Probably don't try this in the real Kamogawa...
Look and feel test for this area inspired by memories of hanging out by the river in Kyoto.

And you sure as hell shouldn't be hiding your FAQs or Support pages in a Discord channel either. They should be on your website.

Double down on the silly.
Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Discord is switching to teen-by-default settings next month, with face scanning or ID upload required for full access.

Unrelated - this past October, Discord suffered a data breach where 70,000 government IDs and info was stolen.

Balloon Kid is a real favourite of mine, it's fairly short but decently challenging, and it's very charming! I did an annoted playthrough on my website many years ago, including sections on the GBC version and the Hello Kitty version on Famicom!
