In all the excitement of joining Mastodon yesterday, I forgot to share my main project!
#RouxMates is a game for 2-5 players where players will compete to determine who is the most popular roommate by making meals for their friends and completing chores in their shared apartment kitchen.
Roux Mates won the 2022 #CardboardEdison In-person Track and is currently looking for a publisher. I'm really proud of this weird little game and I'd love to find a home for it!
Thanks for checking it out!
Is anyone having as much fun making movies as #RianJohnson? #GlassOnion is a blast!
If you have ever played Wingspan, would you mind filling out a short survey about Wingspan & birding for me? I'm interested in responses from both birders and non-birders. Feel free to share. Thanks! https://forms.gle/PTWu7bboJh8ok98n8
Twitter Links Fiasco
It looks like even though Twitter has backtracked it's stance on posting links to other social sites, they're still marking those links as "unsafe."
They never got around to removing my pinned Mastodon link, but when you click it today, you're greeted with a warning screen.

CW: Cosplay / Sexual Assault / Racism
So I'm having a great time at PAXU, but I felt some real "yuck" yesterday seeing a guy walking around in a Homelander costume.
I recognize that the person wearing the costume is not the same as the character, but dressing up as a White supremacist rapist is a real capital "C" Choice. Maybe I'm just super out of the loop on cosplay culture, but that feels like a massive yikes for me.
My work with Our Family Plays Games on YouTube is one of the best things I do every month, I am so proud to be a part of this channel. This episode I ask: Is Diversity Good Business? https://youtu.be/7tYth_cG5_8 #boardgames
Hive Social
I dowloaded Hive Social last night. If you're considering joining it's worth knowing a few things going in.
It's developed by an extremely small team. From what I can tell, maybe only two people? I don't want to dunk on a small dev team trying something new under lots of pressure, but the Android app simply isn't ready. Key features like profile music aren't available and the app seems unable to connect to photo libraries so you're only able to post text.
So find me here for now!
Tusky Realization
Woah! Tusky can hide replies in your Home feed so it behaves a little more like the Local feed!
I was finding the Home feed to be tricky to use because it was mostly disjointed replies from multiple ongoing conversations. This makes it easier to opt out of discussions you don't want to see or aren't a part of. It's really nice!
#Music - Fever Ray
It's been a week, y'all.
But there's a new #FeverRay album out in March and a new single today! It bangs:
Day one on Mastodon in the bag and I'm not filled with the same sense of dread, sadness, and fear I feel all the time on the other sites.
The doomscroling is gone? And it's moderated? And there's no ads? So we could have just had a nontoxic social media experience this whole time?!
Thank you to everyone who's been here a while for putting up with the newbies! I appreciate all the guidance so far!
