It's over, but the VOD is up! Come see a sneak peak of the Il Fantasma trailer, largely without audio because the screen share is a bastard.
But yes, fantastic chat, I always know it's a good chat when I'm desperately trying to not interrupt and engage with some new really cool thing someone said.

June 24th!
On the social media ban: the lion's share of the blame obviously goes to reactionary right-wing feelings of having the right to the minds and actions of children...
It goes without saying that inter-generational spaces need safeguards to protect young people from predation, but I think it's throwing the baby out with the bathwater to just section them off entirely
An issue is that these sorts of spaces are just hard to maintain online. Physical community good.
But I do think its worth online progressives engaging with the idea that our stated desire to protect young people has also pushed them out of spaces they would have otherwise participated in, robbing opportunities for inter-generational friendship and mentoring.
@perfectrandom.bsky.social Heads up, just had an incredibly frustrating bug in Sulfur on Steam Deck where my camera just locked at one point. Stick controls and gyro controls wouldn't shift it at all, completely stuck.
Couldn't aim so tried to run to the end, died, lost tons of stuff.
Was talking on the @stillfleet.bsky.social show last night about this. My hangout spot was the local big games workshop, and the crowd were mostly teens with some adults.
Met a lot of weird guys! Not predatory, just odd. Valuable experience. Learned what *not* to be like, as much as from them.
ngl, these kinds of run-breaking bugs are *incredibly* frustrating in a game based around preserving rare equipment. Losing stuff 'cause I died is one thing, losing stuff because the game broke is miserable.

Another spread from the Quickstart!
"He just slipped right into his role", they said afterwards. But you didn't just slip, you tumbled, head-over-heels, into the viscous technicolour.
