I made a sign for the table and everything! Well, Liz made a sign, and I nitpicked about it.

If you're wondering why I'm editing a trailer, it's because SOLARFLARE will have a booth at Chicago Indie Game Showcase (CIGS), hosted by @indiecitygames.org, on 9/6!

Stop by, fight robots with a friend, and tell me which character is your favorite (it's Bubblegum) and why (they're an #axolotl).

Flyer for Chicago Indie Game Showcase, listing all the games and sponsors.

Bubblegum the axolotl is only murderous when they need to be, which is frequently.

HEY I PUT OUT A GAME?!?!

A few days ago I released Surfin Sewers as an entry to the @indiecitygames.org 2025 Allstars Game Jam! It’s a short infinite runner arcade game so feel free to check it out, give it a few rounds, and post your score in the itch comments!

Today on "left handed words I didn't know were real words before HyperTyper"

"texas"
noun
U.S. Nautical
"A deckhouse on a texas deck for the accommodation of officers."

It's not just a proper noun, it's also the top deck of an inland or western river steamer. The more you know!
