Can you all please check out this really cool counter by @ArchiteuthisFlux and sign up for the waitlist if you want one? https://www.tindie.com/products/architeuthisflux/rota/

I personally want this for counting during board games and card games. It'd be perfect for tracking my health in Magic the Gathering or Dungeons or Dragons.

@AlieGG @straithe @geekmomprojects Our respective brands of tomfoolery *do* seem to cause a lot of meme-generating positive feedback loops.

@ArchiteuthisFlux @AlieGG @straithe I like that I'm as old as the two of you put together, but you're the ones using the terms "tomfoolery" and "shenanigans"

@geekmomprojects @AlieGG @straithe Us burgeoning flibbertigibbets tend to keep a stockpile of archaic terms, like a squid storing up ink for the winter.

@geekmomprojects @AlieGG @straithe (okay I know I'm the "squid facts guy" and don't want to be the "squid misinformation guy", so I must clarify that I don't know of any cephalopods who do that. Wouldn't surprise me though, they're weird as hell)

@ArchiteuthisFlux @AlieGG @straithe I'm glad you clarified that "fact" before I attempted to use it in some critical aspect of my work. 🙃 Gotta constantly keep an eye on you young whippersnappers!
