From punk musician and healthtech pioneer to Founder and Creative Director of Tumeke Studio. We’re building a Māori focused MMO. I like to do stuff that matters to real people.

I've noticed potential investors often fall into the following traps:

🚩Quick Returns
🚩Formulaic Thinking
🚩Hindered by Optics
🚩Led by FOMO

This makes discussions normally bookended by statements like "who else is investing?" and various bits of consultant-speak.

Honestly Trump is going to blame Joe Biden and Obama.

It must be.

Another NCsoft MMO. Probably going to play just like the last ones.

We don’t need the same cookie cutter games with updated graphics so we get better visuals of scantily clad female avatars and furries.

We need better gameplay, new ideas, and a reason to like the genre again.

If you’re creating Super Mario or Doom culture isn’t important. But if you’re creating a playable interactive world it absolutely is. But AAA studios regularly get it wrong, taking shortcuts for quick profit and delivering hollow apologies afterward. Why? Because we still buy it.

Let’s start this one off with Star Wars Galaxies.

Not currently online.

Careful. Quoting a music lyric is not expressing a desire to do anything. But publishing a false claim about another named individual does constitute libel.

Follow up on this - we got the label removed by reducing our follow count to near nothing. Meanwhile this AM my own feed was hit with 2 porn fantasy products. I’m getting mixed messages here. Is this platform safe for kids?
