I guess I'm still young and my bones don't freak yet but even then I feel like a lot of people avoid doing things they could still do just because of society, or something.

If you look online, it's easy to find recommendations for good multiplayer / co-operative videogames. My girlfriend and I have especially enjoyed playing games like Portal 2, It Takes Two, Rayman Legends, Overcooked and the Trine series. What we've found however, is that there are a bunch of games we enjoy playing together that are not multiplayer games at all! Because of this, these single player…

Soolagna’s assistant teacher’s name is Maha, my name is David and Soolagna just finished up a joint exhibition of her water colours. (See her pieces here!) Maha has no knowledge of it, none of the staff at the arts centre have any ideas. And a week later it still…

This is not transvetigating. Transvestigating is a term for when transphobic people point to "biological" reasons why someone is trans, and use it as a way to push the idea of some major trans agenda to turn people trans. Calling me a transvestigator because i point out a dead person might have possibly been trans and not said, or wasn't able to say for any reason is transphobic ## Kurt And…

Possibly the game I've played most this year is Puzzmo the newish (2023) daily puzzle platform by long time indie game designers Zach Gage and Orta Therox. Puzzmo offers a dozen or so games that update daily, stylistically similar to Wordle in that they are bite sized puzzles that aren't too demanding and can be solved in 2-10 minutes. The outlier and my favourite daily puzzle is Cross|word, a NYT…

Diablo 2 is a hugely popular game, if you played PC games in the early 2000s you almost certainly put some time into it.

Second, while I have developed a couple addons for NVDA, I am a hobbyist developer.
