Recently whenever I get the "I want to watch something but there's nothing to watch" urge, instead of mindlessly scrolling , I've been trying to take that as a sign to work on something creative. I think it's helped a lot.

As Josh always says “a win doesn’t have to look pretty” Though it would be better for my heart.
It seems that publishers can ask for their game to rightfully be taken down. “Aviary” / Wingspan has already been taken down. Please contact the proper publishers to request their games to be taken down. We’ll also need help identifying all of the games so the correct people can be informed.
It’s absolutely maddening that someone would take this much advantage of so many creative people against their consent and dare to charge money for it… I’m not a lawyer but this should be outright illegal.
I have finally updated my store with a few remaining copies of Metal Scraps Covered in Moss, RITE, and a few others. Feel free to peruse for your RPG zine "needs." I'm also fairly poor at promoting my shop, but I have one. You can find RPGs about lots of things. :) www.presspot.games/store

I don’t drink alcohol. And when I tell people, at most I'll get 1 follow-up question. I don’t use genAI. And when I tell people, it's just never ending questions and reasons why I should use it.

I was really proud of this composition, even if I could have done a better job cutting.

Riding the absolute high of playtesting my codesign with @ksxrdev.bsky.social and realizing it feels like a legit published game. Guess we gotta get it in front of some pubs.
I just want @ithayla.bsky.social to know I correctly identified The Matrix on a TV I walked by where it was only a frame of half of Trinity's face peaking over a computer screen in a dark room.
"These Games Are Not For Sale" is a little project @tonytran.bsky.social and I have been cooking up. It's a festival celebrating game design for the sake of it; games that can't or won't be commercialized. Please give this account a follow if you're with us:

I began collaging tonight for the first time, and this felt great (?), appropriate (?) Either way, it was a fun first foray.
NOT EVERYTHING IS AI SOME THINGS ARE JUST BAD LET THINGS JUST BE BAD I legit would like more poorly written, poorly drawn, poorly whatever pierce of art and less AI. At least they tried.

Decided to 6-degrees of separation from Bluey. So far shortest I've got is... Me -> my Mom -> Hoda Kotb -> Natalie Portman -> Bluey Also realized I've not met like any famous people
I may not know how to name the different versions of my files, but I do know never to name something "final".
All I wanted was an analog wrist watch, and all I got was an empty box and a refund.
