Hello people! #introduction
This is an alt account I've made to talk about my hobbies: indie gaming, weekly trpg sessions, #pico8 programming, media, and all that good stuff. Probably a lot of trpg thoughts, and maybe some more personal mh, and personal stuff from time to time. Pull up a chair! […]

Today I came across that old adage while reading a book:
"True Irony is that Alanis' song does not contain any examples of irony."

It’s always a nice feeling seeing somebody on the train playing a game I’ve worked on.
But it’s an even better feeling stumbling across online erotic fan art of characters from a game I’ve worked on. Really makes my job feel meaningful.

A friend asked for a list of mastodon instances. Anyone has a favorite list they go to in this situation?
I know of joinmastodon.org/servers, but there are some weird choices there, so I wonder if there are other, more curated, lists.
