uh

my name is BEANBERT. i am ___________
i'm closing out a phd-shaped chapter of my life, trying to figure out what i am
i wanna make stuff and share it with people
i'm trained to do research creating network models of social dynamics

i'm using my website as a sandbox for game development
it'll accrue random and wacky ideas over time as I practice building a world, characters, and maps
if my idle game browser prototype keeps going, I might integrate that into the site

i'm working on a mobile game
it's a game where a gang of four friends use flawed powers to remake the world
it's an action rpg in an isometric world with instanced battles

i play and follow a lot of mobile games. here are some:

• genshin impact (currently playing)
• arknights endfield (currently playing)
• brawl stars
• honkai impact 3rd
• punishing gray raven
• honkai star rail
• zenless zone zero
• (i would love help getting into limbus company, i struggle to read)

tumblr - longer form crap
threads & bsky - shorter form crap
instagram - mostly showcasing anime art
youtube - mostly showcasing composed music

Disclosure:

I am generally not interested in engaging in sound-bite debates from stuff that any of us have learned from scrolling an algorithm. I am happy to learn and figure out new ways of doing things and understanding things. But if I detect that your stance is to peddle a tech billionaire's computer-crafted ideological ontology instead of engaging with me in good faith, I will stop talking to you.

No matter how sensical the algorithms' words are, they wouldn't feed that info to you if it would ever actually change anything.
