SOME GENERAL TIPS FOR STEAM GAME DEMOS
(from someone who has played so many of them)
Note: These tips also apply to games in general! They're good tips!
Want to get your nerdy kids outdoors for the summer? Send them to larp camp! Registration is open for Wayfinder, the wonderful roleplaying camp in upstate NY where I grew up (along with assorted future nerd celebrities) that made me who I am!

Every single household basic chore I have to do has aligned into the perfect storm of a Tuesday today: trash removal, laundry, cat litterbox cleaning, dishes, sweeping, and I am about out of spoons and it's only 10:30 AM π« π
If you haven't alread, pull your stuff from Academia edu IMMEDIATELY, especially if you have unpublished and draft ideas on there.
None of these pieces were labeled or titled. So many cats and a few doggies in the pieces. Check out the embossing, very impressive.
These scenes were so alive, photos don't do it justice.
From a distance you can't appreciate the embossing on the golden backdrop or the little faces, but these pieces were large. I swear you could live with these for a month and keep discovering things.
These colors make my eyes happy. The collection isn't what you immediately associate with Murakami and that made it extra special.
If you're in LA I *highly* recommend visiting Perrotin to see the Murakami exhibit. My brain couldn't process all of the details, each time I revisited a painting I would discover new things, spot new little guys. Tremendous collection of work. I encourage you to zoom in on these.
I find redheads very charming, typically, so I would never wish to be immune, personally π€π

Remember: When you playtest a game, never take playersβ feedback/suggestions at face value. Figure out what emotion is underneath what theyβre telling you, and then figure out what in the game is causing that emotion
Happy Valentine's Day if you're into the holiday and if you're not...hey, I hope you have a grand day, too! If you're feeling a bit blue or alone, just try to remember, you're likely one of many so there's solidarity worldwide there, too! π€ππ»

I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THIS THREAD IT WAS WONDERFUL
He is a man that knows how to put on a fun, live performance...the Grammy producers should thank their lucky stars every time he agrees to perform on the Broadcast, let alone, perform twice in one night. π€π
Iβve had to explain how a lot of my casting and talent coordination work isnβt Jira action item manage-able tasks and ended up having to make vague ones that just rolled over sprint to sprint for metrics π«
My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass.
It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved.
I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it.
Please share this...(1)
I have not purchased from this company personally,but I have seen people mention: www.fanrolldice.com/collections/... and then I have purchased (with a giftcard) some Wyrmwood gemstone dice and theyβre nice but imo likely overpriced π€

Was just saved by a nice neighbor as I stood about 25 feet across the roadway from our dumpster staring down at the part still coated in ice which I would have to cross to throw away my garbage bag. He stopped his car & asked if I wanted him to get that for me...so kind, as falling would suck π€π₯°
