Had a 4 day out of body experience watching people have fun with my first ever game and first "art thing i brought to a festival" my god. An absolutely unhinged @magfest.org this year. I saw strangers setting 4 hour timers on their phones, or running to my table with 6 badges from their friends.
Hello Fish Friends it is time for 🎊🐟The MAGFish Awards🐟🎊 Starting off, let's have a round of applause for our BIGGEST FISH: ahem drum roll please and thank you 🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁🐟🥁 SALT HILL (from @smashriot.bsky.social!) with a staggering 57 total meals!! 23 feeds is a lot!!! ON ALL 3?!? how. 1/5
I also was obsessed with @mtylpg.bsky.social's fish badge game. Set timers the entire con. Seemed like "cheating" to get friends to scan your badge, but having people came together to take care of each other's fishes made it even more communal and fun. My boy Low Guevara got so big, I love him

This year's Super Magfest held a David Lynch shrine. As the weekend progressed, it grew and grew, at one point including a Blue Velvet screening on repeat (pictured bottom right). What a lovely gesture from fans.

I am finding myself on a train home from MAGFest. What a year. Despite years of running this event this was my first year involved in both setup and teardown, watching the venue shift from a corporate void to a living creature and back to bones. Amazing the soul a community can impart to a space.
I am finding myself once again on a train bound for @magfest.org, where I’ve been volunteering as a dept head for the @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social for 5(?) years now! Holy heck yall we got a LOT happening this time around. HOPE YOU LIKE WEIRD CONTROLS.
I guess I can try to engage with a platform what is the worst that can happen
