Displaced In Gaza book
![Excerpts from the book. “Haitham left before noon. I went out searching for him and found him lying on the ground being eaten by cats. I couldn’t bury him on the first day of his martyrdom due to Israeli shelling.” “Wherever we go, we are pursued by shelling.” “The day I return to my house and the day I visit my husband’s grave will be the best days of my life.” “We want to return to our homes and live on the ruins of our destroyed houses.” “We line up in long queues to enter bathrooms with no water.” “We couldn’t find enough space in the cemetery to bury my mother, so we dug up my grandmother’s grave and buried my mother in the same grave.” “Under normal circumstances, my family’s daily water requirement is about 20 liters per person. Today, I share 20 liters of water among 23 family members.” “Quadcopter drones roamed inside the school and fired at anyone moving.” [Given that quadcopters are triggered by motion and sound, imagine trying to keep your baby quiet said one father, who saw a quadcopter kill a dog on the street outside his apartment building.] “Since the martyrdom of my family…” “We suffer from many harmful insects and other animals in and around the tents, including scorpions, snakes, flies, and mosquitos.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wkig7cca4md7qb4ekejmpqc3/bafkreibywgeio75gb3sbqlhmrbxdqwub5mhy4vc6oxcit5pfhf4bxaaqku)

My mom co-organized a series of first-hand interviews with Palestinians done in Gaza after October 2023. It got published by Haymarket last year:

how nice, thank you!! i love bee magic
祝你生日快乐 ！
up to that point you have been scrounging for food to fill your ever-depleting hunger meter, and at any point you may be forced to reload an earlier save, so getting this could save your whole run and make life a lot easier. very different feelings for the same idea of 'an optional hard challenge'
Screenshot of the game 'Cairn' with a honey dipper item in a backpack on the top of a cave
Cairn teaches me about the kinds of game design im not experienced with, of long term risks and rewards. In Celeste you collect strawberry for fun as an extra challenge, in Cairn you see a backpack with a honey dipper in a difficult detour, and you want it because
The exploration and amount of things to find in every direction is dizzying!
We ended up reloading from earlier, and found the whole Ancient area we had totally missed to get the troglodyte piton! But after more falls at The Peril we finally enabled assist rewind 😅 but have still been enjoying the whole experience just as much ❤️ just said farewell to Damas and Marco now..
('we' being the programmers led by Giacomo, not me haha, i would let him give the full talk of the window dance architecture)
I'd never have thought its possible to set the window position 60 times a second and have that be performant enough to actually get smooth animations. Exsch's chart also achieves multiwindow illusion by strobing between two positions every frame. Which ofc leads to 'can we do this for real..?'
This video expresses everything we've been going for wonderfully (and it was a delight to learn about the other two). And every time window dance is brought up I want to shoutout @taronuke.net who did it first in NotITG and inspired us!! Example Exschwasion's chart: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MOA...
Of course it's not just 25 years ago. It goes back even longer than that, with the US & UK overthrow of the first democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953.

NEW VIDEO - I love musically driven games, but Rhythm Doctor has proven to be a cut above the rest and somehow pulls off numerous things I’ve never seen in a game before while only using a single button.
Let’s talk about it.

My Perfect Tides: Station To Station review (spoiler-free)
It's time... Today is the initial release of the chapter 1 demo for #DioramaBreak! I'm the lead character artist, focusing mainly on the (pixel art) dialogue portraits and CGs, but I also helped with character designs and guided the overall art direction early on

now just UNBEATABLE left for me to finish of the Dec 2025 rhythm game trio...
Steady Bears was also an exceptionally good gameplay/music/visual fit (also another great pun i did not realise until finishing the entire game and saw @megaminerjenny.bsky.social mention it)
Level select screen showing all levels complete (took turns with my wife)
Rolled credits on @tempolab.games's Bits and Bops, lovely game!! Music/gameplay my favs are the fireworks one and Ocean Mixtape 🥰. All the visuals and designs are so good (the ant one is sooo charming!!). And they are masters at understated puns
and so glad to hear you liked Rhythm Doctor!! 🙏
