 Trailer for a new game called Faye Freelance: Rebel Reporter by Jonah H, with music by Jared Emerson-Johnson.

It's a solo (?!) indie project with style for days.

 Two things (possibly the ONLY two things) better about BlueSky than Mastodon:

1) the engagement numbers & replies are actually accurate, instead of weird guesses from your server amidst secret posts that you might not see for any number of arbitrary reasons

2) the prevalence of pointless social memes like “what’s your favorite album” and “post a photo of you as a teenager” because dang it those are fun. 
 The moment I sit down to work on my after-hours project that’s extremely behind schedule.

 Pazuzu is a very photogenic cat who HATES appearing in photos. Just seconds after I brought out the camera, he looked at me as if to say “what the HELL, man?” and jumped down to the floor to sulk. #caturday

 @b65192d2 I mean, these are the same people who refused to call it Madison Sphere Garden, so what did you expect? 
 I just canceled my Photoshop subscription, which is something I've been meaning to do for a couple of years.

The only thing I use it for anymore is generating and converting art for Playdate games. So I'm hoping that Pixaki on the iPad along with ... some application TBD will make it possible to continue.
