We made a jam game, it's pretty fun and you should play it

[Sævar Thor Palsson @Thor_Palsson]

Hello fellow Xers. Me and @Anchry just made a video game for the #gmtkjam and it would be extremely skibidi of you to press on this link for #SEO reasons.

@sophieartemigi Couldn't find any tik tok tutorials on it so have been improvising.

I sometimes like to indulge in ethical dilemmas whilst I stand in the shower. I thought I might share my dilemma of the day with you guys.

Should one, or shouldn't one put sun screen on ones' taint before going skinny dipping?

[Sævar Thor Palsson @Thor_Palsson]

@Anchry Likes and Venmo's are preferred

[Sævar Thor Palsson @Thor_Palsson]

@Anchry no

Licey! We’re making a simulation game together with the National Veterinary institute and FHF. It gamifies (in particular) Lice-attacks on our salmon farms, a pretty hot topic right now in Norway (and Iceland).

@lisov I do hope you are ready for them to come true!

[Sævar Thor Palsson @Thor_Palsson]

*for legal reasons I have to add that the promise of all your dreams becoming true might be a slight fabrication.

[Sævar Thor Palsson @Thor_Palsson]

Hey! Do you have 1.69$ (nice) that are burning a hole into your wallet?
Well worry no more because do I have a deal for you!

Buy this game for exactly 1.69$ (nice) and all of your dreams will come true!*

@Anchry I am pretty good thanks for asking :)

[Sævar Thor Palsson @Thor_Palsson]

@sophieartemigi My point exactly! why fear this revelation when you can embrace it

[Sævar Thor Palsson @Thor_Palsson]

@Jonathan_Reite I guess its time I throw in the towel and actually google what sticky notes are
