Hi! I'm Marcin 👋 I use he/him or they/them pronouns.

I live in Poland and about to move to Berlin. I'm a #leftwing #secular humanist.

I do #technicalwriting for software, and my background is in #EFL teaching.

I love video #gaming with great stories, juice and #queer representation.

I decide if my day was successful by the number of strangers' #dogs I managed to pet.

Last year I joined a community orchestra as a percussionist, and it's been a lot of fun!

Being a tech writer is never boring))) #techwritingmemes #memeday

And while I'm here, here's a couple images I keep handy for when I review #GitLab MRs

Here's a :good-bot: emoji I made that you can upload to your company's #slack

Balance of today:
- I thoroughly chewed through an allspice seed in my lunch 😬
- I finally pet the big brown lab I've been seeing in the cowork awyiss.gif

I'm so glad @Netflix_Sandman@twitter.com is so good 🥰 And, knowing all the comics, I enjoyed how faithful it is, while at the same time bridging some gaps and shuffling parts of the story around.
Season 2 when?

Outer Wilds is easily in my top 3 games ever played. I loved the sense of exploration and excitement at piecing together how its world works. Play it!

This is a very nicely visualized #git tutorial 😙👌 https://learngitbranching.js.org/

The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game
Quirky, but not weird enough and very short (~30 min).
I was expecting one of those "looks like a children's game but is actually for adults" type, but was disappointed.
I don't think I'll be trying out the sequels.

Btw "Off-Peak" is free to play, check it out

THE LONGING
in which you play as a little Shade waiting 400 days in real time to wake the king of the underground. Part tamagotchi, part Animal Crossing. Has a lot of character.
Here's a 4-hour-long trailer

TUNIC
It's super cute and plays like a dream. Zelda meets Dark Souls plus this game has the best learning curve ever - you have access to most mechanics from the start, but you learn about them from game manual pages you collect as you play.

"Off-Peak", "The Norwood Suite", and "Tales of the Off-Peak City, Vol. 1" by Cosmo D
This universe is a masterpiece of surrealism and anticapitalism. Funny writing, "bad" graphics, and great music. I'll keep an eye on this guy's future projects.

Paradise Killer
Trippy vaporwave anime aesthetics, funmovement, and a good murder mystery to investigate, recommended

Slay the Spire
It was fun to play on the train and in breaks. I liked finding synergies between items and it felt great when I got good cards.

Prey (2017)
I liked it! I never got into Dishonored, but this gave me first-Bioshock-but-in-space vibes. I liked the story, level design, and being able to solve problems in many ways.

🧵Games I played in July, aka my first Covid

Need help deciding which of these @frogdetective@twitter.com graphics options is the best

I like what @Netflix_Sandman@twitter.com is promising 🥰
