Hi Bluesky! I'm Tabby, I'm the UX Director for Mighty Yell. I helped make Quench, The Big Con, A Knight in the Attic and currently working on All Systems Dance!

I'm also a cat mom, gardener, painter, journaller, washi/sticker enthusiast, and FFXIV catboy :3 Hope to see y'all around!

For a fraction of the cost, I can make placeholders for you that are guaranteed to slip through to final build and far beyond.

Oops, we made another game!

Fivefold is a daily logic puzzle where the rules change every day. Play it free in your browser!

fivefold.ca
Screenshot of a web puzzle game from a browser. The header says “Fivefold” and “Daily”. The main play area is a 5x5 grid. Some of the grid cells are filled in with large numbers of various colors. Some of the cells have small numbers in them representing possible candidates in those cells. On the edges between some cells are symbols, some are pentagons, some are multiple dots. The dots range in number from 1 to 4 dots. These symbols represent rules telling the player information about the relationship between adjacent cells.

It's never a bad time to restate that we do not use generative AI for our content.

Accessibility, like art, is only possible through the lived experience and expertise of people. People with conscience, not clock speeds. Driven to make things better for the many, not to make a profit for the few.
A blurred view of the Can I Play That? website combining light and dark modes in the background, with the logo in front. Below the logo are the letters AI in white, obscured by a red prohibited sign (a round red circle with a red bar running through it diagonally).

Once a baseball game gets to the 13th inning it's like Balatro runs that go off the rails. No one knows what anything means anymore. The score has an e in it

Given how much baseball people like to record historical firsts for stuff I think we should adopt the GDQ "that's never happened before" banner on the scoreboard

Would love some support on a Thoughtful Play I just put up for @intelligame.us ! Likes, comments? Subscribes? 🔔? 😅

Started checking out @somethingclassic.bsky.social 's Quartet the other day, and loving the Final Fantasy VI vibes. Great soundtrack, compelling writing, and PEOPLE OF COLOR TOO
intelligame.us Intelligame 🍉 #ThoughtfulPlay @intelligame.us · 24d
I checked out a game in my backlog yesterday: Quartet.

It's a turn-based RPG that feels straight out of a SNES Final Fantasy, with a killer soundtrack and SUCH good writing. I'm just getting started, but I'm struck by the storytelling in Wallside. 🧵

This post hits *all* the points about why I'm not doing cozy game or life/farm sim reviews anymore. Saying all the things I've wanted to say about the "wholesome community" but was too afraid to write

remember that time when I wrote an article explaining how and why alt right types like to infiltrate wholesome communities and how to be resilient against that behavior?

3 years of October calendars!

#journaling #artjournal #stickers #washitape
October 2024 calendar page with a spooky autumnal forest theme featuring cryptids, autumn-themed forest creatures, and eyes everywhere. October 2023 calendar page featuring cryptids witches seated upon giant mushrooms, woodland insects, and fall-themed dragons. Sept-Oct 2022 calendar page featuring a hand drawn scene of common garden and Ontario native plants fading from green to yellow and red foliage. All 3 calendar pages together in 3 separate Leuchtterm Bullet Journal dotted notebooks (a cat's tail is also in frame - that's Cassie).

Keep up the pressure! #SaveSpeech
In the last two weeks, we have seen a wave of censorship sweep across online retailers, particularly Steam and Itch.io. This is because of demands from payment processors as well as sex-negative activist groups like Collective Shout (originally reported by journalist Ana Valens, and then censored by VICE’s parent company). UVW affirms that sex and sexuality belong in games. Games are works of art, created by workers who should be free to express themselves. It's important to encourage a healthy and critical discourse about the media we consume. One vocal minority cannot have the power to categorically silence creative expression, just because some sexual themes make some people uncomfortable. Sexual art is art, sex work is work. Any attempt to suppress sexual art is an attempt to suppress all art. Any attempt to deny sex workers their dignity is an attempt to deny all workers their dignity. Workers rely on platforms like Steam and itch.io to distribute their games, and it is workers who are suffering at the behest of this vocal minority. We call on the payment processors Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, and any other companies demanding compliance with this unjust action to reverse their policies and stand with the workers who have lined their pockets for years with their labor. We call on Valve and the Itch.io leadership to reverse their policies and stand with game developers. We encourage our members and the general games community to use the resources in the quoted post to contact these payment processors directly and express how strongly we object to their actions.

Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla...

Hey, as someone who makes a living off selling adult games, I would really appreciate people helping to push back against censorship by payment processors. These puritanical extremists pressuring them have been successful because they've made a lot of noise, so we should be making even more noise!
