I’m defending my doctoral dissertation tomorrow, at noon Finnish time. The defense will be broadcasted live and the thesis is available online. It’s all in English, so peeps from abroad can join, too! www.tuni.fi/en/news/riik...

CW: Death, child loss I struggled with whether to post this but realized that it shouldn't be taboo—it’s a devastating reality for many parents worldwide. My dear baby boy, Edvin. What I would give just to see you grow. May you shine as the brightest star in the night sky. My heart is shattered 💔

I'm not much online these days overall but will be even less for the foreseeable future. We suffered a devastating personal tragedy yesterday 💔

I’m going to keep a uni lecture on motor disabilities and game accessibility at 12:15 and, instead of being productive, I’ve just been staring at different walls in my house all morning.

If you are interested in the game, please support the Stalker 2 developers, even if you plan to wait until it's fixed. Developing a game during wartime must be unimaginably challenging, and your support would be surely appreciated.

I think it's mandatory that every Finn in their 30s and 40s has this.

Watched UFC last night (been into it for 15 years). In just 30 seconds, the camera went from a gambling ad to that grinning orange dipshit and elmo, then a crypto ad, and ended with an on-screen commercial for Kick. I need my meds…

It's cool to have an app where you can just briefly close it without worrying about totally wrecking your feed.

I thoroughly enjoy Arcane, but I find the use of disabilities & impairments to signify something as angry, bitter, sinister or precarious to be quite problematic. It’s odd to see a work that is otherwise so well-crafted and impactful depict such a worn and harmful trope.

Six years ago: When I have a bachelor's, I don't suffer from imposter syndrome anymore Three years ago: Ok, let's try that again when I have a master’s Now *sobbing*: Please, let me be free when I return my dissertation

Hey!✨ I have a few consultation spots open for Q1-Q3 2025 (or one bigger scale gig) focused on games industry business development, production, PR, accessibility, and community work. If you’re looking to level up your project or team, now’s the time! Get in touch, reshares appreciated. 🫶

Got PS5 Pro yesterday and now I'm absolutely dreading it as I can't procrastinate my game analysis anymore…

Can we fast-forward four years please?

I hate to see Rook just standing there, quietly taking in Lucanis trying to win over Neve. #DragonAgeVeilguard

So far Dragon Age Veilguard has been enjoyable. Solid combat, quality cutscenes and performs extremely smoothly on PC. Granted that I haven't played previous games so I don't have the nostalgia burdening me, but so far so good ✌️

Been playing Starfield for three weeks now and it's a perfectly OK game. I dunno if it's the plethora of mods, patches, or my in-game roleplay, but the enormous hate that the game got in the other place seems majorly unwarranted. Just a solid video game junk food!
