Dr Johnny Blanchard5 years ago I launched the Kickstarter for my book, Gaming in the Obscure. I still adore my book and although it was a rollercoaster of emotions, i'm glad I crowdfunded it rather than just printing a few copied for myself and the local library. Unfortunately, I don't think Volume 2 will happen, someone else is making too similar a book and they have far greater reach than me but I still get nice comments about it even now https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roguegunners/gaming-in-the-obscure/description #RetroGaming #Books

The AI snake oil salesman are just living the dream at the moment @EricaMdirector received an email suggesting one of our projects could benefit from AI. Now, as a production house we get similar emails quite a lot - normally for script writing, which is insulting on its own. But this one was for The Yesterday Game, which is a documentary featuring interviews with real people. Bloody chancers the lot of them
I've got a couple of ideas for sitcoms but I really need a writing partner, do I have any writing people out there who want collaborate on a project? #writing
It’s not nice when Film Festivals start telling films they’ve been selected before telling the films that haven’t. It’s especially not nice when they share the social media of filmmakers that made it.
We knew it was a long-shot to get in, but it still feels shitty to find out like this. We won’t apply to this festival again
Because i'm a romantic, i've written down a retrospective of mine and Erica's wedding:

A big thank you to @EricaMdirector for becoming my wife today, she ran the whole day like she was directing a play and it went perfectly

Ryan PollardI have a very dear friend wanting to join Mastodon from elsewhere, but he's hoping for a server that's going to help him stay dialed into his work in #trans 
activism. I said I'd put it out there and see if anyone had any recommendations. What say you, Fediverse?
UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your boosts and your advice. Not only was I able to present him with some great suggestions, I got to show him how amazing and welcoming you people are. Y'all are the absolute best.
The first release of Mille is out on itch.io. This is considered an early-access release because I've not implemented online multiplayer and there could well be bugs in there
