025.

Rest in peace to one of the most pivotal conservationists and researchers of my lifetime. Both her and Steve Irwin played a key role in my love of animals and environmental/conservation efforts/beliefs.

Dr. Jane Goodall, the world-renowned chimpanzee researcher, anthropologist, and conservationist, has died at 91.

Same, but with Rocket League.

Blue Prince and Citizen Sleeper 2 are fighting for the top spot, but I'm still working through the rest of 2025's bangers.

If I ever become rich, no one will ever know, but there will definitely be signs.

Seems like any of us who have a spine and a brain are feeling that way, huh?

This adorable kid turns 34 today.

Growing old is such a privilege, so here’s hoping I’m only a third of the way through.

I don't want to speak for Rami, but they follow each other. Could be something there. Hope your game finds success!
