Welcome to my new handle @danae.dev! It's a domain I've owned for a couple of years and not used it that much beyond hosting small dev projects. Now it's destined for greatness!
I will soon move my shiny new updated link site there as well as part of my "combining creative brands" plan.

Hi everyone,
I will soon close this account in favor of using my main account @danae.dev to share my game dev stuff. This place wasn't used much anyways, and I think it's better to focus my creative endeavors in one place.
Thanks for following me here and see you on the other side!

I have to say goodbye to my link tree domain and Bluesky handle in a month, because the corporate people at Nova Registry who manage the .link domains decided that it is now a premium domain, and I unfortunately can't afford €150+ per year for a domain name.
Back to the brainstorming table it is!

Very proud of what our team managed to do for #GGJ2026 in 48 hours! Despite some usual game jam stress I had a lot of fun making audio and do some coding for our game Guardian of the Masked Spirit. 💜
Thanks @runicpixels.nl, @jopilatje.bsky.social, Rumboots, and Didalind for the awesome weekend!

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any.
The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

Genuinely this but also absolutely distrusting towards authority and consistently vindicated in that distrust.
It can be just seeking clarification but it's often been both.
Also authority figures are usually terrible communicators so the questions are going to get asked.
