For almost 5 years I have been on a journey to recreate game mechanics as a way to learn game development and share knowledge!

The last time I went, I didn't even get a ticket. I just did the network events at the bars and common areas, and the experience was sooo much better for me.

Honestly, why stop at Disney+? Cancel all big name streaming subscriptions. They're all greedy. #disneyboycott

I made this game largely on my own. Even though I haven't released anything else with my studio, I'm still gonna keep at it until I can be self sustainable #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Interested in playing an online RPG that takes place on a fandom forum in 1999? Curious about Strangers on the 'Net?

Get ready to gossip, roleplay, flirt, fight, fall in love, confess your secrets, explore your identity, and confront what it meant to be a teenager online in the 90s.

Or just random mismatched Ikea pieces. Actually, just carry a grocery bag or tote full of Ikea pieces to class every time.

You should be specific. "I like to go to Ikea stores to disassemble furniture discretely without getting caught"

With the rise of AI, critical thinking skills are dropping. So, while puzzle games don't do well on the market, I'll gladly take the hit to make more games that will improve logic and reason skills

I'm sure anyone who needs to hear this won't, but the reason game companies don't do edge lord marketing isn't because they're woke or have morals, it's because it's bad for business. In 2025 Gamersโ„ข that like that shit are a small fraction of the market
