I just found out that SIE launched Project Shindig yesterday. I worked on this project in its infancy back in 2020, long before it got its name. @landon.wtf and I spent so many long days during the pandemic dreaming up what it could be, and I'm so proud of where it went.

If you signed up for Project Shindig and already got in off the waitlist, this weekend is a great time to give it a try. On your laptop, create a room, invite some friends, and play some games together. If you haven't signed up yet, now's your chance!
