New Post on my Personal Website: Scoping out the Eugene-Springfield Fediverse

I recently wrote up a new post for my personal website about the Fediverse in relation to the Eugene-Springfield area, and figured I'd share it. Let me know what you think!

Stop The Presses, Literally — The Eugene Weekly Falls Victim to Financial Crime

A new article from @doublesidedmedia provides a pretty good summary of the embezzling of funds at @eugeneweekly

Tabletop Gaming Event here in Eugene!

So tomorrow (as of when I'm posting this) there's going to be a tabletop gaming and fantasy focused holiday market over at Funagain Games. Figured I'd bring it up here since I only found out about it when I saw a poster around town.

EDIT: It's from noon to 6 PM
EDIT 2: It already happened, so don't get your hopes up

Anyone know when the High Street Protected Bikeway might open?

I've been highly anticipating it ever since construction began, and it looks nearly finished to me. This would make so many trips much easier!

Free Voice Training Workshop in Eugene!

Seems like it might be a good idea for any fellow trans people in #Eugene who are interested in voice training to attend.

[META] Should we have a separate sister community for discussing the University of Oregon?

I kinda feel like the university is a bit different, and it would be a great way to get more people who might be involved in campus life onto the fediverse as well as being a good place to discuss campus-specific topics without clogging the Eugene community. I'd be down to make one myself for that if that would be of interest.

Sad to hear that @doublesidedmedia is ending.

They were my favorite source of local news, especially since most local news outlets are just pushing copaganda all the time.

We're finally getting some rain tomorrow!

Huzzah!

Is this your cat? Missing cat found at The Vintage Café

A five month old kitten was found at The Vintage Café, by 8th and Lincoln street. If you have any information about the cat's owner or are yourself the cat's owner, please contact Stefaney at (206) 960-3844. Figured it would be a good idea to post it here since getting the word out would likely make the search for the owner go faster ❤️

[Now Released] Here have a little preview of The Sun Gem

an upcoming choose your own adventure game I'm working on for the #Commodore64 as part of a game jam

Some things I learned when making this:

1. It's better to make smaller games, as my last game was a more complex one that I couldn't finish
2. Developing for a retro computer is easier when you don't use a game engine (luckily I don't really like working with game engines anyways)

Edit: I released the game! Check it out here!
