The Flip Out Jam itch.io/jam/flip-out, with games made for a custom alt controller with five toggle switches, was such a blast. Play the jam games (including my annoying elevator operator simulator Up To Go Down) at MAGFest!

For the holidays, my partner made me these amazing stickers to compliment my XCOM-2 obsession (which includes running way too many mods).
