Strong recommendation - this game is beautiful, the puzzles are satisfying and surprising, but it also creates a narrative mystery *between* the puzzles that my mind was constantly chewing on while I played it

Hi #PitchYaGame

Follow Gayatri as she remembers how to speak in this puzzle-adventure about a mother, a daughter, and a forgotten first language. In Mind over Manam, you grow your abilities and your vocabulary by translating the worlds around you.

Poverty is not just doing without luxuries. It is a death sentence. At a time when income and wealth inequality is growing, the richest American men live 15 years longer than the poorest men, while the gap for women is 10 years. This is unacceptable.

Free Free #FreePalestine! End End the Occupation! To my dismay, rather than expressing unwavering solidarity, some Tamils are highlighting the LTTE’s support of Palestine and asking why Palestinians don’t show #solidarity with the #TamilCause. Let me break it down:

Weeks of paid maternity leave offered to workers:
🇬🇧: 39
🇮🇪: 26
🇦🇺: 18
🇩🇰: 18
🇫🇮: 17.5
🇨🇦: 17
🇫🇷: 16
🇨🇭: 14
🇮🇸: 13
🇺🇸: ZERO

We must end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on the planet not to guarantee a single day of paid maternity leave.

The best possible summary of what happened on the Obra Dinn. If only Ed Spratt could've left this behind instead of a needlessly vague book.

This is something I wrote to go a bit deeper on how I teach game design and how I run the MA in Independent Games at Goldsmiths. Retweets and likes are appreciated and very helpful, as well as comments from students. https://t.co/tEYqMyueDn

For as long as I remember, @MarkBackler has been working hard to make @LostWordsGame a reality! 👏

And it is so good to see such a little gem finally on Steam! 🤩

me when designing games:
Big picture is super important, details feel nice to design, but you have to keep the overall project in mind.

We fried some Kuzhi Paniyaram ourselves before recreating it in the game for "research purposes"
