Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.
An image of the crew from the TV show Firefly, most definitely not a Star Trek crew, but also undeniably the best.

Please enjoy this Icelandic cat I saw today

4 - Underrated UI: Weirdly, I think people don't talk about Tunic enough. From the jrpg references, to the entirely new language, to the whole game being based on not knowing vs. discovering vs. learning. It's counter intuitive - the game is purposefully obscure. But that's part of the delight!
Screenshot of the save file screen for Tunic. Screenshot of a popup in the game Tunic, showcasing some of that game's made up language and glyphs. Screenshot of the Tunic heads up display. Screenshot of the Tunic equipment menu, with a variety of icons for items and consumables.

2- Fav interactions: pressing this big OK in Mario Kart 8 deluxe; flipping bots like pancakes on Astro Bot (and all the responsive trigger stuff they implemented); flipping through the collected pages of the Tunic booklet, and literally figuring out this whole language with @monicaion.bsky.social
Screenshot of a screen in Mario Kart with a big, yellow "OK" button. Screenshot of Astro Bot, showing lots of little bots inside a 3D version of the playstation controller Screenshot of a couple of pages in the Tunic rulebook, showing a map in the style of old jrpgs

I love this get to know me format but I wanted a focused one for us in the gamedev UI world so... I made one. Feel free to copy and do it! Tagging some UI buds because I'd like to get to know them better too! @eddcoates.bsky.social @jackalshorns.bsky.social @angeloslh.bsky.social

My favourite thing ever is seeing my mom enjoy herself when we travel together 🩵

I set myself up for disappointing my players because I created this whole ass website for a one shot I ran in my homebrew RPG system based on Buffy and X-Files, didn't I?
A gif showing the very 90s looking homepage for a website with fire gifs, HTML frames and and a flaming "welcome" gif on the top. The cursor is a skull and it has blood bubbles spawning from it.

I remember Unity when it was all grass fields and forests lol (RIP Taikodom the great brazilian space opera MMORPG that got me in my UI path 🙏🏼)
A screenshot of Taikodom: Living Universe, a brazilian MMORPG from 2010. The image shows four illustrated busts facing inwards, a man and a woman with pink hair on the left, against a blue background. On the right, a darker skinned woman with a blue buzz cut and a guy with green hair, against a red background.

Big same! I can recommend the book Ritual by Dimitris Xygalatas for a very enlightening view on why the fuck life feels more purposeful when we have rituals (even in the face of very terrible situations).
The cover for the book Ritual, showing the name in a big font, a plain coral background and two black and white photos of a person making tea using traditional Japanese (I think?) implements.

Finally playing Moonlighters and dammit if it isn't a delightful little game! However, I hate how I find myself being an extreme capitalist in the merchant aspects of the game. mama i am a socialist i promise this game is just TOO GODDAMN ENGAGING

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #445,584! Just can't find a way to be more active here - am I just done with social media?

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

.....

i'm not entirely certain how i feel about this but i'm tempted to say i'd be in good hands

I've been practicing my lettering skills on procreate making these kinda 70s Blood on the Clocktower posters. It's a niche mix of interests but it is mine (and I have a hella fun time making them, listening to BOTC streams).
#BloodOnTheClocktower
#Procreate
70s style poster on a black background with stars, with blue script style lettering that says "Well, that's a" and underneath in bubbly red "double claim" 70s style poster on a black background with stars with bubbly blue, purple and red lettering, saying "unless i'm drunk or poisoned"
