I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

Shadow Warrior and Space Punks developer Flying Wild Hog has unionized. The Polish studio shared the news on Linkedin and said it has become the third studio to unionize under the Polish Gamedev Workers Union and Inicjatywa Pracownicza banner.

Notably, it claims it has also become the first Embracer-owned studio to unionize.

"Today the workers of Flying Wild Hog revealed the union within the studio," reads the post. "The union membership has been steadily growing, and if you too want to act and change the industry for the better—contact us! All specializations and contract types are welcome."

The Polish Gamedev Workers Union also represents workers at Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red and This War of Mine maker 11 Bit Studios. The unionized workers at CD Projekt broke cover last year, with the studio voluntarily recognizing the union shortly after.
