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.

for many reasons but one of them is because sometimes you're streaming a sokoban puzzle game and you are stuck and starting to get bored and then the dev comes into stream and gives you a second wind and also hints/encouragement for the 2 levels where you get too inside your own head, so that you can finish the whole first stage 😂 We also learned some fun facts about the development process. First time I had a dev (who I don't know) come in during one of my streams, that was really cool and they were super nice! Arzulo from Mocha Moose Games.

(This was a stream where I realized 30mins in I was sleepy, probably too sleepy for a puzzle game, but ended up going 3.5hours because I ended up in a cycle of having fun-sleemby-having fun-so tired-so back-how brain-so back again-so sleemby-etc etc, I would probably enjoy the game a lot better if I were more awake)

The game itself, Sandy's Great Escape, is a cute pixel crab with unlockable skins who has time rewind powers and uses death as quicktravel and his own corpse to achieve his goals (pushing boxes so he can go to the beach). I don't play enough sokoban games to know how much of that is standard to the genre though 😉
