Hello! I should probably take a minute to introduce myself so I'm not just another stranger on the internet, but a stranger you know a little about.
So here's a very coherent yet rambling thread about your local ginger weirdo!

Being forced to "upgrade" to windows 11 is despicable behaviour.
@microsoft.com I hope your tea is always cold when you go to drink it, I hope your toes are always stubbed, I hope you stop making ugly updates that force spyware into my stuff.

We're almost halfway there! Thank you so much! Almost 60 backers, how exciting. We've still got several days to go, but it would be so cool if we could fund in the first week. Please help us get there!

Art Fight approaches its end, and this was my final attack 😌💓 When someone adds an anti-imperialist, gun slinging paladin to their character list... What's a girl to do 🤷

I've been pondering a longer form of a game I made for the 36 word game jam over on itch... and I'm struggling so badly to pin down exactly what I want from it! I feel like there's a good four avenues I could go down with it. It's infuriating! Maybe I need to try each and see what sticks...

I’ve almost definitely made this exact post before but I am once again rewatching ITV Primeval and there’s something so refreshing in the low-budget, average wardrobe and actors that look like…regular people rather than Hollywood stars.
Like. I could see all these people on the street!

I have a dental appt tomorrow we can't pay for & have received a total of $10 since asking for help after medical emergency on Sunday.
I don't know what to do other than beg folks to not assume others are donating.

Gonna talk for a second about Nazis, Republicans, DrivethruRPG, that Star Wars game, and more importantly, my grandpa.
Bear with me, the edibles are just kicking in. Might be a little thread.

An important note: the bullying is only possible because of the disclosures companies have to make on Steam pages. I'd love for Sony and Microsoft (lol) to follow suit and let players make their own ethical choices, but with near *everything* on Steam, this is very helpful.

I've run up against an unexpected expense, so City of the Red Pox is on sale on Itch. Down to £2 from the usual £5. If you like Troika, you might want to take the opportunity to pick it up.

happy pride month! 🌈
this pride, we encourage you to consider what it means to have a queer politick, rather than just a queer identity. pride was born from resistance to state persecution of queer people. we encourage you to embody those values in your day-to-day, but especially this month ✊🏼

Having hEDS is wild. Migraine stacked on top of the worst cervicogenic headache I've had in years, only relief from either was to sleep on my front with my head tilted at an alarming angle. Felt a bit like when headphone wires go dodgy and need to be held at a specific angle to get the connection 😂
