The official release date for Sanibel is January 16, but I've heard about at least TWO stores so far that have it NOW, and it's not embargoed. I'm guessing there are more! If you find it, there is no better feeling than seeing a game I love get out into the world -- I want pictures!! 🎉

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community. Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

The onryō’s revenge was the loved ones and snacks we celebrated with along the way. ♥️

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.
