I promised @kyrstinnnnn.bsky.social I would share this 🫣 She even made a meme to send to my mom that outted me for not sharing it 😂😂😅

Maria, the writer, did a great job of making me sound intelligible, so please read it if you get the chance! 🙈

We met a Technical reporter at the GBC 70th anniversary event last week while showcasing our game, Squirrely Roo Rabbit. So, earlier this week, I got the chance to chat with them about how I got to where I am of owning and running an indie game studio! 😊
