Honestly I'm on @cookingminigames.bsky.social way more often than I am on my own account, but yes if you're at #MIGW and your game has anything to do with cooking, even minorly, give me a shout!

Hello those of you at #MIGW!

If your game has a cooking mechanic or minigame, is a cooking game, or there's something cooking-adjacent (like a cookbook), let me know so I can feature it on here!

(I'm also based in Melbourne, but am out sick, so I don't know if I'll be able to attend anything T_T)
