I *really* like Venba. Beautifully told intergenerational story that’s no longer than a Scorsese film.

We're Visai Games! 👋 We made Venba, an award winning narrative cooking game. As outsiders to the industry, we found our following in twitter but logging into it now means coming face to face with a lot of South Asian racism. If you like Venba, Follow us here so we don't have to login to twitter!

My sister is in a video game orchestra and they performed this song last year I think. I was super giddy to listen to it because I recently played the game. Wonderful experience with wonderful music. I’m sad this singer is no longer with us as well 😢 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

He is the first major Tamil composer to have sung in a Video Game soundtrack! It was adorable how curious he was about the idea of a song being placed in a video game. Badly wanted to work with him again but in retrospect it's unbelievable how lucky we were for Chellakutty! 🙏🏾😢

When you follow me, you're signing up for a random assortment of English/Tamil poetry, music from various instruments I don't know how to play, Birdposting, Beeposting, Treeposting, Tech Takes, Astronomy musings, pictures of my dog Nala, and whatever else manages to trap my limited attention span.

Hanging out with a 3yo this weekend and he taught me a game he had invented on his etch-a-sketch: We'd draw things he didn't like, draw an explosion effect around it, and then disappear it while we both yelled "kaboom!" It was too much fun & very therapeutic, so here you go. idlesite.com/kaboom/

Venba made me ugly cry. It's an emotional take on the experience of being from different generations in diaspora. And the featured dishes are anazing! The soundtrack too. I would recommend it to anyone.

Today is Venba's three year anniversary!!! 🍰🍰🍰 To celebrate, we're on our biggest sale yet and you'll notice we're also on the front page of Steam!!!? 3.75 USD to get emotional gut punched! If you're looking to jump in or gift it to a friend, this is the best time!

Soon, it will no longer require moral courage to say: من النهر إلى البحر فلسطين ستتحرر From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free. ✊🇵🇸

But also, it urges me to see everyone in this world as my own family. And in that spirit, I want to share a few words on behalf of my Palestinian family: من النهر إلى البحر فلسطين ستتحرر From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free. ✊🇵🇸 Thank you.

In practice: - Less worry about wealth signaling and hypergrowth, instead of quality of life and contentment. - A natural push toward collectivist lifestyle choices. Small towns, communes, large families, etc. - More investment risk tolerance and business mindedness with a focus on localism.

The essence of Zillionairism is collective success over individual hypergrowth. The gained excess is to be collectivized through charity, local investments, or other domestic relationships and business partnerships in a way that the wealth is effectively stewarded by at least one other Zillionaire.

Zillionairism (or Zero-Millionairism) is the practice of keeping your material net worth under one million dollars at all times. As an easy anchor, assume 2020 U.S. dollars. That's CAD 1.8 million today in 2026. So chances are you're already a Zillionaire - but could you commit to it for life?

The goal is to always ensure your material net worth stays below that value, adjusted for inflation, and to find other people, communities and organizations to share any additional money or assets with. This could mean donating it, making a co-operative investment or anything else that applies.

I had the pleasure of making music for Aikyam 💜 Working with Parth & @sallyluc.bsky.social was an absolute pleasure and I'm excited for everyone to check out the game soon. Thanks @bradshankar.bsky.social for the feature!

One of the games featured in the lovely @indgshowcase.bsky.social was the Bollywood-inspired @aikyamgame.bsky.social from Toronto's @thousandstars.bsky.social. I spoke with co-founders Parth Soni and @sallyluc.bsky.social about their dev journey, making a turn-based RPG focused on dance, and more!
