My partner, a practising therapist, has recently begun facilitating a support group once a month for those who have discovered they are neurodivergent later in life. I've attended two. It's *very* validating to discuss your experience with those who understand! www.instagram.com/neurodiverge...

Hey pals 🙂 I launched a new games studio @gameteam6.com & made a cute roguelike deckbuilder word game called Birdigo, along with film screenwriter John August. We just shared a demo, if it sounds like your kind of thing i hope you get a chance to check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3264170/...

Ludocene is launching Monday for early access backers and my picks as an expert are LOCKED IN. My focus leans more mystery/detective but I'm also all about queer, cozy, and experimental indies✨
