As a huge fan of "Demeo," this was my most anticipated game of the year and it has not disappointed so far. A bit more robust and accessible due to the D&D tie-in, but still challenging and unorthodox enough in the ways that made the original special. 👍 #gaming

"AI" content truly is one of the greatest wastes of resources in human history. There was already far more excellent art being created by people than could ever be consumed, much less fully appreciated, in several lifetimes. Curation and surfacing are what's needed, not more slop. 🤔

Tried a few more Linux desktops and, to my mild surprise, KDE Plasma runs much better on the 2013 Air than I expected. I still like Cinnamon but I think Plasma takes the crown in my case. Funny since KDE was my "go to" back in the day. Some things never change, I guess. 🙂👍

A question I get from other authors: "Are giveaways effective?" My answer: "Yes, assuming that what you give away is of good quality. Many people will get around to it eventually, and love that they got something they enjoy for free, which can create a new fan. It's a long game."

I'd hoped to recommend this one for Halloween but the initial versions of it were a bit too janky and rough around the edges. Fortunately, some post-launch patches have really smoothed things out and made for a much better experience. Nice job, devs! 👍 #gaming
