Hey, bsky! We talking about logo design today.

Here's a little interview we did with our Art Director, Jeffrey Flores, about his goals, inspiration, and process when coming up with the logo for First Moon of Mercury, a game we're currently developing.

I'm spending a lot of time learning about how dangerous the Sun's solar flares can be for @stitch.media's new game First Moon of Mercury. Here's a brief but excellent explanation! youtube.com/shorts/jjGW-... #gamedev

100% this! I'm going to start calling those two-wheeled electric vehicles with throttles that don't require pedalling "e-motos" too. Hopefully we can shift the narrative => e-bikes are NOT a problem in Toronto's bike lanes, e-motos are the problem. #BikeTO #bikesky

Cranksgiving has become a fun tradition with our #Brompton friends. This year we rode 64km from Burlington to Toronto, stopping for yummy food and beautiful lake views along the way. #BikeTO #bikesky youtu.be/aoKxpbIKEDU?...

That is true! New York has waaaaay more people than Montreal, so the percentage of Montrealers biking is much greater.

What I find interesting is NYC's are all bridges, points masses of people are funnelled into to get across the river. Whereas Montreal's are just streets! Regular streets with tons of people biking on them. Yay, Montreal! #veloMTL

Interesting. Horrible implications for the quality of service industries, though. When the people in charge only care about making money, everything and everyone else suffers.

Are we living in a golden age of stupidity? From brain-rotting videos to AI creep, every technological advance seems to make it harder to work, remember, think and function independently โ€ฆ

โ€œItโ€™s only software developers and drug dealers who call people users,โ€ Kosmyna mutters... frustrated at AI companiesโ€™ determination to push their products on to the public before we fully understand the psychological and cognitive costs. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The 3rd Annual Bromptoberfest began with a folding contest at Pedaal Bikes & Coffee, then a pretzel-shaped ride around Toronto, stopping for a photo op at Love Park, then to Wvrst for food, and finally ending in Victoria Memorial Square for a picnic. #BikeTO #bikesky youtube.com/shorts/M_rg6...

This Thanksgiving we visited my parents during the week (Tuesday-Wednesday) b/c thereโ€™s no train service on the weekend, but our schedules donโ€™t always allow for that flexibility. So weโ€™re relieved to hear the Kitchener line is FINALLY getting weekend service! ๐Ÿฅณ @gotransit.bsky.social

These bikes get us places weโ€™d never be able to get to by any other means of transportation. For example, here are some shots from the Rhine River Trail in Switzerland - spots that are hike or bike access only! #Brompton #biketravel
