Well no music is actually Viking ๐คฃ So I guess it helps โจ
It was not but it was a test run, I'll likely give it again after improvement

Introducing myself with "Hi, I'm Inari and I use to carve knives with lasers for a living": check
Starting a conference on hope(punk) by talking about the current state of the world: check
Ending with "hopepunk is not a subgenre but a framework for resistance narratives": check
Additionally there is a lot of outsourcing too, though it doesn't add that many cooks in the kitchen if you do it properly
Taking care of my rescue dogs and playing records ๐ Also martial arts โจ
In Turku, but it won't be recorded. It's a trial run, though, I might make it better afterwards to present it later
Been a while since my last talk, can't say I'm not a bit stressed โจ
In response to the Polygon and Giant Bomb news, I created an indie and worker-owned games media starter pack.
Iโll keep adding to it, so suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please share!
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the Hopepunk masterpiece we needed this year.
God, the prelude got me to tears with Sophie ๐ญ
But I am very happy to have Lune on the team, she's such a lovable character to me, I can never get enough of her ๐ซถ
Had a fun workshop with some team members yesterday.
We made our own DND sheets and the others then made one for us.
I feel I'm being called out for being a nerd ๐คฃ
This is the โdisruptionโ playbook. I have really bad news for anyone stupid enough to be building reliance on generative AI into their processes. Itโs so cheap!
Has anyone reached that point where they don't like games anymore? But still somewhat enjoy making them despite the state of the industry ๐ค

Since I rescued him from the shelter 7 years ago, allow me to share said shelter's picture of my soul dog ๐ซถโจ
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue Iโm editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Okay listening.
@itsquinns.bsky.social comment on cultural memory of gamers is a big thing for me. At cons when I'm hearing about a new game from a creator, I'll say, "Oh it is like this game from the 90s." I'll get a blank stare, then explain that element that lines up perfectly.
Ignore the terrible choice of header image, this is a great read. We cannot both be a defining medium of the 21st century, and also 'just games so don't perceive us'. Games won't make anybody fascist or violent, but the communities grown inside and around games clearly can.

In addition to my gamedev work, I've been working on a side-project aimed at protecting and preserving the amazing trans community that's here on Bluesky.
We've seen the writing on the wall since the election, and we're taking action!
Heyo, would love to be part of the community โค๏ธ

That's generally my practice, yeah xD
To all tall people at concerts:
If there is a bit of space in front of someone shorter than you, it's usually meant for us to see better by reducing the amount of space the other tall people are taking in our field of view.
It's not an invitation to come and prevent us from enjoying the spectacle.
