thoroughly enjoyed my experience at #NordicGameJam this year, and 100% want to go back next year. I’ve never before felt so free to be my nerdy self with pink hair and pronouns, in the middle of the day, for days in a row.
My highlights include cat ears & cat pictures in talks, being able to feel confident in my ability to work in csharp with #godot in the future, me turning heads wherever I walked (euphoria?), and people being nice about using my chosen name. 🩷

One of my all time favorite #NordicGameJam posters. I don't know that many people who have the shirt - It was the year after that I did my first one Nordic Game Jam.
Anyone who knows who made it?
A good talk about breaking your cultural paradigms.
Well, well, well, if it ain't the Nordic Game Jam comin' to Copenhagen in April again.
Got myself a ticket for Nordic Game Jam 2023! 💪🏻 Who's going??
