I played 49 demos during this season's #SteamNextFest and recorded most of my first looks! youtube.com/@brohannesja... The clear next step is to make a video about the pros/cons of the three book-y upcoming games, from the pov of a practicing librarian (that's me!).Stay tuned!

It's #steamnextfest and also #womensdaysale but it is also the Day of Buy Nothing. Those sales go until March 3 and March 9 respectively. Please wait. Hey, play some demos or watch my demo-sampling videos as you wait ❤️

Our newest research in @nature.com We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📹 @sasaspacal.bsky.social

I put up another batch of videos of demos last night! youtube.com/@brohannesja... I share unfiltered, unedited first looks at demos. Some I love, some I end up unwishlisting, and that's the point of a demo imo. I hope my videos are illuminating for players and devs alike! #steamnextfest

New videos of Steam Next Fest demos! youtube.com/@brohannesja... These are my first ever. I know i need to make title and end cards and a logo and stuff, but all in due time. Right now, the priority is playing AAAAALL the demos!

Next Fest is upon us! And I'm for sure going to start my YouTube channel, giving first looks & reactions to game demos. I have 36 queued up. Aaaand I also have a sore throat/cold, so we will do what we can while the event is still relevant 😂 Wish me luck! #steamnextfest

If you heard something in the wind, it was the sound of the entirety of Maine activating like sleeper agents to glower in the direction D.C.

I miss Twitch streaming, but it was hard for me to keep a strict schedule for going live. I miss my short-lived game review blog, that just didn't jive with me...and yet I miss it. So, I'm thinking about finally doing YouTube videos, focusing on indie game beta/demo reviews. Thoughts?

Is Bluesky worth it for promoting cozy/wholesome games? We haven't had quite as much success here as on the Other Place...but I think it's nicer here and I want to stay ☺️ If our game looks like your cup of tea, could you please like & share this? More info in 🧵⬇️

Just learned about the #StorytellersFestival on Steam, which is offering a sale on amazing narrative-heavy games and there's a bunch of new demos! An oldie but a goodie (wow, 7 years is old? Oof) that I recommend very highly: The Red Strings Club! store.steampowered.com/app/589780/T...

This seems fun, I'll do the same. I'll reveal games i have in my Unplayed list on Steam, and I'd love to hear which ones to prioritize!

The perfect snowday: playing Stardew Valley while listening to Paulo Freire on audiobook.

I know the importance and wonders of calling my representative, but can I just...text them?

Hello, I'm Pri! 🌸 I'm looking for long term and/or studio work as a game writer and/or narrative designer. I've written several games throughout the years & can write different types of genres. If you're interested, please contact me at [email protected] RTs are very appreciated! Thank you!

Between scrubbing the existence of PEPFAR and the silencing of the TB epidemic in Kansas, I'm starting to think there's a betting pool on involving pandemics.

I'm not a superstitious person, but this is the first year in my memory that I didn't binge-watch The Twilight Zone to ring in the new year, and now just look at the state of things.

Note the date on this article. This is old news. And still relevant. What sucks is I've explained this to many, many friends, and they still subscribe to Spotify. They say they like the Spotify wrapped. Fwiw, Tidal has a MONTHLY wrapped feature, and superior audio quality and audio ethics!

Love this quote from Rebecca Solnit: Be a brick or a dab of mortar. You don’t have to be the whole wall.

TIL (and fact checked!) that the wording in the executive order regarding sex & gender defines sex as established at conception. So, every single American citizen is legally female. Luckily, gender identity is separate and valid, so you can choose to identify as male and use he/him if you like.

Be like Elphaba this presidency and say fuck it to the Grand Wizard. Defy Gravity. No one can bring you down. And nobody should tell you to unpublish your queer stories or be less queer. For all my open gays that are out of the closet and safe,VISIBILITY is key. be loud, be proud, and be fierce.

Friends and fiends, my gut reaction to the Switch 2 is negative because I have tiny hands and I have been the biggest supporter for the Switch because it's a portable console that actually fits my hands. The Switch 2 is bigger and I'm going to have the same problem as with the Steam Deck. Sigh...

The academic library I work at is beta-testing a catalog AI assistant. I...have many thoughts. A big one is: everyone, well-organized and complete metadata is *more important now than ever* for *so many reasons.*

Today seems like a good day to remind everyone that all art made by a person has personal value.

(Spoiler-free comment on Squid Game S2) I just started Ep1 of S.G. season 2, and I think Gi-hun is starting to look like the Master in the show Midnight Diner. So now I have the headcanon that after this season, he moves to Japan and runs a diner to give comfort to the out-of-luck denizens ❤️

Rewatching season 1 of Squid Game before getting into season 2. The Gganbu episode never hurts any less, does it.

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

I straight up forgot to check any social media of any kind for about 48 hours and it was kind of super nice?

I'm entrenched in indie games, so I put on The Game Awards #tga thinking, "OK let's see what the AAAs are up to." Turns out I have become a curmudgeon, muttering about how video games are so darn violent 🤣 Time for a replay of Hidden Art of Innkeeping for a palate cleanser, I should think.

OKAMI SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a university librarian, a massive part of my job is discernment and critical thinking re: AI, and I try and try and try to inform others. Look to the information professionals, found largely at your libraries. We are trying to understand and to help everyone understand.

Today is an excellent day to be reminded how important @itch.io is and how lucky we are a platform like this exists, where creators (rather than customers) come first. Share an itch.io project you like! Make a purchase!

Confession: I created a universe-destroying recursion in Patrick's Parabox. This led to me becoming a member of the Q collective and messing with Captain Picard. See how ridiculous that sounds?

I've never finished Undertale because I accidentally defeated a frog early on, before I understood what was going on. Even if you delete the save file the game will remember your crimes, and I just can't bear to continue with the guilt. RIP froggy 😭

I'm going through IRB training for ethical research and I think it's funny they didn't feel the need to pay a voice actor for the section on Authorship. The AI voice is just fine, they said 🤣

PSA! If you listen to audiobooks, I *highly* recommend using Libby in conjunction with your library card! Get thousands of titles free and support writers! If you use the "hack" of buying&returning audiobooks on Amazon, you cost the author $$ - they pay the taxes & fees. Please don't do this.
