Just to clarify The Sea of Thieves thing since some press are making assumptions: I was given a heads up before the announce, but wasn’t given an opportunity to be meaningfully involved. I do wish the game well. I love Monkey Island.

In the first two Monkey Island games Elaine never fights with a sword. Her strength comes from being one step ahead of everyone. She doesn't need to conform to the male power fantasy trope to be strong and that is what I have always found interesting about Elaine.

Remember -- don't let ANYONE ruin your day. Don't empower them. It's YOUR day. Ruin it by yourself.

👀 #TIL Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

I gave up over a 150,000 followers on Twitter to be on Mastodon full time. Yes, the engagement and reach is a lot less, but I'll build it back up and it will be worth it. I hate to see people run back to Twitter because of friends or careers or whatever. You know what changes that? Being on Mastodon and bring those people here. Musk is a horrible person, don't be one of his enablers.
