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.

I played through Galactic Foodtruck Simulator 2999. It's a labor of love with a lot of detail: the variety of color-coded recipes, the funny or just strange headlines in the newspaper, the incredibly detailed ANSI art for characters including ones who pop in for just one visit.

The vibe reminds me of Starcon 2. It's humorous (even sometimes silly) but still conveys an eerie sci-fi sense of wonder. The way the Galactic President talks - filling in words and letters out-of-order is such a neat touch. I don't want to give things away, so I'll just say that there are surprises - events before and after the standard workday, and even things that change up the rules of the game.

It's not overly-long (say, 3 hours depending on how quickly you go), it's simple to play, and you can play from the browser for the low low price of zero dollars, so it's an easy recommend for anyone who's intrigued by ANSI art: https://stale-meme.itch.io/gfs
