I'm in a virtual company meeting with audience participation: instead of the presenter reading their slides, they're having people in the breakout room read the slides out loud instead. This is going as well as you can imagine.

Deploying direct to production

I've never seen The Sixth Sense or The Crying Game. I learned about the twists before I saw the movies, and that killed my enthusiasm for seeing them.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Having a pet curl up and fall asleep on you 2. Going to the store to buy something and it's on sale 3. Seeing a dragonfly or hummingbird 4. Swedish Fish (the candy) 5. Falling in love with a song for a few days

New Movies with Mikey on youtube and it's a spicy meatball! The Fall of the House of Marvel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oizL...

Neon City Outlaws has hit its funding goal with almost a week left in the campaign! The first stretch goal has already been unlocked, and goals up to $80k are now visible on the page!

It's funded! Yay! But there are three moderate stretch goals to go, and they've already reached the first one. Can we get $4000 more in the next week for a digital soundtrack and a bonus scenario? #rpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

Aces #ttrpg designers Scratchpad Publishing are inches away from funding another one of their "easy to play/deep design" games, this one in a living cyberpunk city that the players collaboratively build. I both play their games and steal FURIOUSLY from them for my homebrews.

Neon City Outlaws is close, with 8 days to go! Check out this amazing game by Rodney Thompson! www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

Re: this week's Game Changer, I have to remember that @samreich.bsky.social practices magic. The secret sober did a fantastic job fooling everyone, kudos!

How many of PAD's Star Trek novels and comics did I read? As many as I could; he was one of my favorites. Best wishes to his family and loved ones.

Standard Ebooks is incredible, public domain books, but cleaned up and made consistent and pretty; unlike Project Gutenberg which is also incredible but sometimes littered with problems in the files standardebooks.org
