Looking forward to following the scene and sharing my own work with you all! 🤓

@PrettyFlyShyGuy Aw ok, fair enough. Maybe we’ll bump into each other at some other point. 😊

[Amanda Parks @amajanpar]

@cybuuorg Congratulations on your first credit on a commercial release!! 🥳🎉 No one would have blamed you for giving up after what you’ve been through but you kept going and you did it! I’m so proud of you!

[ghostrat 🐀 @cybuuorg]

Today's the day!! 🥳 I worked on this game, please check it out and support the creator!

[Amanda Parks @amajanpar]

@LonWantsCake Nah fair, mine is going to a parcel locker for the same reason lol. No such thing as playing Zelda too much!

[Amanda Parks @amajanpar]

I've been avoiding twitter because every time I opened it I saw ✨drama✨ and would nope out.

just realised it's coz it's been defaulting to "for you" instead of my beautifully curated following list 😭

[Amanda Parks @amajanpar]

@briankens Ohh it looks creepy!!! Thank you for the recommendation 😊

[Amanda Parks @amajanpar]

Update! I played...
- Cozy Grove (still playing)
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Sackboy ABA (not sure if I'll finish it...)
- Untitled Goose Game
- The Stillness of the Wind
- The Talos Principle

- What Remains of Edith Finch
- Cozy Grove
- Inside
- The Last Campfire
- Down in Bermuda
- Outer Wilds
- Wytchwood
- A Short Hike

Oh gawd, I just tried it and it’s so depressing 🥲

Gone are the days of flower crowns & puppy dog filters. TikTok is in full-on crisis mode over this new Bold Glamour filter.

What I find most disturbing is that “bold glamour makeup tutorial” is now trending on the app bc consumers are longing to recreate this idealized look IRL.

@michaelybecker Oh deary me 😅

I only use a Quest so can’t say if this is only a Meta problem or if other devices are just as cumbersome but I’ve experienced this plenty of times too and it’s always such a let down 😞

[Devin Reimer @DevinReimer]

Last night I was trying to play VR with my brothers and it took us 35+ minutes to be able to start playing a game. So long that our battery ran out before we could finish a session. Thread of what happened and why this friction is a top issue to resolve in VR. Thread 🧵1/

You’ve probably seen Cult of the Lamb on Twitter. Since I joined the team, our community has grown from 13k to 180k followers organically!

As Twitter gets risky, I’ve been reflecting on takeaways for other platforms.

Here's 5 considerations when marketing a game on socials 🧵

@threehourcoffee You’re not into dark mode? I use dark mode for absolutely everything!
