#TrainJam
When I was younger I wanted to do trainjam on the way to GDC, but now I'd probably just get back ache.

Had a great time seeing industry friends at GDC last week!
Winding down now by taking the train to Chicago, sort of a reverse-trainjam?

It’s official. I just reserved for 15 people on a train from Seattle to St Louis, leaving Sept 18th.

TrainJam to Strange Loop is happening!!!!

I participated in the 2018 TrainJam+GDC and was SO overwhelmed by everything that I never saw the Chicago metal bean thing, or the Golden Gate Bridge.

And now that my ID gender is set to X I'll probably never be to the US again.

Oh well, there's so much more of the world to see.

Trainjam - make a map only while riding the train.
It kinda works pretty well without any tweaks lol
I’m sure I could make a map from start to finish

I sprained my wrist picking up and carrying my 20 pound pug, Sebastian, in 2017. I did it while also launching Night in the Woods and had to attend GDC and Trainjam in a wrist brace.

There's a train traffic jam (trainjam? Trainfic jam?) on the Denentoshi line, but the announcers are mum on the cause. They're not even allowing people out of the local train at my stop.

I will!

But first I’m taking a train all the way across the country from Seattle to Chicago to St Louis with TrainJam.

Woo! #trainjam reporting in Emeryville!

It's really upsetting to me that trains are so expensive because I only ever want to travel by train. I have permanent envy of everyone who ever got to do trainjam but the price was UNREAL.

I want to take a multi-day train trip, I can't justify one and it sucks

For the evening crowd on TrainJam Eve…

I made a silly 4-player racing game for TrainJam a long time ago that was much slower because the track was invisible and you spent more time wondering where the heck you were meant to go than actually racing, and also it didn't keep track of who crossed the finish line first because why would it
Racing games should be slower and less competitive.

TrainJam, Strange Loop, and LoFi Unconference! Our trip to St. Louis was filled with fascinating talks and lively discussions that inspired us. fission.codes/blog/fission...

The TrainJam travelers are on their way to St. Louis by rail! The cars are buzzing about Strange Loop and the LoFi Unconference. (P.S. How great is this sticker that Fission designer Bruno Monts made?!)

I super miss TrainJam! I'm not in a headspace to organize but I'm curious whether any other folks would be interested in doing something adhoc/informal next year

This is right after @strangeloop_stl

Aaaaaand I’m doing #TrainJam to get there! https://x.com/FISSIONcodes/status/1679943876306702339

First we did #trainjam where a bunch of hackers boarded a train in Seattle, and for 4 days hacked their way across the US to St Louis for Strange Loop. As the gorgeous scenery slid by, the train car was a flurry of local network actvity 🚂 2/5

It's so hard to believe that the first TRAINJAM was more than 10 years ago. I miss it SO much even if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing... news.uwgb.edu/phlash/news/...
Techies Aboard! UW-Green Bay Instructor Geisler takes to the tracks for Train Jam experience

I would love a boat based squad, this makes me think of the trainjam or like art residencies based on an experience in X window!
I had done a like 8-12 hr whale watching trip and it was phenomenal (I obviously wasn't doing much sailing tasks but would be really invested in learning and supporting!)

Missed undermine. Jam or no? Clearly #trainJam for #jamTour26 @phish.net @phishbets.bsky.social
Turns out trains have to stay on rails. It was just a brief detour.
