Time for more homemade #ramen. ☺️
Just realized that there are way too many #songs that I think I like because I only know the best 10 seconds of them through memes… I hate this #timeline. 🥲
Loneliness is horrible though. Framing loneliness as a problem of incels can also be damaging to real issues within our communities that do need addressing. It’s easy to paint society with broad strokes and hot takes, but it takes courage to throughly research where this phenomenon starts and ends.
Made some shakshouka. 😋

With so much bad #news these days, it’s amazing to see good things still happen. Today a #carbrained destructive highway plan that would severely damage a popular #green spot in the city of #Utrecht, has been voted out!! 🥳 This wouldn’t be possible under the last government. #Voting still matters!
They need to be sat down by someone they love, and that person should talk some sense into them. Deprogramming by intervention works for most, but sadly not for all. And if intervention doesn’t help, you must cut these MAGA people out of your life. If that doesn’t get them to reflect, nothing will.
Yeah, I’d gladly just do world-building alone and outsource the rest to a minion. Creating the world and its lore is the best part of the whole process!
A new episode of the WerkPlant podcast! In which @wisproy.bsky.social and @jonivanderleeuw.substack.com talk about decision making and how that process is organized in their studios ( @wispfire.com and @roostgames.bsky.social, respectively) - check it out!

I mostly try to get how the accents sound, because they tend to change the rhyme and rhythm of the dialogue if I don’t hear them.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911
"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
Also, as a kid, I really liked the 1998 miniseries called Merlin. Might be a bit hokey by now, but I have good memories of it. 😅
While not specifically about Arthur, The Green Knight was a really good Arthurian legend movie.
So much snow! It’s been a while since I’ve seen this much coming down. ❄️ 🐶
The USA is a rogue state now. Whatever you think of Maduro (he’s a pos), the attack on Caracas is an illegal act of war by a president who is nothing but a despot himself. There are no excuses, the world has become an incredibly dangerous place because of this deranged president. MAGA is a cancer.
Leliana is cosplaying Andrasté at the pyre… #DragonAge
Well I think you already found the right title. ;)
And honestly, it fits you well, incorporating all aspects you describe.
Easy to grasp, story is implicit, leaves enough room to elaborate if people want to know more. Personal meaning can’t be entirely inferred from a title alone anyway.
Distancing yourself from something can be a powerful statement about what you are/aren’t. You don’t have to frame it as bad, just uniquely you. The value markers others place on that is their choice. I think your best bet is to go with something that you like to hear yourself say to lots of people.
When I am in spaces where I want to distance myself from those types of game developers, I tend to explain my job as ‘creator of interactive art’ or ‘interactive storyteller’. I rather be categorized as an eccentric art snob than as a corporate greed enabler.
Game developer?? I mean, that’s quite a broad term anyway by now. 🤷♂️
It’s never too late to read a Victorian masterpiece like Jane Eyre. :)
In this special end-of-year-episode @wisproy.bsky.social and @jonivanderleeuw.substack.com look back on how far we've come with WerkPlant in 2025 and what our plans, hopes and dreams are for the foundation in 2026!

While I eat our #Christmas dinner and open our presents in the safety of our home, I will not think about the Bible, God or Christ. But I will take a moment to think about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers defending #Europe in the trenches of #Ukraine right now. Slava Ukraini, Slava Europa 🇺🇦🇪🇺
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. 🎄❄️
Why are the fascist so obsessed with LotR, did they even read it? … Good vs. evil narratives are so easily misconstrued by right wing extremists. Tolkien would have hated them and everything they stand for.
