Can we talk about the opaque, immovable, unavoidable left and right arrows when looking at pictures on this website? Am I being silly, or do you just not get to see what's underneath if you click on a picture? It's especially troublesome for images with words.

@catsofyore.bsky.social a friend is hosting this cat themed game jam on itch.io, which will be turned into a bundle to benefit a cat rescue. Would you mind reposting to help get it out there?

Honestly, I find it ridiculous that contributors like me, who only have accounts to receive royalties from someone else's publication, will also be assessed this fee.

And I know I spend well more than twelve bucks a year on dumber stuff, but it's really the principle of the thing.

It's not about the revenue itself, since it's a very small amount. It's just disappointing and frustrating that I have to decide, as a creator, that I can no longer benefit from something I helped make unless I pay for the privilege.

I contributed to an anthology about two years ago that's hosted on Draft2Digital, and now I'm disappointed that I'll have to forfeit the little earnings that trickle in from it. I'm not really in a position to scale up my presence on another platform, and it's not with the $12 to maintain.

Oops, sat down to do some work and somehow fell down a hole precipitated by how much I loved Scavengers Reign and how much of a bummer it is that we won't get a season 2.

What I love about portfolio day is the overwhelming desire to abandon all projects and make a new game bespoke to an artist's portfolio... for pretty much every bloot I see.

I should add the disclaimer that this is NOT for a cat game.

Getting through the meat of some game dev recently, by which I mean I've read a lot about medieval omens, late antiquity animal husbandry, and historical natural disasters.

We're one-third into Cat Jam and there are some cool-looking entries already. If you've got a:
- TTRPG
- Comic
- Video Game
- Novella
- Interactive Photocollage Memoir
- Whatever!
and it includes cats, I want it in the jam! Existing projects welcome, otherwise you've got three weeks!

Those of you who have been following me for a long while might remember a cool game jam I hosted 4-5 years ago where I designed a bunch of evocative cover mock-ups for people to make ttrpgs or larps based off! Well, it's back! #ttrpg #mockcoverjam itch.io/jam/mock-cov...

A friend is running a ttrpg jam, with lots of folks making cat art. Proceeds from the subsequent bundle will also go to support (you guessed it) cats.

Small child-like figure labeled "me" saying "I like making games". Seething anxious wretch figure labeled "also me for some reason" saying "you need to make games faster".

Please also tell me about the podcasts you like and listen to! I'm going to do my due diligence in searching, but a good recommendation is worth a whole redditor list of half defunct links that I'd need to vet.

Hey podcasters, I put "guest on a podcast" on my bingo goal board, so now I'm manifesting. I'd love to talk about:
1) the cat jam and bundle,
2) Spell: The RPG youtu.be/kROVWzQgRtQ
3) weird and whimsical game design,
4) pretty much whatever you want to talk about.
