It's time for CROSSNIQ+ Character Files!

Over the next two weeks, we'll be introducing the game's eight playable characters! Today, we're starting with Skye and Rain! #CROSSNIQ+
CHARACTER FILE #1

Skye (they/them) is a friendly, mischievous young gearhead. Their DIY inventions can sometimes land them in trouble, but their best friend Rain always has their back.

LIKES: Tinkering, challenges, fish

DISLIKES: Fish (eating), yelling, being looked down on
CHARACTER FILE #2

Rain (she/her) has a delinquent reputation, but is loyal to her friends and is good-hearted beneath her tough image. She used to run in a bad crowd, but being around Skye has helped keep her on track.

LIKES: Rollerblading, burgers, loud shows

DISLIKES: Posers
On Thursday, we'll talk about two more characters - Monitan and G/0!

It's time for another CROSSNIQ+ #y2kwednesday!

We're partnering with @y2k_aesthetic, the #1 spot in cyberspace for vintage y2k design, to take a look at some y2k design that inspired the look of CROSSNIQ+.

This week, the focus is Y2K MOTION GRAPHICS/CG! It's GIF time!
The commercials, video logos, and music videos of the y2k era lavishly put y2k design principles into motion!

Since new tech was central to y2k, CG sets with live actors were popular, such as in this Sisqo Pepsi commercial.

Note the fashion and the blue/gray color palette!
CG blobjects were also popular, giving some motion to these iconic elements of y2k product design.

This bumper from MTV Izbia '99 showcases both then and a beautiful CG logo.

Time for CROSSNIQ+ #y2kwednesday!

We're partnering with @y2k_aesthetic, the #1 spot in cyberspace for vintage y2k design, to take a look at how y2k inspired CROSSNIQ+

We've shared many inspirations... but what about the PHILOSOPHY of y2k?

Today's topic: what y2k means to us!
OPTIMISM

y2k, born in the early .com era and fueled by the excitement around new compact communications tech, painted a future filled with possibilities to better the human experience and the world. Tech was seen as a liberator, both on a personal and a global scale.
EXPRESSION

y2k design is famous for bold looks, but their importance is more than skin deep! Streetwear and clubwear dominated y2k because of its focus on loud, individualistic expression - embodying the 21st century promise that many new, net-amplified voices would be heard

We're partnering with @y2k_aesthetic, the #1 spot in cyberspace for vintage y2k design, to take a look at some y2k design that inspired the look of CROSSNIQ+.

This week's feature - Y2K-ERA VIDEO GAMES that inspired our own!
Dance Dance Revolution (Konami)

A worldwide phenomenon, DDR needs no introduction!

For CROSSNIQ+, we took inspiration from the UI and transitions of 90's DDR games - they make menus, normally a chore, fun to navigate, and they're full of y2k flair like folder tabs and barcodes
TECHNO DRIVE (Namco)

An arcade-only driver's ed simulator, this game truly showcased Namco's graphic design talent in the late 90's.

Our inspirations? Too many to count! Just take a look for yourself - it's full of blobjects, icons, stylish meters, and cool y2k colors!

Round 1: @JustinTrudeau wins because Scheer makes it about about @JustinTrudeau - and Elizabeth May’s answer acknowledges all the great work we have done to raise people out of poverty and restore 🇨🇦’s reputation on the world stage.
Round 2: Bernier’s extreme tweets ... dude bro gets talked over ... Scheer barely different ... May gets compared to Chavez ... Bernier makes his point best to the Bloc ... Trudeau actually labels the politics of fear what it is and defines Canada against the politics of fear.
Round 3: intergov affairs. Bernier will stay in his lane. Singh makes case for pharmacare. Scheer will get existing trade deal/kill carbon tax. May wants Council of 🇨🇦 Govs. Blanchet says stay out of QC issues. Trudeau points to record of cooperation, will save climate plan.

HERE WE GO AGAIN🤦🏽‍♂️With #RacistInChief, #RacistTrump & #RacistGOP all still trending, MAGAts are dragging out the tired old "Democrats are the party of slavery and Republicans freed them" line. They do it every time.

Here's why it doesn't work👇 [THREAD]
Go to any "racial" topic that trended over the last few weeks; Sweden, Reparations, Barack Obama Blvd, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Dinesh, etc, and scroll through the tweets and you'll find dozens & dozens, maybe even hundreds with a variation of 'DEMs are the party of slavery!' 2/
Those using the 'DEMs are the party of slavery/Republicans freed them' rationale to *remind* black Americans why they should be loyal to the GOP are either too ignorant to understand how the ideology of the two parties has evolved, or, they assume that black Americans are. 3/

13. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

A #thread about promoting scientific literature in graduate students, while having fun, and generating results. I hope this is helpful for some, and feel free to Retweet. #WSUEntomology #sciencetwitter #scicomm #scichat #phdlife #phdchat #GradSchool #readingcommunity #science
Many faculty are often frustrated that students seem to have a poor understanding of the literature, or are surprised when students don’t know the “big names" in their field. However, one must realize it is easy to get “pigeon-holed” while you are focusing on your MS/PhD
Reading groups are one way to address this issue – meet weekly or bi-weekly and read literature in a given field. However, too often reading groups are dominated by faculty/postdocs with more experience and students are afraid to speak up for fear of ridicule or embarrassment.

1) Thread: Attacks on President Trump will likely increase in frequency and intensity over the next two weeks and beyond. Take heart, truth, and justice is on his side. Some major news just broke yesterday. .@POTUS
2)The former Mayor of N.Y. City and current attorney for @POTUS , @RudyGiuliani , former U.S. Attorney, #JoediGenova , and former Whitewater Independent Counsel Robert Ray , joined @GovMikeHuckabee former Gov. of Ak., on @IngrahamAngle while filling in for Laura Ingraham.
3) Playing to her audience, Clinton commented on the recent release of the Mueller report during a speech at Time 100 Gala. In classic style she deflected attention from her own criminal failings by projecting them onto someone else while whining about the unfairness of it all.

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.
