Tbh I'm not worried about this particular Stuart Seldowitz, the one we now know. I'm worried about the many, many Stuart Seldowitzes currently placed at the highest levers of power in the Biden administration, working on Middle East policy. What, you thought he's the odd one out?

Good night

A reminder to progressives everywhere - the continued threat of the far-right is real and on our doorstep.

The next year is going to be pivotal for standing up for and defending our values - in London, in Europe and across the world.

Language is important. “Israel-Hamas war”is a way of presenting all Palestinians as Hamas so killing indiscriminately can be justified. Thousand of children have been murdered. Doctors killed. Journalists targeted. Were they Hamas? It’s a genocide against Palestinians.

I'm soooo excited to be speaking at #RovioCon in Helsinki next week! I'll be talking about how we built Love & Pies with diversity in mind, and how that has contributed to the game's success. Proud to be representing @TrailmixLtd at my second industry talk this year! ♥️🥧

How can people inflict such pain and cruelty upon each other.

Beyond the finger pointing - that person who pushed the button or gave the order that lead to this particular scenario - how do you justify your actions.

There is no greater good when such evil is unleashed

Someone deepfaked the party leaders, of the main parties we can vote for in the upcoming Dutch elections, into music videos and it’s amazing 😂

@SimonZijlemans Fuck so there is still one game left to try 😂 I just don’t have much opportunity to play on PS4 at the moment with youngest still in baby phase. Portable gaming from the bed is a requirement 🤱🏻

At least the Monster Hunter Rise demo saved me from wasting money on attempting to like a Monster Hunter game on console for the 5th time

Demo confirmed no matter how badly I want to like it I still hate the combat and UI 👍🏻

[Xandra van Wijk @xndra]

@BPijls Yes exactly this - I just keep getting tempted every time a new one comes out “maybe this time it will be different” 😂

[Xandra van Wijk @xndra]

I do hope Paper Games and Archosaur Games pay attention and maybe take inspiration from how the online / social play was integrated in to the core game experience. Would love to see more of that in the new Nikki console game instead of the action/platforming gameplay they showed

[Xandra van Wijk @xndra]

Oh wow I kind of had the feeling I had seen it all after 2 days of playing - but did not expect to actually hit the end game credits so soon 😮

[Xandra van Wijk @xndra]

Feels like I played a concept - not a full game. Or maybe just because Shining Nikki & Life Makeover raised the bar - their quality & quantity of clothing & accessories just cannot be matched outside of f2p model.

@TheBonnieKiwi Taking a break to reset is so valuable and so necessary - already half the battle recognising it and giving yourself that time. Best of luck and take good care of yourself.

[Xandra van Wijk @xndra]

@Fashiorexia He’s fine thankfully. He was walking through the car park to the shops and this driver honked and then bumped his legs from behind, driving over his foot. When he went over to ask why that was necessary she drove in to his legs again from the front. Mad she’ll get away with it

[Xandra van Wijk @xndra]

My brother got hit twice by a car while in a car park. Car park won’t review the security cam footage because of privacy laws and the police won’t do anything because he didn’t make note of the license plate number.

What. The. Fuck.
