Consistently loses at board games cause I spend all my time explaining the rules.

Made a game once, was fun, probably will again some day! https://benfardel.itch.io/m0ria

Has modern animation gone too far? 😆

Hey #screenshotsaturday! It's my second game based on minesweeper in Unity, and my second game ever, it's *Miner Chords*, for Android! It even has a trailer now 😁 Not sure how much more work I want to put into it at this point... How do you know when to stop?

For anyone who feels like this, guess who just made a minesweeper variant for Android with absolutely no monetization or data collection?

Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating

Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands

I thought some good might come of this, this sucks

Same. My lesbian wife and her beautiful relationships are a big part of my life, and my relationships are a big part of hers, even though they rarely collide, just because we are each other's best supporter.
Yes, it is possible for me to be in a monogamous relationship with my wife while she is in a polyamorous relationship with me.

No, that doesn't make me a Soyboy.

No, that doesn't make me a "Beta" male.

That makes me an understanding partner that supports my wife's needs.

It's 2024. Grow up.

#polyamory time🎉

My polyam flavour is that I'm married and have kids, and I have two loving, separate, open relationships in addition.

Everyone knows everyone else, meets on occasion (my 40th birthday was awesome 😁) and we all strive to become better people as well as partners.

people online complain a lot about polyamory whereas polyamory people are playing Mario Kart

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way
