Regret no giving enough time to Math and Physics in school right now. Having a very hard time doing the most trivial mechanic for #GMTKGameJam2025 Still excited, but it would have been soooo much easier if I was more into Calculus and Natural sciences. #GMKT

Rewatching MCU. So far it's from pretty good to amazing. Doctor Strange is actually a story about a guy whom after traumatic experience went downshifting to Asia and decided to switch career in middle of his life to become a volunteer. Grounded. What was Quantumania about? No one knows.

Lets fucking go! One of the most ambitious, visually inventive, philosophically charged and mechanically intriguing games is now on Switch. El Huervo did it again. I love every little bit of it and planning to do it all over again in handheld now.

This is such a bad ass opening! It's sort of like Cowboy Bebop by the way of angsty US teenager, which imho is pretty much on point considering the show it is for :)

I got to watching Mars Express by @jeremieperin.bsky.social and it was fucking amazing! Finally a smart sci-fi about robots without silly allegory or dumb AI logic. My request for the evening was smart action movie and boy it delivered! Influenced by greats and highly original. 10/10! #movie

Haven't been on Pinterest for a few weeks — my feed has improved significantly. Almost no generated images, inspirations of different kinds. Gotta do this more often, maybe schedule visits monthly :) #inspiration

My 100% accurate assessment of #TheGameAwards2024 game trailers! Here we go! But seriously I'm kind of hopeful. At least they showed some real games this time. #gametrailers #thegameawards

A video game marketing done right! Also, the library of #netflixgames is absolutely fantastic! Apple Arcade should be ashamed. So please go and play all the cool indies so that #netflix would continue to publish games and keep the service active :) #videogames

Good Monday! Well, acceptable so far. To warm up I've resurrected this old fellow from my project #sidenotes archives. This old monkey may have lost his hearing but his mind is as sharp as ever so no matter the case it will be solved!

One of the biggest surprises of the year is Interior Chainatown. It's quirky, funny, well acted and smartly written. A rare case when the adaptation maybe better than the book because of its unique concept and view. Let me know what you think! But no spoilers! I'm only at ep. 7. 🤫 #tv #hulu

Hell yeah! Pun intended! I've been waiting for this one for veeery long time! Original Mononoke is one of the best anime ever made in my opinion — avant-garde visuals, smart and emotion storytelling, it may not be for everyone, but it is gorgeous! I hope this one delivers as well.
"Mononoke - Phantom in the Rain" movie is now streaming on Netflix (worldwide).

Would work better on Friday, but here’s a pretty good animated feature completely for free!
"I Am What I Am" is available for free/legally on Youtube (w/ english subs).
A chinese animated film by Haipeng Sun (2021) about a working-class boy who wants to become a lion dancer.
Never before released in the West.

I always thought that posting on social media in many cases akin to animals marking territory. For quite a while now I was trying to be as inoffensive as possible and lost all the joy of sharing stuff in the process. Maybe here I will claim back that joy :) Stay tuned for more uncut stuff.
